Vern's is this amazing little diner with timber walls, booths, etc. and the taxidermied head of just about every animal and bird found in Northern Colorado. It's always full of farming families, cowboys (real ones), and not many fussy people. It's just really comfortable. They serve cinnamon rolls the size of dinner plates ("one roll and three forks, please."), sausage gravy and biscuits, every kind of omelet known to man and some pretty incredible green chile pork sauce. Today, all of the animal heads were sporting Santa hats. The black bear was wearing a Santa hat and a white cotton beard. Vern's is always worth the trip.
Across the street you have a wide open view of the northern foothills right before Rist Canyon.
After breakfast, we drove Jessica to Denver to catch a plane to Texas to join her family before they head out to Buffalo for Christmas. Kate and I enjoyed the trip back north singing, talking and taking in the gorgeous Rocky Mountains against that amazing blue sky!

It is beautiful. We can't stop looking at the mountains. You'd think after almost a year they would be less fascinating but they look different every day.
Hope that you, Richard and ALL THOSE GIRLS had a great Christmas!
