My sister and I returned last night about 11:00 pm. The drive home took us about 15 and half hours due to lots and lots of road construction and some nasty weather. We encountered rain/snow mix just south of Colorado Springs until we reached home. It actually got pretty intense for awhile. A major stretch between Colorado Springs and Denver was driven in the dark with rain/snow and slush. Probably had an inch of snow when we arrived. The image above is what we were driving into and was taken just south of Colorado Springs on I-25.
My sister, Sheree, and I feel we got done what we needed in helping my parents make this move. Her and I came home with some stuff, some of it is pure treasure. Good things happened yesterday as we made our way home. My parents home went on the market yesterday afternoon. They also found out yesterday their move in date will most likely be on May 19th. My sister, Marcee and her husband John, will be involved in making that final move happen. They will be living about 2 miles from my parents. So it is all working out nicely.

Sometimes the long and difficult drive at the end of a journey only emphasizes the positive results of the effort. It’s good to hear that things went well with the packing and organizing. Hopefully the real estate market for your parents’ place mirrors that which we’ve been seeing elsewhere and the house moves quickly.
It sure has been weird weather lately – the only rain we saw on our recent trip (until we got to Tennessee!) was in Tucson of all places. Snow in Colorado in May? Go figure!
Glad to hear you are back home safely. 🙂

Everything has fallen in place for them. We sure did not expect the amount of snow while driving home but nothing us Colorado folks can’t handle. It was good to be home after a long day on the road.
