Is it really mid-February already ?!
We've had a few 'happenings' since we all had our last get-together. First and foremost was our wedding. Yep, Deb and I said our "I do's" in a beautiful wedding service which took place here in Bushnell on January 11th. We have been, and continue to be, truly blessed.
The wedding ceremony was performed by our pastor Roger Gilming and our good friend from Meeker, Colorado, Fred Ellis. I'll add a few pictures for you. Family and friends were all here to help us celebrate and to add to the festivities of the day.
Deb and I spent the next day in Arvada, Colorado at the Arvada Cowboy Poetry Gathering where many of our friends were performing at the 19th annual gathering. We were honored by poetry and song that was shared with us during the jam session at the LaQuinta Inn. Yvonne Hollenbeck arranged for a cake to be brought in and shared with all.
January 26th found us up Poudre Canyon at Mishawaka where we put on quite a show for a few brave souls who were willing to bundle up, and join us. We, consisted of myself with some cowboy poetry, my new bride, Deb Carpenter-Nolting, with some of her great original songs and Ben Treffer, accompanied by Martin Gilmore, with an outstanding set of, what I would call, a leading edge, new west sound.
The first weekend of February, I had a chance to get out of the cold and snow and head down to Sierra Vista, Arizona for the Cochise Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering. In addition to the warm weather, I had the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones. Sierra Vista puts on one of the best gatherings around, so if your inclined to hear a bunch of talented poets and musicians, that's the place to be in February.
Well, I hope everyone is wintering well. Keep your cinch tight, and your back to the wind. We hope to see you down the trail.
Best Regards,
Tim
