Ah! I only have two days left here in Colorado Springs! On Saturday I was thinking about my last week here and I realized I still hadn't gone hiking. Between Sunday and Monday I went on three different hikes. Sunday, I hiked the "Echo Rock" trail with Joh and Corrie and their daughter, Monique, and her husband, Rick. Rick and Monique were at the Glen from Wednesday to Monday for a marriage retreat and also visiting their parents. They were so great!! Just like their parents! They didn't miss a beat in getting to know me and making me feel like family. They came in to the coffee shop quite frequently...one morning Rick said, "We needed our fill of Keri". They got me to try soy milk in my latte and they also had me try tea. It wasn't too bad! Anyway, they invited me to go on a hike with them and their parents, so Sunday afternoon we lathered ourselves in sunscreen and set off up the mountain.

After the hike, we went back to the Pink House and enjoyed a nice cup of tea.
Monday morning, I hiked up to Dawson's Grave and had my quiet time. It was such a beautiful hike and what a gorgeous view!
Monday afternoon, Sonja took me to Manitou Springs for coffee and dessert!

| Right before I devoured that delicious piece of art! It was a coconut banana bombe...really good! |
Annndddd, I had to take advantage of the beautiful day, so I hiked up to Dorothy Falls.

It takes my breath away every time
