Twenty years ago...

Twenty years ago, we were living in Jacksonville, North Carolina on September 11, 2001. Belinda was the Acting Safety Manager at Camp Lejeune and Charles was a staff chaplain at the Naval Hospital. 

Charles the on-call chaplain that night and was tasked with accompanying the casualty assistance officer at the notification of the death of a young sailor from the nearby town who had been killed at the Pentegon.

Parsonage visitors

​På verandan vid havet (2020)

We had a delightful visit today with the Rev. Dawoon Jung (pastor of the Beautiful Boulder Korean Church) and his wife, Yeongmi. Lunch at South Walnut Cafe` and a tour of the parsonage was on the agenda. They liked one of Charles' paintings which he was thrilled to share with them as a gift!

Remembering the summer snow

One year ago today we experienced our first-ever summer snowstorm that downed branches at the parsaonge and throughout the area. See this link for the blog entry from that day.

A quick nine

Charles made a quick drive south to Arvada this morning to get in a round at Stoney Creek Golf Course, an executive-style course (nine holes, mostly par threes). It was a fun way to start his Labor Day activities.

Fresh look

We made use of some delightful summer weather today, power washing the patio and repainting the patio and front porch metal furniture.
 

Date day

For this week's Date Day, we ventured to nearby Louisville and took a stroll along the pedestrian Main Street. Lunch at Verde made for a delightful morning out! But we had more in mind, a quick drive to north Boulder and it was back to Lucky's Bakery & Creamery for some date day treats!

Fore!

Charles ventured south this morning to get in a round at Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada. A nice park course made harder by Charles' inconsistent play, it was still a nice outing with beautiful late-summer weather. He capped off the morning with a quick round on the nine hole par-three course Indian Tree offers.
