Kath and I have been emailing back and forth and we're excited about the up-coming retreat in Texas! She and Paula will drive from Arkansas as it's only about 5 hours from them she said which is great. I fly into Dallas at 5:30pm Wednesday eve and Tisha is picking me up and then we're all meeting at a restaurant there for dinner. Then Kath, Paula and I will stay with Tisha that night and then we'll all head to Mineola the next day. I can't wait to get to this cool place! The pictures are wonderful...
It's an old house that has been converted into a retreat. This is part of the living room...here's the dining area..
Check out the craft area which comes with a light even, for everyone...
You'd have to be a crafter to know how important those lights are, lol. There is I think about 16 of us for the long weekend...
Here's the beautiful bedroom where Paula, Kath and I will be staying for 3 nights...
There are 4 beds in the room. Isn't it pretty?
We'll be eating out until Friday evening when the official retreat starts and I love the food in Texas so looking forward to that too.
Today I went shopping for a few things..headed to wonderful Whimsodoodle as I needed a white elephant gift to bring to the retreat and it's suppose to be scrapbook related...I picked out two neat things which I hope someone likes. Then I hit Office Depot as I needed to buy a new home phone. I bought my last one in a hurry and when I got home and plugged the damn thing in, it had no answering service and wasn't cordless...what was I thinking? So now I have a nice cordless one that is warming up as we speak that has everything.
I'm excited as we're getting an Office Depot right here in the NE shopping center which I will love!
Then I headed to Beall's and picked up a few things for the trip too so now I have some fun things to bring with me Wednesday.
I HATE how it gets dark so darn early, don't you? Geez, feels like the day is so much shorter...I'd never make it living in Alaska year-round!
Tomorrow is packing day and get the house ready for the dog sitter which will go very fast and then I'm meeting up with my old friend, Melissa, for dinner which will be fun.
I decided not to bring my laptop to Texas for a change. I can get email and facebook on my phone if I need it and that should be sufficient instead of lugging all the other with me so no blogging for sure.
All in all, a great way to start the week. Hope you had a great day too!
