Denver






This is the house we lived in while we lived in Denver . I was 5 years old when we moved there. We have a photo of Richard and me standing in front of the house. Fleta tried to get me to go stand where I did when I was a child. I said no!There was poison Ivy growing around the house.
The rock building is grandpa Gaddy's store when he lived at Denver. About the prettiest sight I saw was this flower and you know it is a thistle and has stickers.
The rock building is grandpa Gaddy's store but the town is a ghost town.
Our great great grandfather Eli Gaddy established Denver after moving here from North Carolina. he called the town New Salem and later it was renamed Denver.
The first thing I noticed about Fleta when she got to my house was she had a new hair cut and had put a red rinse on her hair. She told me that she was having back pain. She had hurt her back some way. I said it probably happen when you were dying your hair red!
