Another brainstorming retreat has come to an end. We work hard at this retreat. We play hard at this retreat. And we pray hard at this retreat.
This was retreat #16 for the majority of us. We have been the same 11 for about 7 years. Since our first year (2003) we have added four new members and said goodbye to three. And every year, these sisters of my heart become more and more dear to me.
Since my book is due to my editor in about three seconds (okay, not quite that soon), I am settling for photos from the retreat for my blog post. Enjoy!
From left: Sharon Dunn, Tamera Alexander, Robin Lee Hatcher, Karen Ball, Gayle DeSalles, Janet Ulbright, Sunni Jeffers, Sandy Sheppard, Francine Rivers, Tricia Goyer, and Brandilyn CollinsIn case you’re wondering, we were all trying to match the face of the guy on the tree. Grrrrr.
Should I be singing “All by myself….”Brainstorming session in the morning, and I’m always freezing so zipped up in my hoodie with a blanket on my lap.In downtown Coeur d’Alene, we discovered a shop with costumes. Fun!! I went for the big hat from yesteryear.And never turn down wearing a cute mask!!! That’s me in the middle with Tamera Alexander and Sunni Jeffers.Some of our “tribe” like to hang out with a moose every now and then.So pretty!!!
