in Boulder, CO.

I figured out that she also had another family taking care of her, because of the way she'd be home for a few days, then gone for a few. One day I took a walk in the neighborhood, and saw her coming across someone's back yard. That house had a for sale/sold sign in front. After those people moved out, she never spent much time away from home again.
