Fantastic sharing of information


We decided that our line dancing careers weren't looking to promising so we best concentrate on the vocational activities today.
We have had two very intensive informative days in Denver. There has been some fantastic two way sharing of ideas, existing models and progressive initiatives.
A huge thanks to our fabulous drivers who have transported us around the city. If we were relying on Brenda to navigate we could have ended up anywhere...depending on which way up she had the map.
We presented to the Denver Rotary Club at lunchtime today and were again received with an incredible welcoming and freindly reception.

just wait 15 minutes...

There is a saying in Denver...if you don't like the weather just wait round for 15 minutes it will change. Here we are in 3 degrees celsius and yesterday in exactly the same spot it was 19 degrees celsius. Denver has a storm warning out and we are expecting up to a foot of snow tonight. Tomorrow's photo will be of us building snowmen!

It's a hootenanny !







We celebrated Judith's birthday in style on Wednesday night with some of the Denver Rotary Club at Stampede!
She was a fine old hootenanny with the local cowboys and gals... It was a blast!
Turns out the Kiwis have a bit of work to do on their line dancing...however there were no people or animals hurt in the making of these photos!


There was a dance off between Annie and Judith and Hollie and Brenda ... the pictures say it all! Yeehaa!

Fantastic reception in Fort Morgan


On arrival in Fort Morgan we celebrated Hollie's birthday in style with a carrot cake!
We had a great meeting and presentation at the Fort Morgan Rotary Club on Tuesday. We have been met with fantastic enthusiasim and an abundance of friendly faces throughout our stay in Fort Morgan and for a couple of the team members , Brush.
...Sharon you look so young!

Them there pets are big in Fort Morgan


Most folks just keep a cat .... sure would keep the burglars out of the house though!

Hi from the Mile High City

We spent the morning in Fort Morgan visiting Sara, a service for sexual abuse victims. The house they work from is beautiful. Lunch was at the Fort Morgan Rotary Club and we were sad to say goodbye to our hosts and come to Denver. I'm doing this from another computer and will need to find out how to load photos before too long.

Promise to do better tomorrow. We have great photos of a bear!!! A stuffed one, thank goodness
