Morning Meanderings… A Retreat

 

A quiet Saturday!  Just what I wanted and needed!  A day to catch up on some reading, a little bit of working out and a couple of reviews. 

Isn’t it weird what a difference a week can make?  Last week at this time I was exhausted and at a Women’s Retreat… which really sounds like an oxymoron right?  I mean the words “women’s retreat” brings up visions of relaxation and down time and girl chats….

and it was all that – but I went into it wrong.  I had a hugely busy week last week and by the time I arrived at the women’s retreat on Friday evening, stick a fork in me… I was done.  😯

Don’t get me wrong – it was a lovely time.. I was just tired.  I had a chance to chat with some friends and make a few new ones.

Part Of the camp we stayed at - Trout Lake Camp

An area that was in the main lodge.... my favorite hang out space!

 

Me... ready for the winter activities!

A few of my AWESOME roommates!

And a few more of the awesome gang!

All in all the retreat was fun!  We ended the second night with a purse action.  Throughout the retreat you could earn “dollars” to bid on purses.  I did not win a purse but t was a lot of fun to watch people go a little crazy over the purses! 

These pics are my contribution to the fabulous Alyce’s Saturday Snapshots.  Pop over and see what others have taken pictures of.  😀

Have a fab morning – I am going to make an egg white omelet while listening to the end of an audio book.  Later I am back with my February recap and possibly later yet (to get myself on track) a review.

  1. You go to the best retreats! They look so awesome…and you’ve given us great shots.

    That egg white omelet sounds good…hmm. My granddaughter Fiona is here for a sleepover, Maybe I can convince her to head to Mimi’s with me. They have the best egg white omelets!

    Thanks for sharing…and here’s MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT

    1. It was the first time they had the retreat there Laurel, and I admit I was surprised how nice it was!

      Love egg white omelets – I will it with spinach and mushroom and a little cheese…. hopefully that motivates me for the Zumba class this morning!

  2. I have had one of those weeks this week, continuing through today – with swimming lessons for my son and visits to my brother-in-law’s house followed by a birthday party at my sister’s house to look forward to. I know I will have fun, but I’m tired. Thankfully tomorrow will be more restful – my boys are going to take me out for lunch after church and then home to kick up my feet. I’m so looking forward to it.

    1. I hate it when life is so busy that even the fun stuff feels like a commitment Alyce 🙂 Thankfully this week was pretty laid back and I am starting to feel like my old self again – and even energy to do stuff I want to do! Like hit the gym and read!

  3. It sure looks like fun but I know what you mean about tired. Sometimes it takes a few days of ‘nothing’ to be able to relax again.
