Plans Change But Oh My God…

…we went to one of my favorite places in the whole world.

Fishing didn’t happen. Fishing happening tomorrow. I had the migraine headache from hell and at 5:30 this morning, I was a puddle of pitiful woe. But I got better… thanks to fistfuls of Advil and lots of EmergenC. I think I didn’t hydrate enough yesterday. Am not making that mistake again.

By noon, Mr. Al and I were heading south to Leadville and then over the Independance Pass into Aspen.

I saw the original Star Wars in Aspen on a day off from work. That’s how long it was since I’d been there.

Drove through Aspen and headed to, yes, one of my favorite places in the whole world. And now it’s Mr. Al’s too. We picnicked there and wanted to stay there forever. But it’s frowned upon. Last time I was there, it was free. Now it costs $10.00 and in the high season, you have to take a bus.

Here’s the picture. See? Beautiful!

Later, peeps….another early day tomorrow. Fingers crossed I’m hydrated enough. Don’t you hate that? Being thwarted? But plans change and they’re usually for the better if you keep being positive.
