Wow I hope he doesn't find a way in! This weekend is the Rocky Mountain Dental Convention. In California the convention is in Anaheim...still conveniently close but not as close as this. I hopped on the bus ($1.10 with my Medicare card) to avoid all the one way streets and the $12 parking and arrived just 30 minutes later. But who should greet me but this giant bear...one of the many art sculptures around Denver downtown. I have seen him in pics but not so up close and personal. Three weeks ago my Denver girls and I went to the art museum where there is one full 3 story wall of chef knives and across the street from the art museum is the downtown library. I have yet to go inside but I hear it is magnificent. I wonder which bus takes me there?

Sunflower in the sun
Oh it has been cold in Denver since Christmas morning. It was beautiful to have a white Christmas and perhaps it was the first one for me but it has been frigid cold night and day. But the weather turned this weekend for a few days. Now that my garden is barren I have let my barnyard animals out to forage. The goats have discovered the closest lounging area to me is the patio furniture. Sunflower--9 months today-has found a place to rest her head.

Denver Art Museum-Becoming Van Gogh
Yesterday we rang out the old year by visiting the Van Gogh exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. Ella, Kate and I bundled up and headed downtown. I think this is the last of the Denver museums we have visited. I think we have now done them all.
Kate and Ella sit in a downward facing sofa against a wall of chef knives.
"Becoming Van Gogh" is a fabulous chronological journey through his genius. All of the paintings are a collection of privately owned pieces. It is amazing this artist had such a short span of paintings..only about 10 years. Of course we are all familiar with his wonderful Provencal colors of blues, greens and yellows.
I think I'll go get my paints out.
Happy New Year
