Hiya! We just finished up a fun weekend - (because of my work schedule, our weekends are now Sundays and Mondays.) Saturday evening we visited Chatfield Lake State park. It has a big reservoir, plus camp sites, paths, and even horse-back riding. We walked along the beach of the reservoir, watched the ducks and sailboats, and took pictures of the fall foliage (everything's so pretty and golden!). On our way back to the car, we looked up in a tree and saw an owl less than 20 feet from us! He just watched us, let us take our pictures, and then flew off to start his evening hunt.
Sunday we spent doing around-the-house stuff. We made our weekly pilgrimage to the grocery stores (yes that's plural -3 to be exact). We've been playing the Grocery Game for 9 weeks now. It's an online site that matches weekly grocery store sales to coupons to come up with "rock-bottom" prices. So we have been stockpiling stuff when it's rock-bottom. Which makes for some interesting combinations in the cart - like 4 boxes of crackers and 12 cans of veggies this week. I was especially excited to see raspberries on our list this week - my fave fruit! We found another couple playing the game at one of the stores - you can definitely tell - one person is comparing the printed out list to individual items, and the other is flipping through a stack of coupons. It's fun though, and we definitely won't run out of canned corn anytime soon. =)
Which brings us to Monday - our new car's birthday! Well, maybe not it's actual birthday, but the day it came home with us. We looked at cars a month ago, but we've been so busy with travel and work that we weren't able to get back over to the dealerships until yesterday. Toyota was my preference, so we went back there to re-test drive the Camry. I loved it! It's dark grey with light grey interior, a V6 (peppy!), and it's my first new car ever! =)
