The florists – what a project! I attempted to grow the flowers but reality was a different story. We bought most and then in-filled with flowers grown from my volunteering connections.

The rehearsal dinner was a wonderful outdoor BBQ. A rare shot of the official photographer.

This Chapungu sculpture was one of my favorites when it was at the Denver Botanic Gardens. These Zimbabwe Stone Sculptures are quite magnificent. There is a permanent home to some of them in Loveland, Colorado at the Chapungu Sculpture Park.

Remembering our concerts we had seen there: Peace Love and the 60's, 70's and 80's.

It has been a healthy year for us. We both got into cycling again did many 27 mile workouts to Cherry Creek State Park.

We got close to the start for the time Trial in Denver under wilting, scorching, unbelievable heat - but was great to be able to cheer on each rider and see them (and their bikes) up close. Good fun!
