| Denver Delights ... From time to time, little things happen that remind you of John. They always make you smile ... I like to call them 'Denver Delights' ================================================================= Thanks for sending me your 'Denver Delights' ... Keep them coming and look for them in future newsletters ... Laura ================================================================= From Pat L: I wanted to pass along THREE Denver Delights which happened quite recently. My husband and I were in an antique store and I was finished looking already and was standing by a revolving display case with jewelry in it. As I waited, I was idly spinning the case around, only half looking at the merchandise. Suddenly, something caught my eye and I stopped the case and there, right in front of me was a medallion just like John wore on the cover of "Whose Garden Was This." "War is not healthy for children and other living things." For only $5.00, I HAD to buy it! Then, in the very next antique store, we barely walked in the door and over the speakers, John started to sing "Leaving On a Jet Plane!" The very next weekend, we went out to eat at a local restaurant we have never been to before. They had all sorts of artwork on the walls which was for sale. I looked up at the picture above our table and saw a beautiful mountain scene, with a lone eagle flying over. The title? Would you believe, "Rocky Mountain High?" These little things just bring a smile to my face! |
