I have spent the last week in the cool, crisp, and charming Central Colorado Mountains. My friends live at 8000 feet but are surrounded by a string of 14,000 ft mountains. Daytime temps were in the 70s and nighttime temps in the 40s. Perfection. The best part of the layover – staying with wonderful friends. They…
I was in Denver last week to attend a preaching conference. I do not usually attend this conference, which moves around to different cities, unless I can stay with friends, thus reducing costs. My son, Kerry, lives in Denver, so attending this year’s conference was a no brainer. However, I stayed at the home of…
On Monday I fly off to Denver again, to a minister’s conference. Yes, even ministers have their version of rock-stars, and I will be hearing some of my favorites speak about……..preaching! The event planners are considerate of minister schedules, so the conference begins Monday PM and ends Friday at noon. This ensures that we can…

This morning I set out for Denver to see Kerry and meet Meghan! So excited. Kerry worked a late shift last night so I don’t need to get there until around 11 AM. I will make us brunch and then later we meet up with Meghan. Here is my favorite photo so far of them,…
Tomorrow I leave for a 3-day trip to Denver. I have some work-related appointments Thursday, and my son is moving to a new apartment on Friday (emptied out the van so I can help him). On Saturday, he graduates from fire academy. I am looking forward to spending time with him and his lovely lady,…
It is time to pick up Half Moon from the RV dealer, after the warranty work. However, this time I came all the way to Denver first (3 hours), to visit Kerry. I scooted down today because the driving weather will be worse tomorrow. That means two nights at his place.Tango and I are getting…
This was a beautiful night for flying: clear and calm. Nothing overly adventurous on the way to DIA from Wyoming. In fact, I was so excited about my trip that I passed right by 3 Starbucks. Usually when I enter Colorado that is my first stop but I was a woman on a mission today.…
I would like to say that these photos show MY garden, but no. They are the veggies at the Denver Botanic Garden. I took these photos for my veggie gardening friends. Their veggies were planted in differently shaped blocks and they had some great trellising ideas. The photos are not great…just took them for ideas!
I am back home from a wonderful birthday trip to see my son. One of the highlights, besides seeing him, was the Denver Botanic Garden. It’s in full glory as you might imagine at this time of year. Never been there? It is well worth the price of admission; I think it is one of…
