Ron and Ruth Chappell have taken such good care of us! We've eaten wonderful meals in their home, as well as enjoyed a couple of meals out. There are tons of wonderful restaurants in the Fort Collins area. We really do like this area, especially the 70-80 degree weather we're having. We brought snow clothes, not shorts, but we're not complaining! There is often snow by Halloween, so it is definitely unusually warm for this time of year. Much better for "getting out the vote" by hitting the streets.
We took one day off so the Chappells could take us to Colorado Springs to see the Garden of the Gods. Very interesting rock formations -- similar to the geological wonders of the Utah parks we were in earlier in the year.
Then there was Halloween. We were glad we weren't knocking on doors as Obama campaign volunteers along with the Trick or Treaters. Instead, we were with the Chappells and their grandchildren eating pizza before their parents took them out on the streets.
We're still enjoying what we're doing with the Obama campaign. Apparently I'm being assigned to be a precinct captain on Election Day, in charge of the precinct volunteers. I have no idea what that means yet, but will be trained to take on that duty sometime soon, I'm sure! We're working with young staffers (see 3 people in front of blue car) and many great volunteers. We're excited that Obama has a good lead in Colorado now. All we can do is hope and pray the election polls are somewhat accurate!
