Trickle of snow and making the best of off season

Back from Colorado Springs - whirlwind trip with lots to do and lots accomplished. Mini snowstorm rolled through there as well as at home, making it  a little difficult for Mark to drive back from Denver airport to my mother's house after his business trip. Winter a comin'. The house at Star Mt. was 47degrees when we got back! My fault - hadn't turned the heat up and the nighttime temps were in the teens while we were gone.

Paul and Nancy are here, coming from different places (Dallas and Santa Fe) and on completely different agendas.Paul and Mark are on a heavy fishing schedule, and Nancy says she has no agenda, so I'm making one up.

So far we've gone to Garlic Mike's in Gunnison for Nancy's first night with great success. It's been around forever, much improved food and service over the last year in my opinion.

Next, off to CB to see what was even open. Nancy had a yen to try our Nepal and Tibetan restaurant Sherpa Cafe, and happily it was open..  You have to be adventurous to go there - very different food. Mr. Sherpa (oh yes, that's really his name) was there and confirmed he still is guiding people up Kathmandu and the like in his native country. Apparently all the people in that area have the last name Sherpa - interesting.

And of course had to introduce Nancy to Montanya Rum. I begin to see a pattern here - promoting daytime drinking for all. Only one drink, I swear.

How fun is this sign - closed for off season so couldn't try it, and I'm not really a big hot dog girl - but full points for creativity!

Yes, Paul is really here, and no, there are no pictures of him yet. I'll get there!
