Back on Line!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the huge blank space in the blogging. School started and live was inturpeted! I think that our new goal is once every-other week.



Thanksgiving went great. We had about 75 people show at the annual gathering (45 years and still running strong). The turkey, stuffing and all the conservation with cousins, aunts and uncles was wonderful. We sure do miss and love our boys and girls in uniform. You were remembered in prayer and spirit. Stay safe.



The other big event of the weekend was the grand opening of Mark and Peggy's new lake house. Too much fun and wonderful hospitality! Everyone felt welcome and had an outstanding time. I have linked a photo album to make you jealous that you don't live closer! Just click on the image.

Pictures from Colorado

We had a great time with Gary and LeeAnn in Colorado last week. Spectular view and great weather made for a tour that we will not forget. We stopped to visit Chad and Sarah and their two beautiful girls in Omaha on the way out.

In Colorado we went up Pikes Peak on the Cog Railway (thanks Mark and Peg!); hiking on the incline (no air to breath up there!); toured the Air Force academy (how do they concentrate with that view!); spent a full day four-wheeling up a mountain (lunch at 10,000 ft.); spent 3 days in a cabin in the Rockies (thanks Gary's friend John) and stalked two moose all morning (slow but scary) and finished up with a ride along among the peaks in Rockie Mtn. National Park (awe enspiring with every switchback!)



We well definately do this trip again and try to throw in a little more camping and hiking. Thanks to Gary and Lee Ann for hosting us.

Hello from the Jordan's

We are on our way to Colorado Springs to visit Gary and Lee Ann. We plan on seeing the sights and hiking. Both Ben and Maddie are thrilled about the trip but are somewhat apprehensive about the 14 hour van trip. We will try to post from Colorado but may only get it posting after returning.
