Colorado has been my
home at two different times in my life for a total of twenty-two years. In a
little over five weeks a moving truck will once again be at our door and I will move away from this place that I love.
I will miss the
beautiful mountains, the wildlife in our condo complex, and the many fun
activities including: the parades (Christmas, rodeo, and Veteran’s Day); the Pikes
Peak or Bust Rodeo; the street breakfast; the Seven Falls at Christmastime; walks
in the Garden of the Gods; the views of Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods
from our decks; trips to Estes Park, Breckinridge, and Grand Junction; shopping
in Denver; wonderful friends; and the cool, dry summers.
I have taken
hundreds of pictures during the past eight years. I share just a few here
(including Christmastime in our condo).
We will soon be in a new
home in Olathe, Kansas, and I will remember:
A
house is bricks and wooden beams,
A home is made of love and dreams.

I didn't know you sold your place. Good luck on your journey!
ReplyDeleteMeggy, it happened very quickly. We sold mid-March and made an offer on a place in Olathe the same week. Now we're covered up in boxes. I read the other day that the average number of boxes needed to move from a three-bedroom home is forty. I'm finally above average in something! : )
DeleteIt's not easy to move like that. At least hasn't been easy for us. Here's hoping your move and transition into life in the new location goes well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Secondary Roads. I know things will work out well, but as I get older the transitions seem to be harder.
DeleteBlessings as you move,
ReplyDeleteblessings where you stay.
Blessings for the two of you
all along life's way!
Vanilla, what a lovely poem. Thank you!
