Enjoying the Old and the New

So we'll start with the old.

Meet the newest member of the Strickland musical ensemble!

We found this treasure at a yard sale on Saturday for $5! Sounds like a combination of an accordion and an organ. I (Will) have been writing some new songs lately and you had better believe that this little treasure is going to have it's time to shine.

This past week the Wagle's (some beautiful friends of ours that live in Colorado Springs) graciously invited us to join them for Saturday and Sunday up at a condo in Breckenridge, CO... and so we DID! Here are a few pics of our time up there which basically included the beauty of new flowers blooming EVERYWHERE! We couldn't believe how it looked and felt like spring up there! The 72 degrees was a welcomed change from the triple digits we had left just hours before. This was our first little get away since getting married and we were so grateful.

Poppies are my new favorite flower by FAR!

Our state flower... the Columbine!

For those of you who love people pictures, I'm sorry for the lack, but trust me... We were there!

welcome to our new married people blog. we are so excited to share some in action pictures of us with you. here you will see a very excited William with the Norwegian gift of brown cheese. Anne Randi visited us and had more than just gifts to bring us. She stayed for 10 days and it was a blessing to have her in our home. We love visitors. come and stay with us in Arvada!
