Tonight’s post will be short.  It’s nearly midnight and I just piciked up youngest daughter Maria from Denver airprot and once back in Fort Collins, we decided to have a light and yummy dinner at a new cafe and wine bar in town.   Monday night, and the place was nearly full.  Saturday night, the place […]
