I urge each and every one of you to take the time to get away for a girls week end. I almost didn't go and I am so glad I went!!! Eleven "church ladies" at a house in the woods, on a lake for two days. It's even more fun than it sounds. It was a 4.5 hour drive which probably sounds crazy to you east coast boomers but it was worth it. We LAUGHED, we cried, we ate like queens, we skied, hiked, snow shoed and even made snow angels under a brilliant half moon. We all came away refreshed from being in God's glorious creation (towering evergreens covered with snow under deep blue skys)and being in each other's company. Start planning your trip.
