A Quick Whirlwind Visit – Part 1

My friend Bob has already come and gone. He was only here for a short time, but we did A LOT while he was here. Bob and I go way, way, way back. The main reason for his visit was that his dad was being posthumously recognized for his achievements in the world of engineering; and of course to visit with us. 🙂 He came in Wednesday afternoon and just left early this morning.

The first day he was here, I cooked the three of us a nice dinner. I made us all some piri-piri chicken https://ajeanneinthekitchen.com/2026/05/02/chicken-piri-piri-mozambique-style/, Portuguese style fried potatoes, an orange pine nut salad with an orange vinaigrette, and a Portuguese almond custard cake for dessert. Pictures will come for those later.

After dinner, Bob wanted to see Denver, so we just did a little drive around downtown to show him some of the highlights. We drove mostly, but we stopped and walked around our Capitol Building too.

After our short little tour of Denver, we came back home, caught up, watched some TV and enjoyed our dessert. We had busy, busy days the next couple of days. So we took advantage of the quiet evening while we could. 🙂

Life is short, make the most of it while you can and enjoy every moment. Life is always better with friends too. Have a great day and make everyday great. Live life to the fullest and enjoy the ride. ‘Til next time.
