Blog Break: Ladies Retreat Weekend

There will be no post today because I'm heading to Grass Valley, CA for a long weekend with a fabulous group of women. We've been enjoying these springtime retreats for well over 20 years now, and we're still going strong.

Our original common bond was the fact that all of our kids attended the same elementary school. Since then, we've shared our kid's growing pains and evolution into adulthood; the loss of parents and loved ones; the joys as our kids added marriages and grandchildren to our families; and most importantly, a unique friendship that has deepened significantly as years have passed.

So we'll cozy in with our sleeping bags, family stories, and mountains of outstanding food. We'll escape the real world for a couple of days, and return more relaxed and enlightened than before, because we took the time for each other.

I'll return with a new post next Friday. Have a great weekend.
