Dwight and Sharon in Hawaii November 2004 Posted by Hello

Finally we have a profile picture!

After much brain damage was incurred by both Sharon and Beth trying to get a picture posted next to our name in this blog, a co-worker of Sharon's managed to downsize our 2004 Hawaiian sunset cruise picture so the blogger program would accept it! It was a memorable trip last November to The Big Island for our 33rd anniversary. We decided that of the two islands we have visited, we enjoyed Kauai more when we were there 3 years earlier, but this was a wonderful trip, too (and we traded in our United miles for first class seats!).

We're experiencing beautiful weather here in Colorado. Dwight gets to go to the Rockies season opener this afternoon - sunny and 70 degrees! Snow tonight, oh well. Should warm up again later this week.

A beautiful weekend in Colorado!

Had fun last night, enjoying dinner at home with friends, trying to teach Kirk how to behave around guests - he did pretty well considering he's still a baby! Today is gorgeous, sunny and mid-60's. We're heading to the dog park this afternoon and to a sneak preview of "Fever Pitch" tonight. Worship tomorrow, and on Wednesday, Dwight starts an 8-week class on spiritual formation at Genesis Presbyterian. He had an interview Tuesday with a search committee of a church looking for a part-time interim pastor, but no word yet, so they may be looking at others. We'll see ...

Dwight's had a couple of good days pain-wise, so we continue to be hopeful that this last surgery may help, but too soon to tell.

Sharon's work is going well, but budget problems in the city (actually all municipalities in Colorado are hurting big time) are making her feel vulnerable for the first time. She's survived 4 years of layoffs so far and is not sure her department will survive the next one. There will be a question on the November ballot regarding increasing the city sales tax and it will boil down to a vote about what kind of services citizens really want.
