After learning about Wayne Rawlins' and Lynn Sweet's wedding on January 18 and being invited to their reception on March 22, we decided that it would be a perfect occasion to see each other again and combine it with some Colorado spring skiing (since that was all the Doctor allowed Roswitha for this winter !) .
Little did we know that our visit would coincide with the worst snow storm in the Denver / Frisco area since 1913 (up to 11 feet in some places in the state). Luckily we made it to Frisco just before I-70 and the DIA airport were closed, and the streets were conveniently cleared again before we traveled on to Colorado Springs to meet up with Wayne and Lynn.
Unfortunately, Scott caught a cold and really did not see anything but the little, cheap hotel rooms we had booked for the trip. But Roswitha was able to get in 4 wonderful days of skiing at Copper Mountain, Keystone and Arapahoe-Basin (if we ignore the sore muscles on the first few days).
3 feet of new powder with temperatures just around freezing - Oh, what bliss!
Lynn and Wayne's reception was very entertaining. Great conversations and food, galore. A great time was had by all (except Scott, who stayed back in another hotel room and couldn't even eat Cup of Soup because there was no spoon). People came from as far as Missouri and California to celebrate the union of the new couple. Lynn and Wayne wore their wedding outfits, and showed us pictures and told us about the actual event in Manitou Springs. Lynn wore a wonderful red dress, and Wayne looked stunning in his purple suit and his green (dress) tennis shoes. And there I thought the wedding picture that was sent with the invitation was photoshopped. Yes, stunning is the word.
