Our first Sunday Morning in Fort Collins

It's Sunday morning, June 27th and we are sitting in a Panera's Coffee Shop checking
e-mail and sorting out some of our papers. Looks like this will be our new office for a bit. While here, Peter is looking for internet connection that we can
order for our new home.

We again stayed with Doug and Heidi last night at their home in Golden. Heidi worked late at a nature program. All of us were up early as Doug and Heidi were heading out on their 2 week journey to City of Rocks in Idaho. They left with their little car fully packed and not much room left over for Molly. Molly continues to struggle with her health issues but they are all managing. They will be camping and hiking for 9 days and then meeting up with Heidi's parents, Hank and Judy. Heidi does not get to see her parents often as they live in Washington state and travel can be difficult. Total travel (one way) will be about 650 miles so they will arrive late and there will be no phone service where they camp. Best to all of them on their travels.

We on the other hand are setting out to explore Fort Collins. We found a Church this morning where we attended Mass. Will probably be doing some Church shopping during this initial time.
After this stop at Panera's to catch up on some paperwork, we will head out to shop for a mattress. Our mattress is still in Milwaukee storage and will be used for our guest bedroom. Way too many choices for a mattress. And then we will have to look for furniture. Again, more decisions to make.

Last night we decided that it would be good for us to return to Milwaukee to pick up the remainder of our belongings. At this point it is our intention to fly into Milwaukee on July 8th, stay with our friends Paul & Maris for a couple of days, go to a couple of medical appointments, attend an art fair at Wisconsin Lutheran College on the 10th, pack up the truck and make a return trip to Fort Collins.
By not having to drag a car on a trailer, this trip should not be as difficult.
(We Hope!)
