Our plan all along was to spend July at my Mom&#8217;s house in Indialantic, FL, August in Siesta Key, and part of September in Greeley, CO with Deb&#8217;s parents. Her Mom has a very aggressive form of cancer and unfortunately it is progressing more rapidly than we had hoped. &nbsp;We&#8217;ve done quite a bit of FaceTime with them, which is great of course but doesn&#8217;t match being there. &nbsp;So we are returning to CO a week earlier than planned to offer moral support and four extra hands around the house. &nbsp;We will also be bringing cuddles from the furry grandchildren Kirby and Maxwell. &nbsp;We&#8217;re now planning to stay there in September, and then we&#8217;ll have to see beyond that.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kneedeepinit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FL2CO-1024x560.png\" alt=\"Map of the USA, showing our route from Florida to Colorado\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"560\" width=\"1024\">\n\t\tOn the Road Again &#8211; doing it in 3 days this time.\n\t<p>This is already pushing Deb&#8217;s Dad to his limit, and it&#8217;s going to do the same for us in many ways.&nbsp;Having lost my Dad last fall, this isn&#8217;t going to be easy on any of us.&nbsp;We know at our age many people are dealing with parents&#8217; health issues and we feel for you all &#8211; it&#8217;s rough.
