Breck- Day 2

 Our full day in Breckinridge brought homemade pancakes, river fun, ice cream, distillery tastings, laughs, shopping, more time in the hot tub, naps and memories. 

Breck- Day 1

 We were scheduled to be in Mexico for the week last week, but due to some unplanned family issues with the couple we were going with, the trip had to be postponed. Instead, Jen and Shelly hustled around and found a VRBO in Breckinridge for a couple of nights. So we loaded the gang up and headed to the mountains. Pizza at Beau Jo’s in Idaho Springs, walking around their downtown, lasagna for dinner, and beer and cigars in the hot tub wrapped up day 1!

Violet

 Looks who showed up on the free stage for the 2021 Greeley Independence Day Stampede!! Yep, the Violet Visionaries and our favorite drummer Little D. They rocked the 50 minute performance, including the debut of D on vocals with Radiohead’s “Creep.” There were probably 40-50 people in attendance, splint pretty evenly between their friends and their family. Note Sarabeth in the front row cheering on her brother!

Happy Birthday America!

 We spent the July 4th Holiday at Scribbs with the usual gang. Mom and Paul Noffsinger joined us, as well as Andrew and Ari. Sean did a great job with the brisket and pork butt, I smoked some mac’n’cheese on my Traeger and we had all the finings. Of course we played some cornhole and watched the fireworks. 

D

 Look at these happy kids! Love you Little D. I’m so glad you met Ari. She is just delightful. 

Traeger Time

 We hosted the birthday blowout for Shelly over the weekend on the back patio. Of course that meant TraegerTime! Tri-tip was the main course and turned out prefect. Also roasted corn on the grill. Sorry we weren’t in Mexico as originally planned Shelly. Hope it was still fun. Happy Birthday. 

Office

 Well, it was bound to happen eventually. On Wednesday the Merrill office officially reopened to Advisors. We actually relocated to a brand new space in April which is just beautiful. Rather empty and pretty quiet, but beautiful and a huge improvement from the former space. I am the only FADP left in the program from the Fort Collins branch. Just keep swimming!

Beer Dinners

 Beer dinners are finally back at the Tavern! We have missed them. As a quick recap, on the last Tuesday of each month Chef Chad and his team host a five course dinner paired with the beers from a local brewery. June’s dinner was with Horse & Dragon from Fort Collins. We were joined by our FAC team for a really fun time on the patio. July is the new Rule 105 Brewing.
