Rocky Mountain Hi

Colorado greeted me with the most beautiful sky on May 10.  Just east of Denver, the airport arises out of what appears to be desert, with its beautiful tent like canopy. My sister, Bebo, was there to meet me, just as promised, and we quickly headed for her welcoming home in Lafayette.  We stopped for a quick dinner and some shopping, and the awe of the mountain vistas once again captured my soul.

Zoey greeted us and provided wonderful feline entertainment for my entire visit. She is such a sweet addition to my sister's life.

By the next morning it was rainy and had cooled down to 50, but we were up and out early with places to go and things to see.  Bebo had saved up a fun list of places to visit. The first being to ogle the array of pastries at "Indulge" bakey.  Oh, my.....some tasty treats were acquired - they escaped the camera.
Our next stop was at the Celestial Seasonings home headquarters in Boulder and that was a really fun place to see, we spent quite a bit of time in the gift shop and then walked through their lovely garden to the tea tasting room.  It was very aromatic, peaceful, and had an impressive array of art on display.

This dress, made entirely of Red Zinger tea packets, was in a lovely display in the tasting room.  Amazing.
Below the dress are photos of the window displays at the gift hsop.  The sayings and the paintings are so beautiful and I remember them well from tea boxes.

The roses were lovely and enjoying the light misty rain.

Love this color!

Next stop, just around the corner, was at the Leanin' Tree Company headquarters, Museum and Gift Shop.  This beautiful sculpture garden greets you at the approach.

Panther!

Next stop, LUNCH....we shared a very nice soup and a tiny pizza, as we were saving up for an evening dinner to celebrate Bebo's birthday.

Home to relax and play with Zoey again....she's reaching out for  my hand here. She loved having Bebo and me sitting on the couch with her.

A few sites seen along the way....interesting bikes everywhere.

Couldn't resist this window....Would love to see one of her parties in action!

So that ends the first several days and I will be back with more pics.

Happy Memorial Day weekend, and we are thinking a lot about those we've lost and especially those in service to our country!  Brave souls to whom we are forever indebted.

It will be a simple weekend here with LM and I enjoying some quiet time, but there will be some time this afternoon with Teddy and Samantha and their parents.  Just going to a playground for a little play and visit. 

Tomorrow, LM and I are going to the movies to see "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and out for a meal.

Ms G sends her love and purrs and she is very happy to have us together.

Fear has been evicted, maybe not permanently, but for awhile.

Love to all!
