The first order of business on Saturday was another trip to our now second favourite supermarket King Sooper, to pick up a few little necessaries and check with the pharmacy that valium and gastroenteritis medicine can be taken together for the journey home. They can, which was a big relief to both of us, as I don’t think Stephanie wanted to have the circulation cut off in her hand for the whole 9 hour journey.
It had turned out to be yet another beautiful day – in fact I don’t think there had been any other kind of day since we had arrived. Having already seen the centre of Denver, and done the major sights a week ago, we decided to go somewhere new, somewhere we don’t have in England. Our trip out for the afternoon was to Sheplers Western Store. Fine apparel for the country gentlemen and gentlewoman (I made that up, it’s cowboy and cowgirl clothes).
Annie carry your gun…
It was a huge store, with a vast array of the type of colourfully decorated clothes we used to see at line dances. There were hundreds of pairs of incredibly decorated boots, stetsons and most unusually for us, purses (handbags) with labels which pointed out the special “concealed carry” pockets for hiding your gun.
After much deliberation I bought the most amazingly bling steel tipped black belt and a fabulous black shirt with colourful embroidery across the shoulders and down the back. As Stephanie pointed out, I now just need the boots to go with them…
