Last night we stayed in Pueblo, Colorado at a KOA. If you are in the area and looking for a spot … this should be it. GPS will not get you there … unless an empty dirt field is what you are looking for.
Our last stop yesterday was closed when we got there, so we headed back there this morning. Co-pilot got patches, special issues and NO patch sleeves. Our second stop today took us to Colorado Springs, Colorado where there were patches, special issues and NO patch sleeves.
At this point it was breakfast time and nowhere else but good old Cracker Barrel. Good eats as always and since we were pretty sure this was the last one of the trip we picked up a few thing is the store. Chopper likes it where we stop here because we save out breakfast meat for him … he is not spoiled at all!
After breakfast we headed down the road to stop three … what, they moved! This trip has had a few stops that are not longer there. No worries we found it. Co-pilot got patches, no special issues and NO patch sleeves.
We made our way back to Golden, Colorado and are staying about a mile from where my cousin has his business. Steve (cousin) stopped by and visited for a bit. After his visit I did a little cleaning so we are not the “Rolling Shit House” as I like to call it when it gets messy. Todd (cousin) stopped by and visited for a bit then we met Jenny (Todd’s wife) for dinner at Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Good eats and some good company.
We all returned to the RV to visit and the co-pilot gave them the ten cent tour. Chopper for some reason really took to Todd … Chopper would not leave him alone. After about thirty minutes they left and the co-pilot was wiped out from today’s activates.
I think the co-pilot is taking it easy on me because he knows that I am pretty upset about the loss of Judy (Holley’s mom). Also I think I have become a little more appreciative of our time together. Yes the co-pilot and I both have our moments but this time together is building great memories. For me once he is no longer around or since life is unpredictable for him when I am not longer around.
I am sad for the loss of Judy and it hurts me to know what Holley is going through right now. If you are close to your mother, when you lose them it is quiet devastating. Nothing can mentally prepare you for the loss … expected or unexpected. Nothing is ever the same after that day … holidays are never the same … that seems to me when it hurts the worst.
