[LadyX]

Well, Mama_B, LadyX did not live in Colorado, but - -

- in South Dakota for one year, two states away

- passed through it, driving from Fairbanks, Alaska through Canada, down the Rockies, across the South and down to South Florida, before reporting to Myrtle Beach AFB, SC

- my son, Steve, lived there four years

Like its other Rockies neighbors, Wyoming and South Dakota and Montana, it is awesomely beautiful country!

We stopped at Ent AFB in Colorado Springs to visit a good friend from Alaska who was then stationed there.

My husband (in civilian clothes) stopped at Security Headquarters to inquire how to contact Bob, and the sergeant at the desk snapped to full attention and *sirred* him all over the place!
Swiftly contacted Bob on base and had him come to where we were.

We took Bob out to dinner, and Bernie described his unusual welcome to him.
Bob laughed really hard, said he would be treated with more respect now, and related that Bernie looked just like their Commanding General..:))

Colorado is truly beautiul.

It sure is! The only thing I can see that Colorado doesn't have is ocean, but the mountains almost make up for that.

I would love to vacation there someday. I especially would like to see the cliff dweller ruins. I've always been fascinated by that kind of thing.

LOL. That's funny. If in doubt, salute it. ;-)

Have a good day Lady Maggie.
