In the Denver area where I live, there is tremendous growth for miles and miles in every direction. Where all these people come from and how they can afford these huge houses is beyond me. Wheat fields are now housing developments, pastures for cattle and horses are now highway on-ramps surrounded by big box stores. I yearn for the Colorado of my youth. If my husband's job afforded it, I think we'd be far more comfortable in the country or a small town. But, he's a teacher and a musician, and there aren't too many French horn playing jobs in small towns! :) Lanier,

I do hope there is a remnant of the England I am going to visit! He also must have foretold the future of our community! Thank you for introducing me to "Sir John". I agree with this poignant poem.
