Kris&#8217;s mother has since passed on and that house is for sale &#8211; Kris and Hal are now in their new home on a secluded and  beautiful piece of land with gorgeous larch and aspen, magnificent views of the mountains and ravens&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t remember my back hurting after I stepped out of the Jeep, smelled the pine, felt the soft breeze and looked at the mountains through the trees.
