It was such a wonderful retreat. I enjoyed meeting you, Andrea. I only regret that we didn't spend time getting to know each other better. I'm grateful for the time I was able to spend with some of the ladies I didn't know that well before and to reconnect with some I have known well for a long time but due to moves, etc. I've had less contact with. I thought it was a GREAT four days! Can't wait for next year!!!Stephanie Abneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120023740478895429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926862080610288445.post-27804928227802183142011-07-17T23:03:45.346-07:002011-07-17T23:03:45.346-07:00It was awesome!

An incredible spirit of acceptance and love. Everyone pitched in and supported each other. You are such a sweetheart and I am so glad you made it- I know you weren't sure how long you could stay. I hope all of us can go next year too!

I was asked yesterday if I had a good time at the retreat, and when I responded yes, the woman asked if there had been any little snarky disagreements. I guess she thought since there were 30 women in one lodge that someone had to be an instigator. I was kind of shocked that she didn't believe me when I told her we all laughed together and got along. You have a sweet spirit, Andrea, and I'll always remember this retreat and my sister roommates.Debra Erferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239033133090036826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926862080610288445.post-32718090508601031172011-07-17T14:58:43.172-07:002011-07-17T14:58:43.172-07:00What a lovely account, Andrea!
