Teasure Hunt and Retreat

Hi everybody,
I hope that everybody had a good weekend. Ours was busy, interesting and very good! I went to a ladies retreat at Lake Russell State Park in Elberton, Ga. with our church, Kevin and Caleb had company with his cousin and his girlfriend coming from North Carolina, and Josh went to Aunt Brenda's for the weekend. I knew sense the beginning of December that I was going to go on the Ladies Retreat. It was supposed to be at Bear Mountain Resort in Helen, Ga. in the mountains. Well on Tuesday of last week the people from the resort called Denise, our pastor's wife & events coordinator, to tell her that they were not longer in business. Three days before our retreat! They had gone bankrupt. So Denise and other staff members got on the phone calling everybody. Lake Russell said that they could accommodate all of us so that is where we went. They were 80 women from our church that went. It was a God thing that we ended up at Lake Russell! God showed up big time! We had a wonderful time and the weather was great! I went with a good friend of mine, Jana White, that has stage 4 breast cancer. You would never know looking at her that she is that sick. We are praying for her that God will choose to heal her. She is so special! We had a really good time.
Like I said Kevin's cousin and his girlfriend came down from North Carolina. He wanted to come and bring his medal detector to look around the farm. I think he thought he was going to find the family treasure. They got here at 9:30am Friday morning and started to look for a treasure. They searched all day that day and then all day Saturday. All they found was a dime, quarter and half dollar!
I had to change the sheets on our bed so that they, yes I said they, could sleep in our room. Kevin had to sleep in Josh's room. Frank, Kevin's cousin, is around 62 yrs. old and his girlfriend looked like she was this little dried up older lady. Possibly in her 70's. I guess she was in her 60's though. Kevin said she was very picky with her eating. I ate lunch with them before leaving to go to the retreat. We ate at Bar H BBQ in Royston. She ordered a BBQ plate and when it came she sent it back because it had stew and slaw on it. I am not sure why she didn't know that it came with that. They ate out while they were here because I was going to be here. I think that Kevin had a very interesting weekend.
Well I hope everybody has a good week. Love to everybody!

  1. I guess finding what you wrote is part of the treasure hunt because all I see is the title. I guess you enjoyed your retreat so much that you are still retreating. I have a blog now and I invited you but you or nobody else has read it or commented. We just got home from the revival at church. I am kind of tired so I will talk to you later. Hope everybody is doing well there. Love you!
