January 30, 2016

Even though Denver’s expecting six to ten inches of snow in the city and up to two feet in the mountains….most of us know how lucky we are to live here. In just a few short months, high mountain lakes will thaw, flowers will bloom, and a bit of paradise will surround us once more.

The climb

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass’; ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’ Harmon Killebrew

No problem

Emily loves flowers, hats, the color pink…..and overalls. I guess you could say she’s got the world in the palm of her hands.

A boy’s best friend

January 30, 2016

Chase has had Riley since the puppy was three days old. Recently, they were reunited after the dog escaped from the back yard and was missing for five days. Luckily, a resident in a neighborhood two miles away saw a poster and called with the good news. It’s hard to tell who is happier….Chase or […]

Breaking news

Best friends

Jenna, Grace, and Claire have been best friends since the eighth grade. They will graduate in May and attend out of state universities in the fall.

Solitude

January 28, 2016

“It is important to take time for solitude, to give yourself space to reflect, make new connections, and find meaning. Unfortunately, solitude is widely undervalued in society, leading many people to shy away from alone time. We tend to view time as time wasted or as an indication of an antisocial or melancholy percsonality. But […]
