Oh, no! Lee, we are most grateful that you were not injured, though something like that can sure make you tense and overwhelmed! Please take care of yourself... can't imagine that there is a thing we can do to help from here, but surly will if you think of something. You can bet I will raise a glass of cranberry juice to you, since I can't bring it to you. And, will keep good thoughts! Take care, and good luck with all you need to do to get back on track. Hugs! Dianne & Tom

OK Jeff... thanks for letting me know about my site error on the map list... I have changed our location to read, "Horse Pasture." Much better, though we do occasionally witness the previous Nell is having a ball chasing rabbits, and it is great that she can be off leash and free out here in the country.

Oh, so sorry to hear about the lost key! That was some costly replacement! Yes, again, it was great to be with everyone gathered in Denver. Hope the "strange" campers stay away from your site! Enjoy this time with your daughters... best wishes to all! Dianne & Tom

Hello all... we are now in Alamosa, CO where we will spend a couple of weeks. Will get to meet the newest grandchild, born in January and named after Tom We had a great time with all gathered at Cherry Creek... our own little mini-Q-reunion. Now, everyone heads in different directions and we keep good thoughts for everyone with their different activities and events! If I can ever figure out how to resize a photo from Saturday, I will post it. Sure enjoyed time with Tina, Jeff, Lynn, Roger, Julie and Mike! (And, Lynn and Roger's daughter, too). Do you guys feel abandoned? We all went off and left you at Cherry Creek today Lee - keeping good thoughts for you with the banking stuff. And, there will be plenty of Cranberry Juice for you when we are next together, to be sure!!! It's asparagus season here in the San Luis Valley, and we plan to pick lots of the wild stuff and fill our freezers! Nancy and Dave will join us here next week... oh, what fun we will have trapsing around filling our bags with this seasonal treat. And, as promised, we will be sure to bring you some, Delcie and Freddy, provided the asparagus gods are smiling on us! Take care, everyone! Enjoy the ride!

Hang in there, Lee. The sun is shining again in Colorado for a second day after our winter weather! We are most grateful, and hope it will come your way. Having a gathering here tomorrow... Tina & Jeff, Lynn & Roger, Julie & Mike, and us. Will be good to reconnect with everyone, and you can bet we will talk about YOU! Maybe we can get a group photo Take care, Dianne & Tom

I'll try to do better in the future. Don't want to get my mouth washed out with soap!

Oh, you do make me chuckle, Lee Actually, I made a mistake, though... I don't even like beer, so here's another 4-letter one that better suits me. WINE! Yeah, that's better! Stay safe! Hugs, D.

Ok Lee... here is a little diddy for you from us here in COLO with 4-letter words to describe our situation... Today our RAIN turned to SNOW! It is COLD, and the WIND BLEW! So much SLOP, and I had to wear a COAT… being careful not to SLIP and FALL. BURR! Might be a good time to stay HOME and drink BEER. Oh, are we bored or what? We will welcome the return of sunshine!!!!!

Doesn't it feel great to check those projects off the list... glad you got the jeep in good shape again. Took a nice photo of your place accross the road with all the snow. Have a good day... the sun will be back out soon! Dianne & Tom

Right, what's with all the snow everywhere we go? Isn't this supposed to be spring? Oh, yeah... springtime in the Rockies. : ) But, the moisture is so good for Colorado, and this storm will pass quickly and your site will be clear! Tina and Jeff are across the road from us... no campfire today! See you tomorrow... roads should be clear for you. Dianne & Tom Tom & Dianne, saw your picture on FB...Crikey, it snows everywhere you guys go...leary of hooking up with ya! Kidding aside, could you please shovel out our campsite before we arrive tomorrow? Are Tina & Jeff still at Cherry Creek? Roger & Lynn

And, we are so happy to be Tina & Jeff's neighbors until Thursday. Then moving to another site that didn't have a reservation on it... will be closer to Lynn & Roger when they get here. So great to see Tina & Jeff... wow! It's been 3 months since Quartzsite! Enjoyed a good catching-up visit... so nice to see them again... will fit in lots of visits while here! Who else will join us all here at Cherry Creek State Park??? Dianne & Tom

Lee,if you come to us, I will promise to have ice cream waiting Actually, know you must head on east... maybe sometime this summer! Hang in there with the weather changes. We sure are enjoying the blue sky and warm sunshine after so much cold and snow. Take care of yourself! [Wquote name=IYQ" post="617431" timestamp="1367079989]Hey. DIANNE & TOM. Get an Ice Cream machine and I mighr show up at Cherry Creak. LOL After freezing my posterior, the forcast for today is 94 degrees Man, I don't think this old bod can keep up to those changes. There was a very spectacular pass of the International Space Station last night. I invited a neighbor over to watch it. It was the first time he had seen it. He was very impressed, so I showed him how to use "Heavens Above" so he can get the predictions him self. The pass last night was at magnitude -3.4 which is very bright and it went straight over the center.

Hey Glyn... though we would love to have you and Diane join us at Cherry Creek for a day or so, we certainly understand time with kids and best routes chosen. If things change and you might come our way, that would be great so just give a call! Otherwise, we will look forward to seeing you both down the road. Have a great summer! Hugs, D & T

Glyn & Diane... liked your post, "I walk out the door turn around an I see home. For me that is nice. Same home different yard that doesn't need mowing." Yeah, we kind of think that way and feel blessed every day to be always "at home." Life as fulltimers is great... no packing up and unpacking. Will we be seeing you at Cherry Creek or somewhere as you head to your summer job? We are at the Northglenn, CO Elk's Lodge for a few day, and then down to Cherry Creek on Sunday. Travel safe!

Good to have a telephone chat with you yesterday, Jeff. Did you get more snow there overnight? We woke to another two inches! Enough! Hoping the sun returns soon, and the weather is to be as great in the week ahead as forecasted!!! Thinking we will arrive at Cherry Creek on Sunday... will keep you posted, and look forward to seeing you and Tina soon!

Good job! We have added Overton to our "places to check out" list, and will note that. Hugs to you both!

Hang in there, Lee... summer's coming! Be safe!

So sorry to hear that you will be dealing with wind... what a crazy spring for everyone. Talked with Jeff yesterday via phone, and they are having snow at Cherry Creek, as are we here in Ft. Collins. We had two more inches of snow overnight! After today, it is to be beautiful... here's hoping! Travel safely, Freddy & Delcie, and here's to a great summer! Will be seeing you there in about a month! Safe travels to everyone out there on the road!

What a difference a day makes! We have survived the "Yogi Blizzard of 2013" here in Wyoming... the sun came out, the hundreds of semi trucks stranded at the truck stop next door got to leave, snow is melting, and the wind is not blowing so we got to put our slides out again after five days... yippee! I think we will make it! Talk about an adventure... 18 inches of snow, incredible winds, very cold overnight temps, and many lessons (Tom has an "oops" story to share around the campfire . One thing we are pretty sure of... as much as we love our children, we will NOT come this far north ever again in April! But, beyond this bit of weather-related inconveniences, we are well and happy... life on the road is good. We will be leaving Cheyenne on Sunday and heading to Ft. Collins and then on to Denver. Lee - We have been getting a kick out of your posts. Hope you get to get on with your travels soon. And, we must learn about this ice cream machine you all keep talking about Steve and Carol - though we don't [yet] know you... happy anniversary. People keep telling us we will really enjoy getting to know you both, so we look forward to that one day. Actually, lots of names we see on the forum that it will be fun to put faces to and get to know in the future. Tina & Jeff, Lynn & Roger, Diane & Glyn... safe travels as you move towards Cherry Creek. We look forward to seeing you all there! Julie and Mike, too, if that works with your schedules. Hope the eye surgery goes well for you, Mike. To those we will be seeing in So. Colorado this summer... summer really IS coming and we will have a blast! Everyone else... be well and stay safe! See you all down the road! Dianne & Tom

Yep... crikey is right! Keep that slide in, Roger. We have had to do that a lot lately! We are 15 miles east of Cheyenne, parked in our daughter's yard last night, and woke to lots of snow this morning! OK... we can hear you all laughing and saying, "what the heck were those two doing heading up north this early in the season." And, your choice of words might not be too kind... just lots of laughing and snickering The kind of stuff to be batted around the campfire at a later date But, we got moved to a nearby rv park early this morning and now have electricity. We are well, and will just wait this out and enjoy visits with our daughter and son-in-law while here. So, we are safe, and wish the same for all of you out there. Look forward to seeing those of you at Cherry Creek later this month and next, and others down the road. Best wishes. Be safe, everyone! D & T

I posted a reply to Pa and D on the Class of 2008-09 forum earlier today, and thought I'd paste here to the Classless Class, also. We are 12ers, but Tom and I loved being "adopted" and made welcome by all! It seems Cherry Creek State Park will be the gathering place for many of us in April/May... what fun. We are currently in Cheyenne, WY (actually in Sidney, NE for the weekend), and will be in the Cheyenne - Ft. Collins, CO area for some time. And, yes, Jeff, it is way too early to be this far north, but we are managing... having good visits with our kids, so that makes it worth while. We are flexible with our schedule and would love to connect with many of you at Cherry Creek... thinking we might come there around the 25th of April and stay two weeks so our timings can overlap with others. So, join in Diane and Glyn... seems that Jeff and Tina will already be there, maybe Julie and Mike will come after their trip to the east? And, Roger and Lynn coming around May 2nd? Really looking forward to time with you all... keep us posted, please, everyone. Safe travels to all!

Really looking forward to time with you all... keep us posted, please, everyone. Safe travels to all!

Had a great visit today with Delcie and Freddy! Spent five hours sharing stories and having some good laughs... thanks to you both for a really good time together! We look forward to many more visits in Colorado this summer... travel safely! Dianne & Tom

Take care, Lee! We look forward to seeing you again soon... maybe up in Colorado? Too many fun things to do to be sick... get well soon! We will keep good thoughts for you!

Was great fun to be with Lee last night, plus a little visit again this morning, and more hugs, before heading to City of Rocks. Like the rocks and scenery here... will be a good place to hang out for a few days before moving on to Roswell. And, Lee... you did not talk too much! (Though, the stories about folks will give us good ammunition for another time Fun to meet friends along the way as we travel!
