Three weeks in a row... Three different breakfast spots.
This week it was Turley's - a Boulder kind of place. Seems like they fancy themselves a bit healthier, organic option.
The breakfast menu was full of good choices. Ironically Theresa and both chose prett much the same thing. A #1 breakfast - two scrambled eggs, three turkey sausages, hashbrowns, and I had toast while Theresa choose the pumpkin muffin (which she wrapped up and took with her). Topped up with decaf coffee and water.
The service was good, friendly, and just the right degree of attentiveness. It did seem like it took a little while longer for our food to arrive than at some of the other restaurants. The hashbrowns weren't quite as crispy as I like them. AND! I'm definitely not a fan of turkey sausage patties - they were nasty - had real gamey aftertaste. I couldn't eat them - left two behind on my plate. The only other comment was that I asked for 'no butter' on my toast and it arrived with butter.
But all in all a pretty good place. The best part is just having breakfast with Theresa. Everything else is just secondary.
The total bill with tip was $25.

There is a universal human longing for an Omni shepherd who is worthy of
our trust.
Omni = all encompassing or complete
We have an Omni Shepherd who meets our Omni Needs.
2 Samuel 15 - David flees from Absalom
Brennan Manning - "We need to develop a habit of Holy Loitering."
Practices to cultivate a relationship with God:
Journaling
Prayer
Fasting
Solitude
Etc.
Move it from your head to your heart.
A.W. Tozer - "The most important thing about us is what we think about
God."
For Your Life Group:
1. Do you have a favorite Psalm? If so, which one and why?
2. Why do you think Psalm 23 occurs so frequently in popular culture?
3. Re-read 2 Samuel 15 with special emphasis on vv. 1-6, 12-14, and
25-30. Summarize David's "Omni Need" in your own words.
4. In your life right now, is there an all-empowering "Omni Need" that
is dictating your thoughts? If so, talk about the Good Shepherd's
character, and how you can lean into Him for strength or protection this
week.
5. Pray over those needs for one another.
Another Friday, another breakfast :-) Friday breakfast is probably one of the best parts of my week. With two young kids it's hard to have regular date night. So, after the kids are off to school we can just sneak off to breakfast and have some quality together time.
This week was the North Boulder Cafe located at •4479 Broadway. Basic diner stuff. It was seat yourself. The wait staff was friendly if not a little eclectic :-) Theresa had the two egg breakfast scrambled with bacon, hash browns and toast. I had eggs benedict overeasy with avocado and a delicious hollandaise sauce. Top it off with fresh coffee and we were good to go.
The total bill was $22 for both of us with tip.
