Despite rainy weather the weekend was GREAT!
March 16th.
I'm here, messing around with updating this blog. What a great weekend everyone! It would have been wonderful if all the bookies could have been there, but still, we managed to eat, drink, laugh, sleep, walk on the beach, drink some more and just in general enjoy ourselves! I don't know when I've known such a group of women who all get along and enjoy each other so much! And a couple of us even read the book. If you didn't, I'll post a link to the talk on the web given by the author of the book My Stroke of Insight. Personally, I wasn't wild about the book, but I did like her talk.
I will post some photos later today, but in the mean time here are some little videos of the final 5 of us enjoying the cold rainy weather before leaving for the valley.
