Thankful Thursday

 Thankful Thursday

We spent the day with Hannah and Jake in Colorado Springs. Here are a couple phoots of Saint Mart's Catholic Church in  downtown Colorado Springs. As a young girl I attended the funeral of my mother's aunt Francesca Marold.  It is a lovely old church and I remember it well. I add the churches I snap photos of to my Pinterest board #whereigotopray


Here is the view of the front of the church.


We went on a nice hile at the Garden of the Gods. We saw this twisted and broken tree lying on the ground.


Jake and Hannah enjoyed the views up there and the weather was perfect.


Lots of brave souls climbing high up to take photos.


The weather was perfect. 


We had a nice time and saw people riding horses along side the upper road. It was a sight to see. There was one horse who had no left eye when he passed by. They were really beautiful creatures.


The rock formations are so beautiful and the mountains setting behind them look a lovely shade of blue. Lots of trees and  bushes everywhere.


Our son-in-law Jake and my husband Avery had a nice time. we really enjoyed the day.

This church, Plesant Valley Free Evangelical  was on the road on the way to our restaurant. We had hoped to get a reservation at Fargo's Pizza but could not get through their phone line and we stopped by but there was a line of people outside the building. So Hannah found a diner close by. The Black Bear Diner. The fod was great, the atmosphere nice and it turned out to be a nice dining experience.


We were all thankful for the nice day. Thankful the weather was great. Thankful we saw some great sights and thankful for a good meal. We are going to miss the kids as tomorrow is their last day here with us. We made some new memories and are so thankful them too.

Sweet dreams and thankful for being here and hopeful for another tomorrow. Goodnight.

Some lovely sights you found and we are glad you were able to get into a restaurant. Things are so different now with what is open and not open and how busy things are.

Beautiful rocks! Doesn't seem that long ago, I'd be scampering up them like a monkey. Now, my ankles tremble at the thought.
I really need to re-acquaint myself with Pinterest; there's so much good stuff, but I get sucked in for hours at a time. Did you get a new haircut? Cute!

The two churches are as different as can be. Both beautiful in their own way. Oh, those rocks look amazing!
