MANCOS, COLORADO!

And here's the e-mail I got in response to my thank you reply from Representative Mark Larsen who helped me get my new home:

Hey Monica,

You made my week too! I once had a very good friend who helped me in a big way. When I asked him what I could do to repay him for his kindness he stated, "Nothing. Just do something for someone else sometime." Well, I have lived my whole life that way. So all I ask is that you do something for someone else sometime. It definitely makes life worth living!

God speed and enjoy the apartment. Maybe I'll see you at Mancos Days or something!

Mark

Is that man cool or what? And he's an effing REPUBLICAN! I told him I'd vote for him for Senator or Govenor, but he's getting out of politics. Too bad! More pics! I am sooooo happy!

Congratulations. Don't forget to pack your logging chain.

Yeah, sex toys could be difficult to locate in such a rural area.

Congrats, Mari! Sounds like the world is starting to spin your way a bit more here lately. If I run away from home, I'll be sure and stop in and trash the new place for you (reference Belushi in "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave" on SNL).

Patrick, you know I've had a crush on you forever and you're welcome to run away to my home anytime you want!

Mari --- congrats!!! Hey I'm glad you have realized that all republicans are not bad. Many of us have open minds and hearts. Unfortunately, my quest for relocation is not faring as well.

I'll tell you what, Mr. Larsen is one of the few politicians I have encountered of any flavor who actually seems to be a responsible human being. I don't care what he calls himself. If he ever again runs for office, I'll not only vote for him, this democrat will actively help campaign for him! I've discussed any number of issues with him since we first started an e-mail correspondence when I sent the entire Colorado State Legislature a most uncomplimentary e-mail. Mr. Larsen responded at once (unlike the rest, most of whom never replied at all), and gave me his analysis of the issues and what he had been doing to try to change things. And he wrote personally - not some stupid canned reply. The people of his district adore him, and so do I. I really, really hope he'll get back into politics after he takes his break from the legislature for a while.

I do wish you well with your relocation efforts, Mrs. P., and I hope it doesn't take you as long as it has me. I've been struggling for a full year to get out of this place that I should never ever have come back to.

My best advise is to perservere. Never give up. Not ever. You'll obtain your goal. It may not happen as fast as you'd like, but it WILL happen. I even painted the La Plata Mountains in water colors on my front window, so that every time I looked out I was reminded again of where I needed to be. (I'm gonna have to do a bunch of scrubbing to get my damage deposit back, but it was worth it!)

Thanks for your encouragement. It seems that in my life, patience is my continual challenge. I too love to paint, although I rarely make the time to do it, and I think a Coloradoesque landscape is in order to remind me of my goal!
