Honey, We're HOOOME!



At 4:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, I dialed Laurie's cell and when she answered I said, "Hi Honey - we're hoooome!!" We are back home in Colorado in a very nice campground with a view of the Rockies right out our back window - we moved here this morning after spending Saturday and Sunday night in a very overpriced, & poorly cared for campground. We'll be at this one for a few weeks, and then go to our summer campground where we will be Camp Hosts at a Colorado State Park. The best thing is, we're going to be here - in the state of CO - for a long, long time. And Scott, Vi, and Veronica are coming out for a 10 day visit in July. Am I beaming from ear to ear? YOU BET!
After we got set up on Saturday, we stopped at Pizza Hut and picked up some pizza, wings, and breadsticks and headed over to Laurie's. Stephen was at his Saturday night poker game, but we had a great time with Laurie and Kasey....in fact, Kasey spent the night with us on Saturday. Then yesterday, we drove around to find this campground and made the arrangements to move here this morning. Kasey was with us, so of course lunch at McDonald's was in order. Then we went to Laurie's and she invited us for dinner - chops on the grill, with wild rice and thick grain bread to go with it. Strawberry shortcake for dessert. Then we headed home to do get ready for this morning's move. Stephen had to work yesterday - we could hear the guns firing as we drove to our campground on the way home last night. One of these days we will see Stephen. Seven and a half years ago, when we first set eyes on Pikes Peak, we fell in love - with the state of CO. We always hoped we could live here someday - and here we are. Of course Western NY and our family and friends there are always very, very close to our hearts and our visits back there will happen too. After all, home is where the heart is, and our hearts just happen to be in two places.
That's ok, right?
God bless our troops and those who love them.
