Visiting Friends in Nederland, Colorado 7/08

Make a Smilebox photobook Charlene Morrison and I taught together when I lived in Oklahoma. Jaydene, who is Charlene's cousin in law, and I worked together after I moved back to Hawaii. They both had summer cabins in Nederland. Five years ago Jaydene sold her cabin next to Charlene and built this gorgeous house next to the creek. She and Russ now live half the year in Panama and half the year in Nederland. Gay and Charlene summer in Nederland and live the rest of the year in Midwest City, OK. It was great seeing them and catching up on old times. Charlene's oldest daughter was there with her husband and children. Can't believe I didn't get a picture. Charlene had all of us over for dinner and after dinner took us on a tour of some of the local sights. Jaydene and Russ let us plug in and camp out for longer than we intended. I had computer problems and we had to stay until all was well. They took us to town for a fund raiser pancake breakfast. The food was delicious and we had fun checking out the town. We spent many hours swapping stories and getting caught up with the years and stories since we were last together. It was great seeing them and enjoying their beautiful house and surroundings.
