detour

Sherry | November 30, 2008

The sun was shining brightly when we left our plush accommodations shortly before noon. We wanted to get a jump on the other vacationers who we figured would be hitting the slopes one last time. We zipped along Interstate 70, even as light snow fell outside the comfort of our car. Right about Vail snow [...]

at 8,000 feet

Sherry | November 28, 2008

A while back, at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes fundraiser auction, the Andersons bid on a week’s use of a house in Aspen. They also won! That’s why we get to hang out in a luxurious 7,000+ foot new home with mountain views from every window. All we knew on the drive up was that it was [...]

Yesterday we enjoyed a conversation with John and Erin in their camper van in the south island of New Zealand. The rectangle in the lower left of our [...]

another church retreat

Sherry | November 16, 2008

I’m more of an observer than a participant, so retreats aren’t necessarily my favorite thing. That’s why it’s always better when I have a job to do. But I like people, [...]

commuter bike

Dinnertime darkness doesn’t prevent Mauri from going for takeout Thai on his “commuter bike.” He has it fully equipped with flickering front and back lights and assures me it is absolutely safe. What do you think?

Columbus

Sherry | November 10, 2008

While I was in Ohio for some Evangelical Friends-related meetings, I stretched out my travels by one day to visit cousin Helen Katherine. I thoroughly enjoyed attending her Sunday school class and worship service and meeting her friends the Torneros, who invited us to dine at their large table.

one good thing

Sherry | November 4, 2008

I can think of one good thing about the election result. I would love to be wrong about everything else and will try to keep an open mind about what happens next.
