We went to the Rocky Mountain High Store in Boulder today. I learned something while there. When we gained entry to the storeroom the guy asked me what I needed. I told him gummies. He showed me the list of inventory and I immediately said darn, I should have asked them what kind they wanted. The clerk Immediately said I can’t sell you anything and you have to leave the store now. When I asked why he said he isn’t allowed to sell to someone that is buying things for someone else. Darn! Who knew?
I didn’t make that mistake at the second shop we stopped at. Got what “I” needed and left.
The drive to Boulder was beautiful. I especially like the scenery after Lyons as it opens up more. I was a bit claustrophobic on part of the drive today. I miss seeing the horizon.
Came home exhausted. I am learning that being around others drains me very quickly these days. I got so used to being just with Jim that when I spend time with others I get drained immediately.
After my nap we had leftovers for dinner and then walked up to Jim’s brothers cabin and visited with them for a bit and walked back. Saw a buck and a doe grazing in the grass just outside their cabin. It was a pleasant evening to be out walking. I could tell I haven’t walked for two days though as I was huffing by the time I made it up the hill and back to our cabin.
I did laundry this morning and got that out of the way. The laundry mat wasn’t busy and it was done quickly.
Not sure what our plan is for tomorrow. We will probably take a long hike in the afternoon. We have passes to go into RMNP for Thursday and Friday at noon on both days. Jim has some hikes in mind for those two days.
Traffic was heavy both going and coming back from Boulder. The road was not built for the amount of traffic that is on it these days. One slow camper can sure slow down a lot of traffic. Not many passing lanes and the campers don’t seem to realize they are slowing traffic and rarely pull over in the pull out lanes.
While in Boulder I called the Tractor Supply Store to ask about timing in ordering baby chickens. They had no idea of delivery lead times and didn’t seem to interested in finding out. I got on the suppliers website when I got home and found out they won’t have any before September 22. May check to see if Bluestem will have chicks before then and get them there.
Our first two weeks here is almost done. The time is going by very quickly. Before I know it our four weeks will be up and it will be time to go home. It was 96 in Boulder today. Sure feels better in Estes Park where the high was 77 today.
Grateful for a safe trip to Boulder and back today, grateful I got my shopping done, and grateful for our walk this evening.
