Oh woe! Lafayette, Colorado has a lot of great dining options, and possibly more variety than Broomfield. But there’s a dearth of restaurants serving Sunday brunch, it seems. Beth and I set out this morning around 11:00 to try to find brunch in Lafayette. We knew Casa Alvarez had what used to be a well-known… Continue reading it’s hard to find Sunday brunch in Lafayette

And just like that, bits and pieces of the past 25 years of my life have been cleared away.
