It’s been so hot everywhere we’ve gone that a little rain was welcome this morning. In my opinion it wasn’t rain, just a few sprinkles here and there, I didn’t even need to shake it off when I came inside. But you know humans, a little rain and out come the windbreakers and rain coats. They have such short fur it really does seem necessary to me. All this worry about rain cancelled out the plans for fishing and bike riding today. It took all four of them sitting around this morning to decide what to do in the “rain.”
First they visited the number one thing to do in Twisp, the Cinnamon Twisp Bakery. Eight pastries and four coffees later, it was time to explore the town of Winthrop.
Driving to Winthrop with everyone telling Jim different directions, they almost missed the town. My Kathe remembered being here before and finally convinced him to drive over the bridge into the historic area of town. They spent the whole afternoon shopping in the various shops. Jim finally bought a new pair of hiking boots after years of shopping for the perfect pair. We shall see!
The town has a western theme and wooden sidewalks and many of the store fronts look like they are the original stores from 1924 when the town was established. The Kathies looked at all the kitchen gadgets and clothing, but the guys did a lot of bench warming.
Later, they finally found the ACE hardware store and purchased fishing licenses. Looks like the Taylor’s and Jim plan to catch our Friday dinner. My Kathe is taking no chances, going to the grocery store just in case. Looks like it’s bike riding tomorrow if the weather clears.
