Three Glorious Days in the Mountains!

I've just retuned from my knitting group's annual retreat.

We spent the past three nights at the same "cabin" we had last year

in the mountains of Tennessee.



Step inside and I'll give you a glimpse of how we spent our time.

Of course, knitting (and weaving) weren't our only occupations.

We enjoyed the view,

as well as some glorious spring weather.

Our retreat was filled with inspiration.

We all ate too much, talked too much,

(DOWNTON ABBEY was thoroughly discussed,

as well as re watched).

Once again, the retreat can be declared a total success

and I for one, am looking forward to next year!

Friends are Like Fruit Salad!

Friends are like fruit salad because

individually, each is sweet,

but put several together and

you've got a bowl of food for the soul!

I've just returned from a yearly retreat with my knitting buddies.

Each year we rent a "cabin" in the mountains for our get-away.

This year we decided we were all grown up enough

that we all wanted rooms to ourselves,

so the "cabin" was a six bedroom with a second

living room and kitchen.

We managed to rough it.

One whole side was a glass enclosed sun porch with an

incredible view of the Smokey Mountains.



As I sorted through my pictures I noticed I was heavy on
"kitchen shots!"

Does that give you any idea of what we spent a

good amount of time doing?

We all enjoy cooking, and each of us brought

several favored dishes to share.

Other than the first day's lunch out,

all meals were at "camp."

Ann used the retreat as a weaving seminar.

Katherine (I call her the "Renaissance Woman"

because she's a professional crafts person;

she does it ALL, and she does it WELL)

had a portable loom and spent some time

mentoring Ann.

The main living room.

Oh, I forgot to tell you...

we did manage to do a little knitting while away!

It's weekend time again...already!

Hope you have an excellent one!

Perhaps spend some time with friends?
