Rain does not stop us

It rained, but not hard, and we decided to go downtown to Durango with Ron and Julie to look around in the stores and have lunch. Before lunch the ladies went to a couple of women's shops while Ron and I hit the sporting goods store. Lunch was at Old Tymer's, a Durango landmark. Foxy had posole, and I had a grilled Black Forest ham and pr0volone sandwich. Lunch was followed by more wandering through stores and galleries, and both Foxy and Julie found black felt hats at the Overland Sheepskin store. After a brief stop at WalMart, we headed back. We had decided to make Midwestern chili in the crock pot and were greeted with that lovely smell when we returned.

That evening we invited Ron and Julie and Byron over for chili and set up our folding white plastic work table which was big enough for the five of us to sit. It worked fairly well but we are still looking for the perfect table. We had seen a card table at Walmart that might be acceptable but have not made up our minds about that possibility.

Then about midnight it really rained and rained very hard. It woke me up although Foxy managed to sleep through it. When a small limb from a tree fell on the roof, I really jumped and wondered if there was any damage to the roof. Finally it slowed down and I drifted back to sleep. Happy travels.
