What a beautiful shot of Pike's Peak -- On this melancholy Monday, I'm processing a lot of wistful, watercolored memories. Among the top five of my most valued things I long for are the frosty spring snows that have fallen over Denver the last few days.

Bring Denver Boone Back!
University of Denver is going through an identity crisis. Changing from Denver Boone to a Golden Eagle several years ago. What does an eagle have to do about being a Pioneer? What is so offensive about Boone? Not to mention that he is one of two university logos that Walt Disney designed.

Tivoli
omgosh I used to love this place. We'd stop in there after classes at Metro State. There was an artist who had a little booth, and he'd do charcoal portraits really cheap. I had one done of Ben when he wasn't barely two--it's one of my most treasured possessions, and it was only $10. Back in the day it was a great place for oddball shopping and student-priced cafe's. Ahhhh the good old days...

abandoned house.
this looks an awful lot like the house that's next door to where my brother in law used to live. It was a major drug house back then.

Great Blue Heron on a Snowy Day
this was shared in my Denver Flickr group; don't know what part of town it's taken in, but my guess is somewhere near the Platt River. It's a beautiful shot!

Castle Marne B&B
I love the neighborhood where this mansion is located. With all the recent snowfall that Denver's had the last several days, I guess I'm missing Denver quite a lot...

About Me
- 2QTsInHeaven
- I'm Vickie, 51, married since 1985. We have a grown son, born in 1986, and aside from two early miscarriages, were barren thereafter. That is until 2003, when we were miraculously expecting a baby girl. The pregnancy was wonderful & we were very excited to be so blessed. Sadly & preventably, Abigail died in utero the week of her due date thanks to a practice of outlandishly horrid medical providers masquerading as knowledgeable professionals. Consequently, I delivered her lifeless body on December 6, 2003 after 3 days of sorrowed labor. She may have been born still, but she was still born & is still loved. Long story short, we were blessed 16 months later with a 3rd miracle child. Anne came into the world on April 28, 2005 after yet another wonderful pregnancy. Sadly, it was discovered after her birth that she had a heart defect caused by trisomy 18. She died suddenly of congestive heart failure, just before midnight on June 28, 2005. Anne was 61derful days old when she left her mama's arms & went to rest in the Lord's. She was a wonderful sparkly child, who along with her siblings, are the subject of most of my writings, interests & hobbies.
