His morning Hope and I went to the Bayfield and Durango farmers' market to pick up some fresh veggies and cheese and we had a wonderful time perusing the goods and coveting all of the fresh herbs. I guess I forgot just how many middle aged hippies live in Durango. I have never seen more tie-dye, floppy hats, raggedy tshirts, or leather sandals in one place before! It is truly amazing. Hope and I both got some ginger lemonade which was so so good. I will have to try and figure out how to make it so next time I see yall you can try it. The folks at the stand made it fresh right there and so that was a fun treat. We then headed over to Olde Timers for a light lunch of veggie sandwiches and soup. I swear Hope knows everyone in town! After lunch, we went to visit Hope's agoraphobic friend Francis who is truly a unique and friendly person. She enjoys buying perfume from QVC and her table must have had about thirty different bottles in various states of use. Needless to say her house smelled good. She has the fattest tortoise shell cat named Lila Loise who somehow managed to jump her rather large self onto the top of the tallest record player I have ever seen. Francis loves to talk and talk and talk and would make a wonderful subject of some psychological study. I hope to be able to go back and visit her again sometime.
I took another walk down (and up and down and up) to the lake this afternoon but it was a little too warm for much enjoyment; early mornings really are the best time to go I guess. Hope and I ate popcorn that I made for dinner and we just got finished watching the Cowboys/Chargers game. Well, I really must get to bed.
Much love to all.
