You really did show some of the highlights of Fort Collins, and that is, without even venturing west of town to at least see the foothills. No need though as the town is truly a gem. Yes, we will for sure miss it and defiantly The Little Bird Bakeshop but be that as it may, when new doors open and others close, sometimes one just has to be brace and set ones face to new horizons. You are so right too about it growing and growing and not getting any cheaper for housing, etc. This new community we are in needs people like us so we are glad to be getting involved here too, whilst missing kids there in Colorado. <br />For anyone whop sees this later, meeting you and Bob was DEFINITELY the highlight of that fortnight before more travels, etc. I so loved meeting you and remember just how much I truly missed your company the next morning. It felt like we had been friends for ages...which, actually, we have, haven't we? Well, online at least and now in person and now I get to know Bob too who is such a compliment to you. What a good sport he is too. Please do say hello and please do come to KY and see us. When wee are se tup in our loft ....with furniture at some point, you can come and stay with us. There are definitely spots here that remind us of English country lanes, etc, except of course, the buildings are not the same etc. <br />Miss you and than you so much for visiting. It was a joy taking you around. I love your collages. In fact, I think I need to download them for whewvner needing a quick fix of the Choice city, as Foco is often called. :)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-92217074887935907532018-09-02T19:28:25.840-04:002018-09-02T19:28:25.840-04:00I'm so glad that you both were able to meet up...I'm so glad that you both were able to meet up with Michael after all the years keeping in touch online!

So happy you were able to meet Michael and tour a bit. It looks wonderful. It all makes me almost want to visit there. Since Jim was from that part of the country we use to go there often, but I am sure all has changed now.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-42728090577370881602018-08-31T23:32:36.638-04:002018-08-31T23:32:36.638-04:00It was lovely but a lot like Raleigh, growing too ...It was lovely but a lot like Raleigh, growing too big too fast!
