    Safer @ Home Continues

    May 2, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    Wow! It's been two weeks since I last posted. When we were off gallivanting, I always complained about how fast time was flying by. It seems that life's pace is no different even when we are at home and doing nothing particularly exciting. I honestly have no idea where the days have been going.

    Colorado's Safer @ Home stage during the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Not much has changed in our lives as the state opens ... at a slower pace than some of the other states ... at a faster pace than yet others. We continue to social distance, going out in public for essentials such as grocery shopping. Our daily walks have kept us within our community But that is about to change.

    It all started when USAFA (Air Force Academy) announced over the weekend that the famcamp on the installation would be opening on May 11. First thing Monday morning, we made a reservation for later this month. Then, last night, the Governor of Colorado announced that the campgrounds at the state parks would be opening as well. Today, we made reservations at three of the campgrounds that are in reasonable proximity to us. These are all for short stays. You could say that we are dipping our toes back into the RVing world ... slowly ... before we start planning a longer trip.

    Except for that bit of exciting-to-us news, we continue to work on projects around the house. We had a few summer-like days before the weather chilled for a week or so. It's warming up again, and with the change, our itch to get out further afield is growing. Hope to do so for a nice long hike tomorrow ... 🤞🏻

    Stay safe ... stay healthy.
