Golds and Yellows







We just had a wonderful visit with our good friends Wade & Pam. We were so busy with fun activities that I haven't posted anything for a few days. Oooh, fall is here! Interestingly, our own aspen at the house have only just begun to turn. We aren't sure what causes the order of yellow turn: temp, altitude, or whim?






Of course did the Crested Butte walk and shop thing, including a quick stop at our now favorite coffee bean place (they roast their own) with funky license plates as their outside decor.Pam & I took a picnic up to Gothic and Emerald Lake another day. Gorgeous color everywhere. I know you've all been happy I stopped talking about the cows, but just have to mention that they (ranchers) let cattle roam above Gothic and around Emerald Lake. Never saw that before. I can't seem to get away from the "pies"...






Also took Pam to the Pioneer Museum in Gunnison. 20 buildings of past western history from one room school houses to stagecoachs to trains and everything in between- very overwhelming. We saw it all and then promptly were on history overload.



And where were the guys? FISHING, of course. Successful too, caught both salmon & trout. You can't keep the salmon now as they have not spawned yet, but yes on the trout and we had a great trout dinner last night. (Mark cooked them of course!)






More company on the way. Yippee!
