Home Again

We arrived back to an empty house, after helping our son and his family move out of our home, to Colorado. We miss them.

A few haikus about our trip…

Adventure awaits
To Colorado they move
We will miss them so.
Our own caravan
Three vehicles together
All heading westward.
The view of the beautiful apartment complex where our son and family have settled.
Unload, unpack, rest
Moving is a lot of work
They are settled in.
Hiking in the park
The snow starts gently falling
Spring in the Rockies.
The spring/winter beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Three moose on the move
Catching a glimpse through the trees
Many elk and birds.
A few of the many elk we saw in the park, and in town.
Visiting good friends
Retired and moved away
Fun to reconnect.

The house is quiet
The children have moved away
It feels so empty.
An empty bedroom.
Our last day with the grandchildren before their move to CO.

  1. What a beautiful area of the U.S. they are moving to. I have friends
    in Colorado Springs I’m anxious to see again. I’m sure you have mixed feelings about their moving out and will really miss your two grandchildren. Great excuse for you two to visit them in Colorado!

  2. Oh I know the “empty house” feeling. Are they living in Fort Collins? That’s where we drove to four times a year for 15 years after our grandchildren moved there from our house. We could see Twin Sisters from their home and celebrated many birthdays along the river going up to Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s so beautiful there.

    1. O Lori, I can picture you there and along the river on the road to the park…a most beautiful drive!
      They did not move to Ft. Collins though – our friends did.
      TAZE moved to Superior, CO. It’s between Denver and Boulder…closer to Boulder.

  3. So, so thankful you had sweet days together before the big move happened. And, so thankful they are not nearly as far away as they once were! However, away is away. Praying for your hearts!
