Queens Farewell

Today was the farewell luncheon held in honor of Tanya Kirby (L), Mrs. Colorado Galaxy and myself. It was such an honor to have so many wonderful ladies come, both young and younger.

The fabulous Erin put this brunch together for us. She is Mrs. Colorado Galaxy 2009. I had a wonderful year with her making appearances.

International sister queen, Jamie, was there to wish us well. She is so thoughtful. Now that she is married, I wonder if I can get her to compete again.

Michelle Wegner, Mrs. United America, has been a terrific friend and we have made a lot of appearances together. It was so special to have her there along with her daughter, Emma.

Client, fellow queen and, most importantly, friend!!! Good luck at Galaxy International next week, Tanya!

Mt. Sherman

Last Sunday, my husband and I climbed Mt. Sherman. It is one of over 50 mountains with it's peak above 14000 feet. These mountains are called 14ers and I am a proud member of the 14er club. I really beleive that the song, "Rocky Mountain High", must have been written at the top of one of the incredible mountains!

This is the view from one side of the mountain looking down on the town of Leadville. It is breathtaking!!

This is one of the meadow with all the mountain flowers in bloom. They bloomed late this year because of all the snow we have had. Just beautiful!!! This is why I love climbing 14ers!
