(L) Dinner with my cousin Garry and his wife Mary Beth at the Old Stone Church in Castle Rock.
(R) Had dinner and got to visit with my best friend from high school. We had not seen each other in 50 years!
One day this week was free admission to all Colorado state parks. Along with 2 other couples we visited 3 parks and then had dinner at The Hungry Bear in Woodland Park.
We have been attending First Baptist Church of Black Forest, about a 12-mile journey from Ponderosa. It is a beautiful drive on forest roads through neighborhoods of custom homes in excess of 8,000 square feet. Most of them are on 2 -5 acre lots.
The best thing about the drive to church is enjoying God's handiwork, AND NO GRAFITTI ON ANYTHING!!
One of the jobs accomplished by the volunteers this week was making new bunk beds for the cottages. Once put together, they had to be put in the cottages through the windows.
Along with other Ponderosa volunteers, we went back up on Pikes Peak but this time we took the cog train. We decided that we like driving up in the Jeep better except that we can't take all our friends with us!
We continue to have daily visits by the wildlife: squirrels, cotton-tail rabbits, blue jays, humming birds, deer, and of course, the bear! He is getting bolder -- paid a visit to the snack bar in the middle of the day earlier this week. A mountain lion has been spotted across the road from us and in the north end of the camp. We are not so excited about his visits!
The Air Force Academy has an impressive campus. The picture at right is the Chapel where worship services are held as well as weddings and funerals.
The headquarters for James Dobson's Focus on the Family is here in Colorado Springs. The facility has a large bookstore and visitor's center and two other large buildings like the one below -- administration, conference/training, and publish

Did Dad have trouble getting that burger in his mouth? That thing is huge!
It's a good thing the window wasn't a porthole.
