Let's Make a Sandwich!
The bread: Coastal Retreat Center, bacon: Bible Study with Pr. Gina, lettuce and tomato: Carl and Kristin's meals prepared with love, pickles for silly dilly Sister D'Etta ideas. Mustard and mayo are the condiments participants add to the weekend: shopping, extra naps, touring Charleston, etc. It's a "tasty" weekend, "time apart!"

Cherokee Blessing
May the warm winds of heaven
Blow softly upon your house
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your mocassins
Make happy tracks
In many snows.
Thoughts about "next time:" bring more dish towels, sit in comfier chairs upstairs for "meeting times," name tags, maybe a review BINGO on Saturday evening as an optional activity?
