Travels of a Book Loving Mom: Recharged at Retreat

Blessings

Living with Christ
Saturday's in p.j.'s with Savannah
to read a great book
a crackling fire in the hearth
Hanging with my sister Les
Our rituals at the beach-Dad's beignets, French Toast at Don Pedro's, Nick's on the Bay, Evening sunsets, S'mores every night, Mexican train dominoes, bike rides to the market, checking to see if the wash-out is open, reading a good mystery, Shaved ice from Frosty Bites, sticky rice and Won-ton soup from Royal Orchid, swinging on the front porch, going to the library, listening to great music LOUD, rain on the tin roof, laughing until we're crying, Savannah on the top bunk

Receiving Mom's letters
a clean sink

Recharged at Retreat

I just returned from a wonderful, renewing, uplifting, Spiritual retreat! There were around 35-40 ladies from all ages and walks of life. Beautiful singing....great fellowship...great food...great lessons learned!

Last night Shana spoke about unburdening our handbag (our life) of needless things and Carol spoke this morning on filling our handbag (our lives) with the gifts (fruits) of the Holy Spirit. It was just what I needed and I feel like my batteries are recharged and ready to go again. My compass has been readjusted!
