I got back today from 3 days at Still Point, and decided to add a few photos IN the blog to make it more interesting.
I got there around 11:30 Tuesday, and went right over to the cabin I would be staying in. Hardly any snow here...a big differenc...

Yep - I got home from my retreat last weekend (which went very well) and now I am planning to head to Still Point next week for 2-3 days.

It's been so busy lately that I am not sure if I am coming or going.
But there is something about Christmas that you don't mind the busy-ness. When the days are filled with preparation, visiting friends who are homebound, wrapping those gifts you...

The Thanksgiving weekend is over...dinner was, of course, the highlight and now we begin the Christmas preparations.
