It's always amazing to me how GOD guides our Widows trips. Our destination or purpose of the trip was to visit the chapel at the Air Force Academy but our virtual travel planner has something to add to it. Connie at my Mom's beauty shop mentioned we had to see the castle outside of Colorado Springs. D
id you know there was one? Mary's friend said the same. Google "Castle in Colorado Springs". Glenn Eyrire came up. http://www.gleneyrie.org/ . It's this beautiful castle built in the late 1800's early 1900's.

Glen Eyrie ended up being fascinating and will end up being our next Widows trip. We weren't able to go into the castle. On the weekends it is a Christain Retreat. They offer High Tea after their morning tour. Sounds like fun to me.
The Cadet Chapel at the Air Force Academy is beautiful. They have seperate chapels for each denomiation. The Chapel at the left is the Protestant. The organ is gorgeous. They also have Jewish and BuddistTemples. The Catholic Chapel has a beautiful mosaic mural. It ended up being a most enjoyable trip ending with of course our "McDonald's small ice cream cone" because they only asked twice "Are we there yet?"
Oh and we stepped out in our wildness Thursday night and decided to try our luck at Lotto. I wouldn't usually even think about it but was feeling a little lucky. The tour at Aneheiser Busch got me to try the Lime Budlight who happended to be having a drawing for a 19" LCD TV. I don't usually bother with drawings - it takes too long and I don't win anyway. This time I decided to step outside and guess what? I WON. So we each invested $1 and then got so excited about the prospect of winning anything stepped it up to $2. We will all be waiting patiently for Saturday nights drawing. Are we winners? You know even if not one ticket wins any cash we are all still winners because we have learned to sing (even if it is off key) and dance to life and whatever it sends our way!!!!
My sister came across your blog and sent me a link. I absolutely love it. I became a widow 3 years ago today. This was my 3rd husband, but the one I loved the most (the other two were divorces). I am just now 61. I have decided to follow your blog so that perhaps my widowed friends and I can take some heart in doing new and "wild" things also! One of my friends was widowed just last Sept. and another some 30 or 40 years ago and never married again. I will try to catch up on older posts as time allows. I have a blog of my own so feel free to drop by and say hello. Thanks for the inspiration!
