My granddaughter Caitlyn and her husband Troy, who serves in the US Army, were kind enough to get transferred from Lacey, Washington, to Colorado Springs recently so that made it much easier for us to get up there to see our great-grandkids Lane and Charlene (and Caitlyn and Troy, of course). It would be a quick visit since we had reservations for the RV park

in Breckenridge the following day but we got to see their house on the base at Fort Carson and Lane (age 3) gave us the grand tour of every room and closet in the place! One of the highlights for me was when Charlene first saw me she immediately reached out her arms for me to take her and I was more than happy to oblige. Lane took to Karen real quick and even let her put his shoes on him so we could all go out to eat at Ramano’s Macaroni Grill.

It was a great visit but way too short. Since our summer plans are pretty open-ended, we may just have to come back this way and stay longer!
