The rest of our visit in the big city included visiting with friends and shopping. We were glad to find a place to buy decent shoes. The shoes stores in Grand Junction tend to carry fashionable shoes but not much in the practical/comfortable category. Between the two of us we spent $200, but our feet will be much happier.
For New Year's Eve, we had a bluegrass jam/party at our house. It was the first time we have had more than just a couple of people in the house. Susie went overboard on the food but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
