WOW...what a fantastic weekend!!! 35 beautiful women from church, and an extraordinary speaker/leader to guide us through some remarkable lessons. All of it at a beautiful resort on a West Virginian mountainside!

We shopped at lovely little stores with amazing art and crafts. We ate at wonderful restaurants. We had the greatest fellowship.

And I got to take three hours all to myself to go explore a trail through the forests, up along the side of the mountain. I found a perfectly sized and shaped walking stick that I used to flip rocks and dead wood and dig in hollow logs. It was my first time to ever be out "in nature" that way, with the intent to actually LOOK for herps. I didn't find any...but it was such a beautiful time that I couldn't have been the least bit disappointed.

Anyhow....just had to share that! It's good to be back, too.
