Colorado, Birthday and Election

I arrived in Colorado on Thursday evening (23rd) and there has been glorious fall weather every day. The temperatures are around 75 degrees, the skies are clear and blue and the foliage is green, orange, yellow and red. Truly beautiful, and it is nice not to have bad weather on Halloween for a change.

I have been busy visiting with friends and catching up on my Mexican food quota. I have spent most of my time with my friends Arlene and Elaine. I met a dozen women with whom I used to work and went to a favorite Mexican restaurant. I spent the rest of the day visiting there and still didn't have time to see or talk to everyone. I'll go back next week. This weekend I am going to Colorado Springs and Pueblo to see friends there.

I VOTED!!! I brought my absentee ballot with me and dropped it off at a polling location. Obama was in Denver last Sunday, but, unfortunately, I wasn't able to be part of the 100,000+ people. On Saturday, he will be in Pueblo but I'll most likely miss that as well. I'm excited to be here for election day, though, and can't wait to watch the returns.

Before that, though, I get to celebrate my birthday on Monday. I think I may mark the occasion by doing some last minute volunteering for Obama. Now, THAT will be a memorable birthday!
