Colorado Highlights and Good Friends

August 1, 2014 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 9 Comments

Good morning! I hope that your week is off to a great start! I have just returned from a trip to Colorado. The first couple of days we spent in Denver where we took in a few of the downtown sights and shops, ate delicious food and visited friends. 

Then we went up the mountains to spend a few days at a private club near Winter Park with 5 couples that my husband went to high school with, sort of like a mini-reunion. We had a chef so we did not have to cook and it beautiful little chalets to stay in. 

We hiked, looked for wildlife, attended the bike championship and just relaxed. It was perfect, as I rarely go on holidays where we have no agenda, it was a welcome change.

This week my parents are visiting  so my posting and comments may be a little sporadic. 

I hope that you have a great week!

    I love Colorado. It's my spiritual home, so I envy that you were there. I can almost smell it in your images. Thanks for the reminder of how wonderful it is.

    I'm delighted to hear about your vacation and the fact that it was so restful. I've never been to Colorado, our daughter spent a year there and was always talking about the beauty. I would love to know more about the huge side striped layered rock . . . pretty amazing.
    What do they call it? So, I can look it up 🙂
    Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
    Connie 🙂

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
