Good Friends Visit

I am having a fantastic week!!! Several good friends came to Holden for the annual Women's Retreat, which ended today. These ladies really fuel my soul and to have them here is like sunshine. Below are Nancy J. and Lorrie.
Of course we had to hike out to the avalanche again, my third time. This hike is becoming the "must do" hike here at Holden. Very few people have actually seen a huge avalanche and to be able to walk out and climb on it is really fun.

Below are friends Janice and Nancy L. who also hiked with us on Saturday. Very photogenic ladies don't you think?

We climbed around awhile and then headed back. Nancy L. and Janice headed back today but Nancy and Lorrie are staying till Friday, such a gift. The Holden experience is really enhanced when you make friends, keep in touch and they come to visit. This is why we moved here for a year, to celebrate our relationships and build more.
