OGC Bowling and Holiday Party, 2005
The 2005 Holiday saw a two-pronged party scene: bowling on Wednesday, December 14 and a party at (someone’s) house on Friday, December 16. And now, the party at someone’s house.
Buster
Buster joined us in August 2005 and hung in there until January 2021, becoming our longest-lived cat. July 31, 2005 Once we moved into our new Pfefferkorn home, Barb and Allie conspired to get a new kitten. Barb learned of a woman who had a bunch of kittens available. On July 31, Barb and Allie …

Denver-Rushmore-Canyons 2005
