Thursday we took off…The lives of the kids packed into a van, the wood hauler pick-up, and our pick-up and horse trailer…moving from one life to the next. It took us a little over three hours to reach their new home.
The house is perfect!
Fits all the requirements of a growing family.
Lucky, lucky us…Bladen and Linkin decided they were coming back to spend 9 or ten days with us! Linkin’s BFF rode up with Linkin so she got to come back and spend the night with us, also!
Terry’s sister and brother-in-law were also moving this same day. They were leaving Greeley, Colorado; heading on down to Prescott, Arizona. Arrangements were made to meet them in Grand Junction, Colorado as they (and Us) passed through.
The nice thing for them (and for all of us) is they had Terry’s Great Niece (their granddaughter) with them!
Cousins and a BFF! (They had a most delightful, giggly time!)
The next morning my brother and his wife arrived to spend two days with us!

Then yesterday we had a date with our son to go four-wheeling on the Uncompahgre Plateau up at Lee’s Reservoir. Every night we’ve gotten to bed at mid-night. (How can you stop enjoying family when you don’t get to see them very much?)
Today I must, MUST, get all of us organized and into some sort of routine.
But……………first we must have a little time for play, then second we will do chores…
Third we may take a nap…or Not!
Thanks for all your wonderful words of encouragement and care for us! (Me)
We are moving forward into this new way of being!
I appreciate your friendship,
Linda

What a great send off, actually partial send off because you get to take some family back home for a bit. So much fun.

I’m so glad they are within driving distance, even though it’s much further than you would like. I know you will keep in touch and still get to visit as often as possible.
