Friday we slept longer than planned so we decided to return to Fort Collins (it's only ten miles away) and go to the quilt shop we found closed yesterday and check into the other thrift stores in town.  At the quilt shop I got about a dozen pieces of original prints I'd never seen anywhere else.  I had good luck at the 4-5 thrift stores, too.  We received an e-mail from Australia; they're enjoying their trip once they got past the jetlag.  Saturday we'd planned on staying in and doing laundry.  It was a beautiful day to hang my jeans outside to dry in the sun and breeze.  Saturday evening Leofwyna had plans for trick or treaters complete with black cape, wig and crown.  She had 29 visitors.  Sunday we went out to visit the prairie dogs then Leofwyna did brunekatefla and salmon patties for supper.  Monday we're off to Denver for two days and had a great lot of luck with beautiful weather and at the thrift stores.  I found a 301A Singer sewing machine for only $25 with a 25% discount!  Leofwyna had made a reservation at Comfort Suites and we had a great room with comfy beds and a huge street light outside our window and NO DRAPES!  Back in Loveland Tuesday night and we unloaded bags and bags of our treasures and started sorting them.  I ran out of steam and headed to bed early.  Wednesday we slept late and stayed in and purely loafed.  The weather has finally turned grey and dreary.  Thursday we stayed in and did a jigsaw but in the evening we went to a movie, The Martian.  What a great movie that is.  I want to go see it on a big screen again before it moves out!  Friday we went to Longmont for lunch at a place Leofwyna knows; it was closed so we went to Panda Express instead.  Then we went to five or so thrift stores.  At one of them I found several soft knit garments in my size and bought half a dozen pieces at about $5 each including a turquoise cardigan, black pants, two white short pants, and a black jumpsuit.  It's been a great week here in Colorado!
