I've lived in the Denver area for a
long time, you guys. But I have to be honest, although I had heard of
it many times and possibly even been there once or twice, I honestly
didn't know where Alamo Placita Park was. How could I have been there
and not known where it was?
Hello. You have met me. Right? I'm just not into the whole labeling thing.

To me, this was just a pretty park with
flowers that I liked to take pictures of. Until last year, that is.
Because last year, when Gary and I came across this park for the
first time together, we actually parked on the side with the plaque.
Now, don't ask me to tell you the history of the park.
It was on the plaque. Oh ya.
Did we read it? Yup.
Did we find it interesting? Yup.
Do I remember any of it? Nope.

Not only that, after we came home from
Alamo Placita Park last summer, I instantly forgot the name of it.
So, when I filed those pictures, I simply titled them “Park 2015.”
Now, Gary remembered once, but by the time I went to rename the file, he had forgotten. So, Alamo Placita Park became the park with the pretty flowers once again.

That is, until we went out for ice
cream on July 4th of this year.
Incidentally, if you're
looking for vegan ice cream, check out Bonnie Brae Ice Cream on
University Blvd. just south of Exposition Street. They only have two
flavors at a time and it's usually mint and chocolate, but they make
it in house and it's pretty good. Especially if you get a combination
of the two.
Anyway.... after we ate our ice cream,
we decided to go for a drive and ended up at Alamo Placita Park again
by accident. So, I got to take a lot of pretty flower pictures again.
Now, I, of course, had to ask Gary where the park was
again, once we got home and just before I wrote this. He says it's on
Speer and Downing or thereabouts.
You see how it is with us? Hey, I told you this was not going to be a Rick Steves kind of blog.

Anyway again.... the whole thing is
that I really just wanted to show you the pretty flowers.
I also thought it might help if I wrote Alamo Placita Park a few times to pound it into my head.
You know, I just realized that you might be thinking I should have my mental capacity checked. Bwa ha ha That's because I forgot to mention that it's my Lupus meds.

I forgot to tell you about the meds
that make me forget things. Oh, the irony. Bwa ha ha ha
So, just in case:
Alamo Placita Park on Speer and Downing has lots of pretty flowers.

| Alamo Placita Park on Speer and Downing has pretty blue and purple flowers |
 |
| Alamo Placita Park on Speer and Downing has pretty pink and white flowers |
 | |
| Alamo Placita park on Speer and Downing has pretty yellow, gold and orange flowers. |
There, that should do it.
Now, where was that park again, Gary? You know. The one with all the pretty flowers?
