Rocky Mountain High
When we got in sight of the mountains, and I saw how clearly you could see trees (you can see every tree on the mountain ridge, even though it's about 20 miles away!), and I saw the familiar bluest-sky-you-ever-saw with the lovely poofy clouds you can see for miles and miles, I cried.
I have missed my Colorado.
It's not humid! I've been sitting on my parents' deck in the heat of the afternoon (the bank said it was 93 degrees today). Outdoors and haven't been dying of heat prostration, because the breeze moves and the heat dissipates so much more readily.
Aaaaah, summer. Aaaaah, Colorado. What a lovely combination.

Isn't it nice to be somplace where you feel like, "Ah. Home again?" The familiar. The nice. The comfy.
I've always found that this feeling doesn't come about a new place until you leave on a big trip and then come back home. And you catch yourself saying, "Home again... no, wait. I don't think I've said that about this place before. How odd!" But it's true. Do you think getting back to Chattavegas will be that way, or is it different because y'all went to school there?
