COUSINE CAMARADERIE.

Being in a bed is the best, and I slept like a baby. I rolled out somewhat early and found myself in an empty house. It was not too difficult to operate the Keurig, and I scavenged several fruits. Satisfied with my morning meal, I returned to the deck to do some typing. Glenn and Tracy stopped by with some tasty breakfast burritos but continued on with their day. Shortly after, my cousin Colby crawled out of bed and joined me outside. 

Somehow she got stuck with being my chauffeur for the day, and I had many errands to tend to. The first item on the agenda was to get my laptop to a repair shop. This was a simple task, and the technician said that I would hear from him by Monday with further details. Our next stop was at Colby's favorite dispensary. Boy, I had never purchased drugs so elegantly, and the deal was to die for. It was the lowest I had ever paid for an ounce and undoubtedly the best quality. Following the drug deal, we headed to downtown Denver. 

After driving around for a bit, we ended up at REI. The old brick building that housed this outdoorsy oasis was glorious. Originally built in 1901, the building generated electricity for the Denver Tram Company. I wanted to buy just about everything in that store, but I ended up getting fresh tent stakes and a pair of TEVA sandals. We were close to Taylor's house, the older Suta cousin. He has a new fiance, who I have yet to meet. We swung by his place and drove to a local watering hole. After appetizers and a drink, we returned to his humble abode. We shared another drink and caught up a little more. It was great to chat and meet the future family.

Colby and I had to get back to Littleton for a date with her parents. The four of us went to a local distillery downtown Littleton. My first drink was their bourbon on the rocks to get the full flavor. The next beverage was an old-fashioned, and it was a palate-pleasing experience. We returned to home base and prepared a lovely meal. I got to meet another potential family member as Colby's boyfriend joined us. For dinner, we ate steak, crab cakes, cauliflower and potato puree, and roasted vegetables. It was a fantastic feast, and the wine was wonderful. Before heading to bed, we flipped the photo album and reminisced on our childhood. It was a busy day, and I was ready for some sleep.
