SHORT...BUT NOT SO SWEET POST!

I'm baaaack..............
and I feel like bawling!!!!
*
We rode this fun cog railway in Manitou Springs our first morning in beautiful Colorado
*
Here's my grandson Evan at the 14,110' summit of Pike's Peak...
*
And here I am....I got altitude sickness & couldn't even get off of the train....
*
We moved on to Coloradolady's cabin .... and from there went sightseeing in Breckenridge, Buena Vista, Fairplay/South Park & even went to Cripple Creek...but I was sick all of the time & even Mr. Bo had difficulties (he's on heart meds & blood thinner)...so, reluctantly we headed home Tuesday morning rather than Saturday as planned.
*
My biggest regret was not getting to meet with sweet Jeanne & Bill from
Backyard Neighbor as we had intended...sigh...maybe another time, another place. I think she was right that we shouldn't have gone to the Peak the first thing....and also, I had been fighting a respiratory thingy a couple of weeks prior to our trip...so...
*
And I'm also heartsick & sad about this....
*
Our beautiful new hardwood floors are buckling where the tape has a bend in it. The installer hung up on Mr. Bo when he called & said it wasn't anything his crew did.... we shall see how this drama plays out....
I'm still here but I may be scarce a bit longer....I'll try to come by to visit though...
