------------------------------
I promised you some photos of Linda and Ron at the house on Craig that they are diligently preparing for sale. Sunday the house had a nice but rare coat of snow all about it. But don't worry. There are mostly Republicans and Mormons in the neighborhood so all the walks are shoveled clean as soon as the snow falls.
Kathleen and I told Ron and Linda we'd treat them to dinner 
Saturday night. Linda took us to a nice lunch in their Old Town at Enzio's where we had some nice pasta and sausages and salads. Very Tuscanesque surroundings and a great looking bar, if you ever get the chance to check it out.During a mandatory shopping spree, the couple picked
out a nice picture depicting one of the great restored buildings in the Old Town. After the picture helps sell their house, it will be used in Minnesota to remind them of their time in Ft. Collins.Our treat was to be dinner anywhere they wanted to go, --- the trick was that it was Saturday night and we had no reservations. Kathleen and I have a rule to never go anywhere on Saturday night and, sure enough, we proved the rule, as everywhere we went, there were long waits and standing room only. We settled on pizza to go from the Old Chicago.
Back at the house we were just finishing up the meatlovers when the doorbell rang and the entire Heurta family exploded through the door.
We weren't sure we were going to get to see all of them (the grandkids had to clean their rooms to qualify to come over to Grandma and Grandpa's) but there they all were, with all the energy and vigor of youth, excited to run free at the Big House.
They came equipped with radio-control devices, DVDs, etc., for a Saturday night pajama party and church with Grandma in the morning.Parents Alyssa and Corey got the night off and are beginning to show their age: they opted for a quick trip to WalMart and then home to bed.
Kathleen and I are hopeful that the Heurta's will come to Minnesota to stay next summer, but only time will tell what they end up doing. It would be great having them extend our family there.
