Cabin Visit 2010 - Day 12

Today, we decided to make another short trip into Laramie. We needed cat food, wanted a supply of “special” bones for the dogs (for Christmas), I wanted a file to sharpen the chain saw, and we needed to make our annual trip to the West Laramie Fly Shop to buy a commemorative T-shirt. But, rather than go straight to town, we decided to take a long-cut over Sand Creek Pass down to the Laramie River Valley, up along the river to Woods Landing, then into Laramie. It was a nice drive, we got our shopping done quickly, and we headed home, arriving around noon. (Oh yeah, and we filled up with cheap gas.)

We had the 24-hour, 7-layer salad for lunch. Then, we spent the afternoon cleaning the cabin and Lynne prepared her wonderful porcini mushroom lasagna.

Dave and Sally came over and we took a hike “around” since they had never seen the parcel we are on in detail. After that we talked while dinner cooked. We have some shared experiences with expatriate assignments at Hewlett Packard, and there is never a shortage of conversation. Dinner was great as was the frozen pie Lynne made for dessert.

I think it was close to 10:00 before we headed for bed and then I read for an hour to finish the second book in a trilogy I am reading.

It is hard to believe we have only two more days here. There are a lot of chores I have not done yet, and now wonder if they will ever get done on this trip.
