My mom is much more of a breakfast person than I am. But if breakfast was exactly like this every morning…I’d never miss it.
That’s veggie eggs benedict, by the way. And it tasted like heaven.
What’s your favorite way to spend breakfast?
love, elizabeth
Mom and I drove up to Leadville for a weekend. We had so much fun. I’m not a mountain girl by birth but I married a mountain boy and I think that kind of love for thin air and a big, bright Colorado sun rubs off on a person.
We stayed in a peaceful little motel right on the main street, wildflowers in our window.
I took a lot of pictures of the storefronts. They have such an old, lost look about them, like the old gold and silver mine entrances and overgrown railroad tracks just outside of town. The Tabor Opera House is one of the last remaining opera houses from this part of the country and one of the last Tabor buildings standing. It’s even more beautiful inside but the light in there wasn’t the greatest and the curators aren’t so crazy about flash photography.
That’s 10, 200 feet above sea level. I always forget how it feels to be that high up. A little like floating.
I could spend weeks that high in the clouds. Are you a mountain person?

my mother said, as we packed the car and headed for the mountains. She’s like that.
We spent Friday and Saturday in Leadville, Colorado and Mom indulged every blogger impulse in my body. “Oooh, look, Mom! Buffalo Bill’s grave! We have to stop…I can blog about that!!!”
“Mom, an antique store! I can blog about that!!!”
“MOM! FRESH ELK JERKY! BLOG!”
And not only did we visit every little nook and cranny I requested, she allowed me to photograph her in every nook and cranny. Here are a few of my favorites.
Mom on Lookout Mountain near Buffalo Bill Cody’s grave.
Mom at the Tennessee Pass café for breakfast.
Mom in the box seats at the legendary Tabor Opera House.
Mom outside of The House with the Eye museum off of Main Street, downtown Leadville. Oh, yeah. And there were some mountains. No big deal.
I only took about a bazillion picture so I have TONS more to share. Stay tuned!
love, elizabeth
ps: I miss your blogs! As soon as I’m back in Ohio, expect visits and comments galore.
