We love spending time with Amy in Denver. Mother Nature actually dared to rain on us this year! She showed her colors on our way into town Thursday night as we drove in - in beautiful fashion with sun shining through clouds and mountains as the backdrop - beautiful! I always think of God when I see sights like that...must be those dramatic Italian paintings.
Amy's roommate Megan is back from Europe. She traveled there for a month with her dad. Then, when she traveled back from Mason City to Denver after returning, she drove through tornadoes just past Omaha. When Megan saw semi trucks on their sides, and the sky turned green, she figured something was wrong! She ended up taking cover with octogenarians in Seward, Nebraska. It was quite a story!
I love walking from Amy's place to the restaurants. We didn't go to Jelly for breakfast - instead heading to a place near the art gallery - where we passed by these two cool things on a beautiful morning.

| This sculpture is so fitting for me - the trash lady |
After shopping that day, I hung out in the veranda area outside Amy's place - which is the coach house of a mansion. It later welled up and rained again - but I enjoyed my time reading in the shade.

| So pretty out there |
We slept in Amy's bed - the light in there in the a.m. is very nice. And as a graphic designer, she's a good decorator too!

| Note her Iowa license plate is on the wall - she didn't forget her roots... |
She took a photo of us - after a stop at a brew pub for food and brewskis, we walked to another bar in the rain for a giant hot cookie. Amy snapped this pic. We were representing the colors! Tomorrow - onto to Grand Junction!
