Looking for a fun alternative to fast food and chain restaurants for your lunch options?  Step back in history to a simpler time.  Take pleasure in the traditional, Victorian styling of the old carriage house and have lunch at Nan's Team Room in Historic Downtown Elizabeth.   Maybe you have a special occasion to celebrate-birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, Red Hat Society gathering.  These are great reasons to visit Nan's Tea Room.  Come for Afternoon Tea, Children's Tea or Princess Tea (complete with your own tiara to keep)!

No, Elizabeth is not my personal assistant who helps me with scheduling my closing assignments, etc.  Elizabeth is the name of a small Colorado town in Elbert county.  It's a little more than 50 miles from Colorado Springs -- about a one-hour drive. One of the things that I like about being a notary signing agent is that I have opportunities to visit places in Colorado that I would otherwise not go to.  I thrive on the challenges that getting to some of these places presents. My job as a notary signing agent has taken me high up in the mountains, and far out on the eastern plains.  I actually look forward to getting c... 04/04/2009
