All packing, cleaning and sorting done within 3 days, J the RV dealer came to see trailer and deal agreed, we took the trailer to Jays and said goodbye to it!. J also agreed to buy the Dodge, he is going to use it in his business. We are so very lucky to have met this great guy, who unlike many businessmen does not rip you off, he has been more like a friend.
We moved the 4 cases and rucksacks into the Lodge room where we spent the night, J drove us to Pueblo on Wednesday, there was very little signs of snow, he is an exceptional man, we talked about everything on the way, enjoyed a great American breakfast and he generously paid for our hire car for the day.
We are now in the Days Inn for the night, ready to fly in the morning. Should anything untoward happen between now and then I will edit this blog. All flights on time and into Manchester early, just a slow train to York but we are now safely home, unpacked and very happy and blessed.

OOPS NEARLY FORGOT - 10 MICE VISITED!
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my blog! My final words have to go to the people who made it possible for us to spend the last 8 years travelling over here - John and Angie for so generously letting us stay with them when we came home, Amanda for taking special care of our rental home and finally my wonderful, caring, thoughtful, patient, special husband Roy, who without his dreams none of this would have been possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart guys!
