Going fishing

HAHA – well here ya go then – I make prickly pear tequila. Take a bottle of tequila of your choice and get the fruit of the prickly pear cactus (they are native to Arizona and have great medicinal value). You must very carefully skin the fruit being sure to get all the hair like stickers off. Push the fruit down into your tequila – it turns a beautiful pinkish purple color. After marinating for 24 hours it is ready to go. The prickly pear fruit really mellows out the tequila. Mix up a margarita or do as I do and do shots!

Ya gotta love my little sis, making her own “medicinal” adult beverage and then doing some shots!

This morning we’re going fishing! We’ll head up to Eagle which is 30 minutes past Vail to get some rods in the water early this morning. After we finish fishing, we’re headed to the Westin Beaver Creek where we’ll check in for the night. Thank God for hotel rewards programs! It’s a great place with a salt water pool where we’ve stayed before. We have dinner in Vail at one of my top accounts called La Bottega at 6pm. We’ll then have hopefully, a good nights sleep and be back in Denver by 10 or 11 in the morning.

Yesterday I was in Boulder while Mom went to PTA and then to her new book club. There were 16 ladies and I guess it was a good time for her. Uncle T made goolash and shared with us and it was pretty close to what we had as kids. I think my Mom’s had a bit more tomato sauce but his was good and it was nice not to have to cook after being gone all afternoon.

Not much else going on, the 3rd city in California just filed for bankruptcy, they also had a riot at an art walk in L.A.??? There must have been some really bad art. But other than that, all’s normal.

Time to go wash the car and gas it up, have a great weekend and we’ll probably write the blog tomorrow around noon. Grandpa Bob, the boys and us wish you were going fishing with us. I’m sure we could use your expertise,  we’ll take some pictures!
