Anniversary Week


The week started out with another Yogi sighting.  "Yogi" is the code word for bear so that our campers won't be alarmed if they hear the staff talking over the walkie-talkies.  Carol Rawls, granddaughter Morgan, and Nancy had a few minutes to play Uno.  Unfortunately, we have been too busy to do much staff socialization, so we make every minute count!



Staff surprised us with an after dinner party to celebrate our 50th anniversary.




Pictures, cake and ice cream, cards and notes from friends, and a caricature by Mason Rawls made the evening very special.




We drove into Denver with our friends Larry and Barbara Smith to eat at Bubba Gumps.  Larry and Barbara are also celebrating their 50th anniversary this month.



Our daughter Chris, provided us with tickets to a mystery dinner theater in Colorado Springs called The Dinner Detective.  Can you believe Russ was actually a "suspect" in the murder?


We have much to be thankful for during our 50 years of marriage.  God has blessed us with a caring, loving family and we thank Him daily for our children, grandchildren, and great grandchild.  Above (L to R) are Kyle, Ashley and Bella Rae; Amy, Bobby and Tiffany; Stephanie, Chris, Bill and Alyssa; Serena (between Chris & Alyssa) and Rod; and Jenni.  One of Nancy's favorite Bible verses is Psalm 127:3-5:  Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.  The more you have have, the better off you will be, because they will take care of you in your old age!   More seriously, Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  Prov. 22:6  To this end, we pray.
