First, my awesome small group surprised me with flowers, a tiara (much like the ones I wore in my pageant days), and some yummy goodies for my birthday.
Brian gave me a spaghetti squash from his garden. Sadly, I was as excited about the squash as I was about the flowers. I'm old. Next year...party at Luby's!
I went to see Beth in Basalt last weekend. The fall colors were so BEAUTIFUL! These pictures were taken a few houses down from where Beth lives. I started my morning jogs here. The weather was perfect...crisp and cool! The second half of the trail took me along one of the best fly fishing rivers in the U.S. I forgot to go back and take pictures though. Just check out any magazine with pictures of a trail along a river shaded by a canopy of trees in fall colors, and that's pretty much what it looked like.
Snowmass...between Basalt and Aspen. I plan to be here this winter!
We had breakfast in Aspen and then took a stroll around town. I like to walk into the shops in Aspen and pretend to be very rich. We first visited Pitkin Country Dry Goods...a favorite of mine...and of my good friend, Jennifer Aniston. The first sweater I picked up was $700. Since one of the employees was watching me, I simply nodded at the price as if to let her know that I thought it was a good deal....and then proceeded to size it up by stretching the sweater against my chest and looking down over the top of the hanger at my new look . It wasn't quite what I was going for, so I put it back and continued my pretend shopping spree. After a few minutes, I left Pitkin County Dry Goods...and communicated to the employees through my convincing facial expressions that I would be spending my large fortune elsewhere.
We made a quick stop at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory where I enjoyed a chocolate covered pretzel. Adelaide chose an M&M covered marshmallow kabob. I don't think she ever ate the marshmallows. They simply served as a glue that held the M&M's to the stick. Beth would want me to tell you that Adelaide (almost 3) insisted on wearing Grace's (9) vest.
This past Friday night, a few of us celebrated the birthday of our friend Abraham at the Blue Star. I'm not sure why, but the conversation eventually centered around Angelina Jolie.

Where is the pic of you in your tiara? ;-)
Beautiful scenery! I wish my running route looked like that!
okay - we had dinner at Luby's tonight - what does that make us?? Well, the cashier did ask Robin if he was eligible for the Senior's discount :)
We leave on Saturday for a fly-fishing trip to Pacific Northwest - Seattle area. If we had known about this OTHER fly-fishing river you were jogging by - we may have changed our directions!
Love reading your hilarious blog! Write a book! I'll buy it!
Love you! Julie
