A New Day......a New Friend

Happy Birthday Mom!

We got moved to Woodland Park and I have spent much time sleeping.  I think I have my sleep patterns back but I'm still tired.  Ken is exhausted and showing it.  He sits in his chair and sleeps much like he did in 2008 when we first went full-timing.  However he is in better shape than he was then.  We are staying here two weeks for him to get ready to travel again and to settle the issue of Lucky's ashes.
We are thrilled that Lucky's oldest child Spencer wants to get acquainted with us all.  He is a fire fighter and has had a good life.  He does have a very pronounced accent so we go slow when talking.  We just want to be friends with him and not encroach on his family.  There's room for us all.

The last few months have the up and the down side.  Spencer is one of the up sides and having Mona back in our lives is another up.  Yes, I know there is a lot of baggage and lots of hurt feelings and even rage but can we not forgive if we can't forget?   There is justification on all sides - how is that really working for us?

We went to Garden of the Gods with D/D, niece Sherry/hubby Jimmy their three dogs, us and Wylie.  It was a great time in the mountains.  We want to go to Pikes Peak before we leave.  You can't come this far without going there, right? D/D did a great job of socializing Wylie.  Thanks for allowing him to visit.  I know it was a REAL hardship.  NOT! 

We will see MORE of this in EB! 

Sure glad that isn't me.

I heard Dave say "Suck it in" .  Is this gravity defied?
