Busy Spritzer Leyba’s!

I’m sorry, folks. Lately, I’ve been too busy to post, too busy to reply to emails, too busy to read the newspaper (now that’s a shocker), and way too busy to take pictures. Things are good though! I was on a really successful business trip last week, cousin Rachel and Uncle Mike came to visit us this past weekend (and we had a blast!), our yoga classes are going great, Bridget threw a smashing Halloween party last night, and I finally finished the seventh Robert Jordan book.

Hope you are all doing well!

Carrie Melon


Today I found this photo (taken by Paul) of our delicious wedding feast (thank you Lee and Gavin!) and it made me smile. We have a bunch of photos of this watermelon from the David side, but this is the only one of the Carrie side. May the warm colors and delicious food make you smile. Here in Colorado it is gray and cool and foggy. We could use a pick-me-up.

Fine food & ginger cookies

Last night our friend Stefan treated us to Riesling and muskatzinen cookies (at right) from Germany and took us out to dinner as a late post-wedding celebration. We went to Bacarro, one of our favorite happy hour spots, and enjoyed fine seafood (us) and fowl (Stefan). We then headed over to the Walnut Brewery, where we met up with Sally, one of Stefan’s former roommates. We had such a great time–and stayed up several hours past our bedtime. It was lovely.

p.s. The ginger cookies were delicious! We ate the entire batch today… Yum! Thanks, Stefan!

I love chill time on the weekend with friends.
