It's a P.E.O. Christmas!

Some of Belinda's P.E.O. sisters were in the holiday gift-giving mood today, stopping by the parsonage with some wonderful surprises!!
 

Birthday week, day #2

As part of Charles' birthday week observances, we went to the Red Lobster in Longmont this afternoon where the waiter brought Charles a dish of ice cream with a candle in it!

Birthday week has begun!

We began Charles' birthday week in church this morning for the festivity known as the choir's cantata!

The many faces of Wesley

Nap time

A new place to hide

The cat is not amused

Checking on activity downstairs

Catching a football match 

Wesley has been quite busy of late, finding new places to nap, and in general living the life of a professional housecat.

The last round in 2021?

A beautiful day for golf

The Snow-capped Rockies loom over the Front Range

On the approach to #18

Charles took advantage of what is perhaps the last warm day (59°) we're likely to see for the rest of the month to get in a round of golf at Colorado National in Erie. An 82, his best of the year, included 10 pars!!!

A thought for today

God who intervenes in human form, during this Advent, may we come home to you with this deep knowledge: we are your children. Amen.

a hint of the season to come?

We woke this morning to a slight dusting of snow which we hope is a sign of things to come as we need all the moisture we can get this winter to avoid another fire season like last year.
