Mancos is fortunate to have great restaurants and Olio’s is one of them.  A delicious blend of food, wine and art.  Last weekend I went to a gallery opening for Jan Goldman, a pastel artist from Durango.  Wow!  The landscape drawings were incredible.  Jason Blankenship the chef/owner of Olio’s did a phenomenal job on the appetizers.   I had helped out with Adaptive Sports all day, and it was a treat.  The choice of wine is extensive.  I had a glass of Muscato.  Hope you have a chance to check out Jan’s exhibit.  Olio’s is located in downtown Mancos – 114 W. Grand Avenue.  Be sure and call for reservations 970-533-1381.  Here’s a copy of their menu!

Summer in Mancos: cool nights 50 degrees and warm days 84 make it an awesome place to live.  We celebrated the wknd of the 4th by going to the mountains, BBQ’s, and going for a swim at McPhee Reservoir by Dolores.  My family raises horses and I got one last week so evenings are spent riding.  My Dad taught me to ride before I could walk and I have wonderful memories of riding with him.  Horses are in my in blood.  The evening of the 4th was spent watching the fireworks at the park in Mancos.  Fireworks going off right above us!  Hope you made wonderful memories too.

Absolute Bakery   November 13, 2015

We are very fortunate to have the Absolute Bakery in downtown Mancos.  If you want to feel connected, just come to the bakery.  You will find locals who meet regularly and if you happen to be alone will invite you to their table.  You will have instant friends!

The food is delicious!  Prepared from scratch and using locally grown veggies make it amazing.  My breakfast favorite is “the stack”.  Yum!!

The bakery is located in an old 100 year old bank building decorated with all kinds of art from local artists.  Debbie Doty who paints lovely scenery and wood carvings by Dave Sipe are my favorites!

Don’t forget to grab a cookie, or homemade bread before you leave!  It’s a must stop for visitors and locals.
