Spending 5 days in Denver, the 'mile-high,' city was so much fun! My dear cousin Rita and her wonderful hubby, Denny, their 3 dogs,1 cat and 1 grand-dog who they were baby-sitting, welcomed me to their lovely home where I was wined, dined and shopped-till-I-dropped. I was picked up from the airport and whisked to …
