We're Off

In case anyone thinks I have gone AWOL, I wanted to let you know we are off to Colorado, land of mountains and lofty trees and all manner of wildlife, including fish, which we will be pursuing. I have never fished in my life - no not ever - but D visited Wal-Mart last week and came home with two poles and a plastic box filled with colorful and squiggly lures and bate. I even bought shoes that are appropriate for fishing, being as how my cute sandals would just not cut it in the wilderness.

More than fish, we are in pursuit of coolness, blessed coolness. I anticipate that my clothing will not stick to me the minute I step out the front door the entire time I am there. With perfect faith that we will indeed encounter chilly evenings, I bought a blue jean jacket. I know. I know. It is almost inconceivable that one would need such a thing at the end of July/first of August. But I am assured that a light wrap might feel wonderful in the evening, when we will stroll after dining - just on sidewalks, mind you. I have no wish to encounter bear or even wandering elk, but I think they will stay out of the middle of Estes Park after sundown.

I'll have stories, I just know it, and I will share them when I return, although I may need a few days to come back to normal after VACATION!

Au revoir, mes amis.
