After a too long absence from Colorado I am lucky this Memorial Day to be in Denver for my granddaughter Makenna\u2019s high school graduation. It\u2019s a homecoming of sorts for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last evening my wife and I attended a celebration hosted by Makenna\u2019s parents and a friend\u2019s family. Both girls were star volley ball players and are about to embark on their university educations. Both girls are grown-up young ladies, beautiful and smart and a tribute to the young people today. I appreciate that I was lucky to be there and, most of all, flattered with pride about Makenna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On another note, it is special to be out West again. Everything is bigger, the vistas and distances, and the ever presence of the mountains looming over the landscape. Long ago I learned from my travels that there is no absolutely best place in the world, but I know for sure, there is something out here that makes you want to return time and again. This trip I\u2019ve been blessed twice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
