I am a very easy going person who loves to partake in leisure activity. I am a dog owner who loves spending time with all animals. Furthermore, I consider my self a coffee connoisseur and love trying new ways to brew. I also enjoy going outside to run, hike, and camp.
Speaker 2
I have five grandchildren. My new favorite food is mediterranean food. I love all the older bands like styx and journey. I love being at the beach. My favorite season is fall.
Speaker 1
I hike. I have a dog. I like to spend time with animals. I like most outdoor activities. I think fall is a wonderful time of year. I think the leaves are amazing in the fall. I like all types of food. I am picky on what coffee I drink.
Speaker 2
I'm thinking of going to the beach today. I have five grandchildren and they love dogs. I love music. I listen to Journey and Styx. I also like being outside but mostly during the fall. I love Mediterranean food. I mostly eat out at restaurants.
Speaker 1

Speaker 2
Great, how about you? Thinking about heading to the beach today.
Speaker 1
Oh that sounds fun! I just got back from a hike with my dog, chip.
Speaker 2
Nice, my five grandchildren love dogs.
Speaker 1
Five grandkids, jeez that must be crazy on the holidays. Any hobbies?
Speaker 2
I love music, I mostly listen to journey and styx. What about you?
Speaker 1
Spending time with animals and most outdoor activities, I love just being out in nature.
Speaker 2
Same, but I mostly like being outside in the fall.
Speaker 1
Fall is a wonderful time of the year, the leaves look amazing then!
Speaker 2
I agree. What is your favorite type of food?
Speaker 1
I love any type of food! I am only picky on what coffee I drink. You?
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
I just got back from the vet, my dog needed his annual vaccine shots.
Speaker 2
Oh poor baby. I hope it didn't take to much out of him. I know they need their shots so they can stay healthy but I always feel bad afterwards. 
Speaker 1
Yes i feel bad afterwards too, but at least I know he will be healthy.  I never feel like I am doing enough for him though with all the new foods and toys out there.
Speaker 2
I'm sure you're a good dog parent. My grandkids would love it if I would adopt a dog but we are not ready for that yet. We are planning on going to the beach this afternoon as the weather is so nice.
Speaker 1
That sounds fun.  What beach do you go to?
Speaker 2
Coronado beach is one of my favorites. Have you ever been?
Speaker 1
No, Ive never been to Coronado beach.  I like the beaches along the gulf coast.  Do you enjoy frolicking in the ocean?
Speaker 2
I do but mostly I enjoy just being outside. I especially like the fall season when the trees and bushes start to change color. The weather is much nicer in the fall as well.
Speaker 1
Yes, the fall is my favorite season by far.  I love the mild temperatures and the changing colors in nature.
Speaker 2
What sort of outdoor activities do you like?
Speaker 1
I enjoy watching baseball games, fishing, and hiking.  I just recently went camping for the first time however I am not sure if its something I will do again in the future.
Speaker 2
Ha ... camping is one of the things that you either love or hate. I personally like camping and try to do it as much as possible. I also like to fish and hike. Do you have a favorite spot for hiking?

Speaker 1
Have you gone camping recently? 
Speaker 2
Not recently but we are planning to go back to Coronado beach next month. I can't wait. It is one of my favorite places and the grandkids like it too. What about you? Have you been camping or hiking lately?
Speaker 1
Yes, I just went a couple weeks ago.  It was so relaxing.  I’ll have to look into going to Coronado beach sometime. What is your favorite thing to do when camping?.
Speaker 2
I mostly just like being outdoors. I love the scenery and the clean air. 
Speaker 1
The scenery is the best, especially in the fall when the leaves change.  Do your grand kids like to roast marshmallows over the fire?  
Speaker 2
Oh absolutely. That's one of their fun things to do when camping. Yes I agree, the changing leaves and cooler temperatures make fall the best time to camp and hike. Do you take your dog with you when you hike?
Speaker 1
Yeah he loves going on hikes.
Speaker 2
We used to have a dog and I know the grandkids would love it if we got another one but I'm not sure if I'm ready. 
Speaker 1
Dogs are a ton of work so you definitely need to make sure your ready for one again.  But they do make the companions.  If you were to get one, what kind would you get?
Speaker 2
I would go to the rescue and see what they had. I would prefer a medium to small dog though. What kind of dog do you have?
Speaker 1
I have a chocolate lab who thinks he’s a small dog and always wants to lay on my lap.
Speaker 2
Ha, that's so cute. I bet he's sweet. Have you been to any good restaurants lately? We eat out often so I'm always looking for something new to try.

Speaker 1
I've decided to go to Colorado on a hike.
Speaker 2
That sounds lovely! Will you be going with anybody else and do you think you'll try camping again?
Speaker 1
I'm going alone this time. yes, I'll probably take my tent and find a nice campground in the woods. have you ever been hiking in Colorado?
Speaker 2
I have not been hiking there but I've seen pictures and it looks gorgeous. I'd love to visit in the fall sometime, maybe next year. Where in Colorado will you be and will you take your Labrador with you?
Speaker 1
You really should try it. Pictures don't do it justice since they can't convey how consistently nice the weather usually is. even when it's hot, it's usually dry, so pretty comfortable and cool in the shade. I'll probably head north of Denver towards the Ft. Collins area. I haven't decided if i should bring my dog because i'm sure she'd like the forest, but not so sure she'd like the long car ride.  
Speaker 2
Well it sounds really great. Be safe and have an amazing time! I've been thinking by the way that I might finally get a dog, given how much my grandkids love them. Any dog breed you'd recommend? Labradors, obviously, haha, but any others?
Speaker 1
Thanks, I'll keep you posted on my plans. That's fantastic, i think you should! There's a lot to love about Labradors, but Retrievers are also great. If you can handle a higher maintenance breed, Jack Russell Terriers are full of life and personality.
Speaker 2
Hm, I think I'll take a lower maintenance breed these days probably. Ah, I've heard that Retrievers can be great companions too. I'll look into both breeds and keep you posted. Which reminds me -- I went to a coffee shop that was dog-friendly the other day. Very high-end coffee and cold brews, etc. I bet you'd love it. 
Speaker 1
understandable, Jack Russel's can also be a bit more aggressive, but all three breeds are pretty great with kids! That sounds like a great coffee shop indeed. wouldn't mind meeting a new friend over some fresh roasted Colombian, while me dog meets a new friend too!
Speaker 2
Yes, I'll definitely be back once we have our new member of the family! I think I had some Colombian coffee while I was there -- It was strong but delicious. I was torn between that and a French roast. Do you have a favorite kind of coffee bean?
Speaker 1
That's exciting, do keep me posted if you decide on a breed! Honestly my tastes in coffee tend to change a lot. I like to experiment. Lately I've even been using my French press to steep loose leaf, Earl Grey tea, which is just lovely.
Speaker 2
Very interesting -- Yes, I had a big tea kick several years ago and thought Earl Grey could just about compete with my morning coffee. Almost, but not quite, so I'm back with my two cups in the morning. I have been experimenting with some herbal teas later in the day since I like to sip something warm but the caffeine will keep me awake. Do you also drink herbal teas?

Speaker 1
Did you end up going to the beach or did you stay home on talk on the phone with your grandchildren?
Speaker 2
I actually went on a walk to the beach and called my grandchildren there! It's so nice getting to spend time outside, especially in this weather. You must know, since you love to hike!
Speaker 1
It is passingly mild for this time of the year. It was only 80 degrees today, and it being nearly August! Do you collect shells when you walk on the beach?
Speaker 2
I used to love doing that, but I have to admit its gotten harder as I've gotten older. All that bending up and down is hard n my back!
Speaker 1
Hm - I thought you had had a more athletic background. You know, I've been so sedentary my whole life that pains in the back are common - and in the knees, and the hips, and on and on. Camping and fishing is nice, but they don't help strengthen your body
Speaker 2
Really? I thought you said you hike and do lots of outdoor activities. Anyway, even though I've been athletic my whole life, its still harder as you get older. You should expect it when you get to my age.
Speaker 1
Yea, but that's not the same thing as my siblings who ran for years and years. You know, I disliked them for their athleticism. I ran with them one year - one year almost to the day. Dumbest thing. We weren't going anywhere and, unlike hiking where you can stop and enjoy the surroundings, you just try to zoom past evertyhigng.
Speaker 2
That's true... but I guess you get different benefits out of both of them. In hiking, there's beautiful scenery you can absorb. But I think with running, you can feel an almost euphoric high from all those endorphins, so its probably worth it.
Speaker 1
Endorphins - ha! If I wanted to get high off some chemicals, I have better ways of going about it than pounding away at the pavement at 7am on a Saturday morning. You know what you should be doing? Sleeping.
Speaker 2
That's a weird attitude about endorphins! Maybe if you ever experienced them, you'd realize its way better than sleeping... and maybe then you wouldn't be experiencing so much body pain right now!
Speaker 1
I'm getting old. I'm supposed to experience pain! The reason I bring it up with you is because you were so healthy and here we are, in the same boat. Maybe there's something to be said for a hedonist lifestyle. 
Speaker 2
I actually thought you were way more active than me, to be honest. Anyway, I still feel pretty vigorous for a lady with 5 grand children. I mean, I still go on long walks for fun every day!
