COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

Monday morning, after another delicious breakfast at

Kested's we drove down to Colorado Springs where my

best friend from high school days has lived since she

started teaching there in the 1960's. Her husband Jim

and Bev raised 3 children. Two of them live near them

and one in Iowa. They have 5 grandchildren.

It had been 44 yrs. since we visited them last. I did see Bev.

at a class reunion about 20+ yrs ago. We reminisced,

looked at old pictures, talked about our families, went out

to lunch at Fargo Restaurant, and toured the U.S Air

Force Academy, Focus on the Family, Garden of the God's

and Navigator's.

Inside the visitor's center, note the airplane

The rocks here were amazing. They were red in color and some

were like tall chimneys, standing all alone.

Out to lunch at the Fargo Restaurant

The Castle at Navigators where our friend Cindy Hyle Bezek works.

We met Cindy Wednesday afternoon at the Navigator's Bookstore

Courtyard. We hadn't seen her in nearly 20 years.
