Small “a”
246 // June 30, 2008
Was up at Johnson & Wales this afternoon walking, and came across the ‘Benefactor’s Garden’ which represents the founding institutions that supported Johnson & Wales when it opened in Denver in 1999.
One of the benches is The Broadmoor — a special place to me and my husband. We got married [...]

Dancing Downtown Lights
245 // June 29, 2008
First, I want to thank everyone for the kind comments and emails about the unfortunate condition from Friday.
We are in the clear and have been un-contagious — so much that our friends that were visiting came down to spend Saturday night with us.
Anyway, we ended up going to The Chophouse in [...]

Twigs from a Garage Sale
244 // June 28, 2008
I’m surprised at how much having a dog has opened my eyes to look around our great neighborhood.
Along with all the cute, old houses to adore this morning, I met a few people who were putting on garage sales on a couple of our blocks.
Well at 6:30 in the morning I [...]

Quarantined!
243 // June 27, 2008
I can’t believe it. We have friends that are visiting from out of town, and we can’t see them.
It all started off with my right eye being a little red…then my left eye became a little red… then I could barely open my eyes because of the burning and swollen factor [...]

Suburbia
241 // June 25, 2008
Mini-van, 3.5 bedroom house and a tree swing. Childhood paradise or typical suburbia?

M&L Forever
240 // June 24, 2008
Light hits the engraving on our driveway in the early evening — always wondered how old that is and what "M&L" stand for.

239 // June 23, 2008
Also taken in Denver’s Art District from Saturday.
Does this building look familiar? It should — I posted it back in January, but with my digital camera.
(I also took a couple pictures with my Alpa Reflex, but haven’t finished the roll yet… excited to see the results sometime this week!)

Polaroids in the Art District
238 // June 22, 2008
I was really excited to take The Puppy and a couple cameras downtown on Saturday — specifically one of my Polaroid cameras. We went to The Mac Outlet on Broadway (long story) and then downtown Denver to walk around the Art District and visit the Pride Festival that was happening.
Can’t [...]

Blue and Yellow
237 // Jun 21, 2008
More pictures from the walk yesterday.
A typical rush-hour helicopter monitoring the traffic around Denver flies overhead.
I wondered what determines the color of fire hydrants? Back in Chicago (suburbs), they are red. Denver they are yellow, and I swear I’ve seen blue ones around somewhere too.
Guess the reds have a little more [...]

Leaves on Nose and Ice Cream
236 // June 20,2008
Happy First Day of Summer (officially).
Took Mr. Cub for a walk after work today, an activity that is a twice-a-day event. Silly puppy gets tired on walks, but when he gets home it’s all play, play, play.
Another daily event is the silly Ice Cream Truck that moves waay to fast down the [...]

Clematis
235 // June 19, 2008
This flowering vine bloomed last week and has now taken up a good portion of the front porch fence.

Sunset Over the Yampa
233 // June 17, 2008
Well yesterday I was pretty blunt about not missing today’s post, and I hope I don’t disappoint.
I can’t say whether there were many reasons or very few reasons that I moved out to Colorado.
I can tell you one thing: the pure feeling that I get watching Colorado sunsets, hiking to [...]
