This retreat was such a blast! We (Midge and I) left Wednesday
morning to meet our other two friends Amy and Malinda at a
gas station. We got on the road at about 10:30 a.m. We made a
few pit stops along the way. When we made it to the Mbox store
and we said to one another before we went in “No, paper” neither
one of us needed any more paper. But what do you think
happened right when we walked in the store? Yup, paper
was calling my name. Everywhere I look there was paper.
I felt like Jim Carrey in the show “Ace Ventura when nature calls”
you know the scene when he goes into the hunters trophy room
and he can’t even stand it because it is so over whelming. Yes that
is how I felt. Picking up paper and several embellishments, some
alpha stickers. Ok let’s just say a little bit of this and a little
bit of that. But I must say that the find of the day was
Sassafrass Lass line of paper and stickers with yup you
guessed it mushrooms (I absolutely love mushrooms, no
I’m not a drug addict. You know the cute kind with faces and
hearts on them?). It was love at first sight. Getting in line
I was a little nervous on how much I was going to spend.
They gave us a 15% off our whole purchase but even with
that I was not feeling like I did good on the old pocket book.
But to my amazement I only spend $20.00 and I had two filled
up punch cards for $5.00 off each so I only had to spend
$10.00 Nice I was in the clear.
Moving on we left the store and went to eat at
Daniels summit lodge. It was yummy, Fettuccine Alfredo
with chicken and pine nuts, mmmm, mmmm. After our tummies
were full we were finally on our way to the retreat:) We made
it there at a little after 3:00 and check in wasn’t until 5:00 so
this is what we did to pass our time.
I was glad to know that if the boat were to go over at least
one of us was prepared… Me!
I thought that it would be funny if I started rocking the boat, just
Lisa, Amy, Malinda, Angie, Midge, Teresa, Me, Cindi, Stephaine

My dear friend Laurie, she is such a sweetheart.
And last but not lest our funny Cindi. Boy oh boy is she a kick in the pants:)
