Grand Opening Pics

Our nephew, Josh, and great-nephew, Jack...


By the end of the day, we'd collected more than 500 books for The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless...


See the dog with the pink hat? That's Tucker - a regular at The Nook...








City Auditor, Dennis Gallagher, holding court...


Randle Loeb, guest speaker and Coalition Advisory Board member...










My angels (in the very back and mostly hidden)...


The ceremony begins...


Joking that it might take more than a couple snips to get through the organza...


And it did (take more than a couple snips, that is)...


Almost there...


Gary and I with Andre Pettigrew and Dennis Gallagher...


Andy Ard entertained our ears...


Portia the Clown....


...made balloon creations... (Cutie patootie, Shelby in her original Portia creation)




...and painted faces...


Free chair massages courtesy of our friends at Holistic Bodyworks...


Betty doing a great job sharing information about Denver businesses...


Jack beat Shelby down and stole her balloon hat....


And then the real fun began...

Thanks to Josh for taking for being our official photog (great job, man!) and to all our friends and family and members of the community who came out to help us celebrate our big day!
