Going Our Separate Ways

John went fishing and I went shopping, that's about as separate as we get on these trips!

It's beautiful in the Gunnison Valley. The day starts out quite cool but warms up into the upper 70's by noon, starts out with clear skies and clouds up and acts like rain but doesn't rain in the afternoons, then clears up again for a nice cool evening. It really doesn't get much better. Add to that a hot air balloon flying over and its awesome!

John got the fishing bug as we drove by the Gunnison River the other day so I encouraged him to gear up and go. He talked with a local fly shop to find the best spot and had pretty good luck during the morning session. The afternoon session was just too warm and the fish weren't biting.

I rode my bike to the Farmer's Market and loaded up on fresh vegetables, peaches, eggs and fresh baked bread. Then after lunch with John and a video chat with our kids and grandkids, I again rode my bike to town and browsed the downtown stores.

We had dinner at a place called "Garlic Mike's". It was very busy so we sat at the bar to eat, which we don't mind because we always meet interesting people. In this case we met two couples celebrating their anniversaries as were we. The neat thing was that one couple actually knew someone from Sedalia that we know also! Small world.
