Aw, Beth, this is a lovely continuation to your story. You had a wonderful vacation in Colorado, which you described so very well. I've always wanted to visit Colorado, a state I've not yet been to. This chapter was a joy to read. Ulla:)))

    Thank ;you so much for the lovely review and comment and the six stars. I am honored. If you get a chance, you should visit Colorado, particularly Estes park. There are many beautiful places to visit but back then I hadn't seen that many of them and I was quite excited about that place.

I enjoyed your vacation to Colorado. Sounds wonderful.

I don't know if this is a typo or not. "You and I were both blown away with the beauty of the countryside as we dove (drove) into Estes Park, Colorado."

    Thank you so much for the review and lovely comment. Colorado is a truly beautiful place. I've been to Switzerland but the Colorado mountains are higher and scenery around Estes Park is gorgeous. That was definitely a mistake. I meant to say drove. Thanks for noticing.

That did sound like a fun vacation. The mountains are always a good choice for a vacation. It was probably a new experience for all of you. Well done, Beth. Nancy:)xxx

    Thank you Nancy. I appreciate your review and for noticing the incomplete word. This was our second trip to Colorado. If you were reading then, that trip was with my Mom along and we were in a truck with the older children. We had some really scary experiences on that trip. It was the first time we'd been to Estes Park.

Another charming and touching episode. Quite a happy contrast to the prior year's vacation in hell! Cheers. LIZ

    Thank for the great review and for catching my spags. Unorganized seems to work best for me. I hard to get along with when I make plans and they a wrong. This vacation worked unbelievably well.
    Maybe we were just in the zone.

I am out of six this time but I must say you and the family seemed happy and you had a good man who was intelligent and loved his family.
I am enjoying your write as it sometimes brings pleasant thoughts about my family and the things we did as well.
My blessings to you Beth.

I think you've done a great job with this. The story is interesting and enjoyable. My suggestion for improvement would be to add dialogue to bring this to life more. But overall, fantastic.

    Thank you so much for reviewing this and I do appreciate your comments and suggestion. Some of the chapters do have a lot more dialogue. It not real easy to put it in when the whole thing is done as me talking to my husband, but I add it when it doesn't seem too weird to do so.

Did you make it to the Grand Canyon? I've never been. I wondered if it was cool if you used the song title Rocky Mountain High. I guess if no one says anything it's cool. Thank you for sharing. Very nice job. Stay safe and stay healthy.

    Thank you Earl, I appreciate you stopping by. I might add it. I think it would be cool. My daughter was a big John Denver fan at the time. I've still not made it to the Grand Canyon. I remains on my Bucket List.
