One of the key parts of our entire trip to the States was our trip to Redding, CA to participate in a training retreat for couples as part of Bethel Church's marriage ministry, Love After Marriage It was 5 intense days that included learning (experientially) how to...
Halfway to Las Cruces we stopped to spend the night in Santa Fe, New Mexico, home of some incredible art galleries and boutiques. Thankfully we did our tourist thing Monday morning. The weather was delightful and the traffic non-existant! Apparently a weekend visit is...
Sunday was our scenic day of driving from Denver to Santa Fe. I took so many pics that I put in this post that I had trouble uploading it from my phone! 😛 We started the day driving from our friends' house through our old neighborhood haunts. The first stop was...
We had the treat to see a few people at our Denver open house. while the turnout wasn't much the time quality time. Good to see you Penny, Steven and Erica! In the evening we went shopping! Denver has a shopping 'nexus' that surrounds Park Medows mall that is pretty...

This is a picture of our local McDonald's taken from my phone at 6 o'clock in the evening today-a Saturday night! We're about to take a trip to the States and I don't expect McDonalds there to be looking like this on a Saturday night. I think it must be the free...
