    LuLu Visits Sterling, CO

    I knew Sterling, CO would be on my list from the get go. The primary reason being I have friends there. Then, when my friend offered to rewire LuLu, of course that meant I’d visit! Details of the rewiring aside, I actually spent a fair bit of time there and had a great time. It…
