@ColoradoMel & TKPKgirl - Really?! That's "so true"?! I'm sorry but these kinds of comments about MY CITY (Baltimore) have really gotten old. How much experience do either of you have with Charm City? Let me guess, you've stayed a few days downtown for a convention or watched every season of The Wire, and that's enough to form an opinion on an entire city??

So Mel, I love Colorado and Denver is a great city. However, a quick Google search just showed me that over the past 10 years Denver's Violent Crime Index is exponentially higher that the national average for major cities (even doubled the US average from '04-'06). Does that mean I should never step foot in the city limits? Of course not. Same thing applies to B-more and most major cities in the US. There are bad areas where crimes occur with regularity, but there are also wonderful neighborhoods and residents who take great pride in where they live.

For you to make such a negative generalization about my hometown (which by the way, I lived away from from for 20+ years and then willingly chose to move back to!) is downright offensive. And to do so in the form of a comment on a post that highlights the fact that a top-notch business chose to construct a luxurious hotel here further displays your poor judgement and lack of couth.

The house in the pic always makes me think of Fruit Stripes gum.

Nice post Kimber!

Ahhh, if only I had $4600 to blow on a bar cart...that thing looks fantastic, but come on.

apf - my Trader Joes doesn't carry beer/wine at all...some beer is better than no beer!

i hit TJs every couple of months to stock up on some staples & frozen goods. not everything there is of great quality (agree with above re: produce), but definitely worth an occasional trip. hell, i've seen plenty of stuff in whole foods with high fructose corn syrup!

Oh how I long for a return trip to Brazil after seeing these pics...and with such inviting hammocks, who needs the bed?!

I wish I could provide all of you who are grossed out by this with a copy of the children's classic "Everybody Poops." Seriously, it's not like people are wiping with their magazines!

Nicely done! I sure would enjoy seeing the rest of those vacation pics :)

Looks cool, but not functional. I'm thinking you'd only be able to ride in a straight line!

Relax people. It's acrylic yarn. It's fun. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if even only 1 person thinks it's art, then it's art. Personally I like sweaters and I like trees, so I also like sweater trees.

AJ touched on an issue that is much more pressing than the validity of clothing a tree - squirrels. We must all join together to stop these pests from digging up potted plants and peeing wherever they please.

To quote the great philosopher/golf course groundskeeper, Carl Spackler, "...Man, free to kill [squirrels] at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."

What a great setting for feasting on some tasty food. The pictures on this post are fantastic, Kimberly! I need to go and check out this firepit that suiterkin mentioned before it gets to cold outside - boooooooo Winter!
