Ladies Retreat #2

Good Morning All,

I just returned from an early morning moon-lit walk around the neighborhood. It was oh so beautiful and the quiet gave me a chance to reflect on our time together in Freedom. As you all know, that place in the world is one I cherish. It is home in so many ways and holds most all of my family memories. It was so wonderful for me to share that space with you all, and I absolutely love our new tradition of a Fall escape together. Mark your calendars now for next year....and let's absolutely keep our eyes open for the possibility of a winter retreat....good soup, lots of fires, knitting, movies....who could complain about that??

Anyway. Just a note to give you all a hug and let you know how important you are to me!!

Have a great day.

Caroline

Wonderful Freedom, NH - Sept 2010

Attached are my photos from our wonderful weekend in Freedom. Caroline, a special thank you for making this weekend so very special. You are a gracious host and thank you for adding us to your album of memories in Freedom. It is a weekend we will never forget.

Your friend,

Hi Everyone,

I thought I had emailed everyone with the date of the next book club which is Oct. 26th at my house. The book as you all know is "To Kill a Mockingbird." Sorry about the late notice.

A big thank you to Caroline for having us to her beautiful getaway in NH. It was amazing and relaxing...so much fun. I only wish Becky could have been there and we would have had a complete turnout!

Here are a few pics from the weekend...I posted them all on facebook if you want to see them.

Meeting at Becky's

Thank you Becky for such a wonderful spread of food and wine! The book discussion was good, and as always, brought out new perspectives on the writing. I loved the photo book you had! and we are enjoying our Tuna tonight- Thanks to your wonderful husband. Looking forward to our Freedom gathering, and to the Oct. meeting at Midge's- can't wait to start the new book.

August Meeting Info

July Meeting at Hanky's

such a great evening with everyone! so sad that Sheila and Karin weren't able to attend. I can't believe I can even type after all the peach Sangria! Thank goodness it wasn't unbearably hot and the mosquitos weren't too bad. So for next month, we will meet at Becky's on August 30th, pending Becky's plans, with the 31st our second choice and the book is "One Thousand White Women" by Jim Fergus. You should be able to get it pretty inexpensively on Amazon in the used section, as it's been out for a while, but I have heard great reviews from a few individuals, so hopefully it will be an interesting read for the summer - what remains of it anyway. I so enjoy this group of diverse and interesting ladies, and appreciate the little amount of time we have together. September looms ahead with plans for Freedom at Carolines...an email will follow with tentative dates for a long weekend. Love to you all, hanky
