Monday the whatever – 16th???

The cold has turned into allergies – I sneeze and blow but it goes no further and is like the allergy attack I had when I first got to TX. Suzanne took me to her doctor for a meet and greet type appt and he mentioned that allergies are a tad more – um – evident when one first gets here. My only comment: NO KIDDING!

I’m on the list for the Marisol apartments unless I win the lottery and then I’ll opt for one of their duplexes. LOL They are very nice and you might find them online if you do some searching. I haven’t tried to locate the facility but if I find it, I’ll let you know.

Today I have another recurrence of the sneeze/blow action; we went for a nice Sunday ride as it was quite clear. Pike’s Peak is 100 miles away and could be seen in the distance as we wouth down I-25. That’s like the view driving north on I-5 or US 101 in CA when you can first spot Mt. Shasta. Doesn’t seem possible that it’s so big you can see it from so far away.Anyhow, the final place we went was a small lake where Suzanne and Paul used to live in Lafayette CO and where they would take their dogs for the walk. It was windy and rather cool and no telling what blew up into my face and nose.

These mountains are so lovely. They have a bit of snow will disappears before the day is over and then it might be right back the next day. And some spectacular sunsets. Paul says the sunrises are superb too but so far I’ve not yet been up early enough for that. LOL

From my understanding of it all, I seem to be moving to CO late spring whether or not a place is open at Mirasol. I wasn’t too sure of that until lately from a couple of things Suzanne has intimated. That’s OK — I’m ready for the move. It’s been really nice to be around Suzanne and Paul and since Paul is out of down Mon-Fri, flying back home Friday night (usually) and Suzanne has training in the evening, we get to spend the morning and early afternoon doing “stuff.”

Well ladies and Jerry, that seems to be the extent of the news. I’m reading Agatha Christie’s autobiography and also Roosevelt’s Secret War which I mentioned some few weeks ago. He apparently was a very secretive man when it came to his plans; it’s an interesting tale.

Take care, y’all,
Jo
