"C" is for COLORADO!

Hurry over to Jenny's and visit all the cool Alphabe Thursday participates. I am posting about the letter "C". Oh I had some good thoughts cross my mind,  but Colorado, my home and birthplace won out over candy a favorite treat and "Can do" attittudes and l my chaotic life. Dogs everywhere underfoot. Housing woes.  Sick kid, busy job. The list goes on. Now before you tell me to have some cheese and "whine" just look at Colorado proud post!

I love where I love. I have always loved this state. I grew up in the Southern part of the state and as a kid I took a lot of flack from people teasing me about living in the city where the Colorado State Hospital resides. Today I realize what a remarkable place that hospital really is. Go here and you can learn more about this place that has provided quality mental health care since 1879!

Can you say CSI-Pueblo?

I love my state for the four seasons that we experience. Here are some internet images of Western Colorado. If you like outdoor activities you are in the right place. Skiing, swimming, fun in the sun. We have a year round bevy of activities for every personality!

I love the weather. We have so many days of sunshine. We have a saying here, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes, it will change."  I have seen sunshine,hail,thunder, lightening,rain and snow in a day! Seriously, not kidding!

We brag about about the high altitude here. If you can breathe here you can breathe anywhere! We have here some of the most beautiful mountain peaks and scenery anywhere.

If you live in Northglenn, Colorado currently my home, you will be able to walk, ride a bike or run on 28 miles of trails. Go here  to get the scoop!

Denver is ranked one of the heath conscience cities in America and sell less donuts here than anywhere. Amazing isn't it?

I love my birthplace and my home. If you have not been here please put Colorado on your bucket list. There is so much to see and do. I can not list it all here. But I do hope you enjoyed my mini tour of my state.
