Thanksgiving

Tak and London joined us as well as several of Fina's friends. It was a grand day of prepping, eating, and enjoying each others' company. All the photos are here.

The Mezuzah Project

We're participating in Dennis Prager's Mezuzah Project to show support for Israel. You can read a little write-up about the project on Jamie's Torah website, here.

Lucky timing enroute to the calligraphy store.

Ephemera

Another new restaurant discovery for Nana and Papa in just a matter of days! This one is Ephemera, located in the C.O.A.T.I. building downtown. Much like Six Test Kitchen (a fave!) back in California. Now we have a similar fave here in Colorado Springs!

Birthday Times !

We've had several birthdays recently!

Dutch Heritage Gardens

Nana, Papa, and Fina ventured to a previously undiscovered nursery today: Dutch Heritage Gardens. It's quite a bit out East along Palmer Divide Road, but well worth the trip on the few times it's open to the public (they call these Open House events, one in the Spring and one for Christmas). We stocked up for the house and for Fina's dorm room. And for neighbor gifts.

And the Winning Salesman is...

AJ! He sold the most chocolate bars in his class. It was a Middle School Music Department fundraiser. His prize was a huge chocolate bar. Congrats!

Lumen8

Nana and Papa discovered a new restaurant... With a great view! Lumen8 is on the 8th floor of a Marriott hotel building downtown.
