Can you tell that this was an amazing day to walk/hike in Colorado? This was one of those perfect days to be outside. The weather was just over 70 degrees with a little breeze and the path had a few challenges, but manageable. We saw some interesting birds, new plants and trees along the way. Mostly we just enjoyed being together and savoring the sounds (lack of), the smells (pine trees) and sights of being outside in this glorious country.

Well Strode is back from his 36 hour trip to Indianapolis and a board meeting for the Association of Cancer Executives. Judy did a great job while he was gone and the movers made short work of getting all of our furniture down into the basement where it will stay until our new house is done. It is moving right along with all the stucco undercoat applied and all of the sheetrock up. Judy and Strode stopped by today and they were taping the seams and starting the finish work. We are all moved into our rental condo and slept here for the first time last night. We have set our land line phone number up as an "anywhere voice mail" so we can keep the number when we move in. We are still on track for a mid-December move in and are really enjoying watching it finish out.

Well here are Mom and Dad Weaver in Bend, Oregon! We had a great time over the Labor Day weekend with friends Dan and Mary Nelson. We met the Nelsons in Portland and drove to Bend. We stayed in a fun rental house that we found on VRBO. It was just right for us. We toured the area, did some hiking and ate lots of good food. Our favorite areas of interest were the lava beds. We hiked through some very interesting landscape and learned a lot along the way. Our trip to Oregon was a good break from all of the packing we have been doing over the last few weeks. Now we are ready to move into our little "Gem" on Pearl Street for the next 3 and a half months. Many adventures ahead...we will keep you posted.
