Weekend Highlights...

The weekend was beautiful...I am mad at myself that I didn't take a photo of the "lodge" it honestly looked more like a castle. There was an indoor pool, hot tub, ping pong tables, dining room with endless food, great company and a host of outdoor events. We had a picnic lunch overlooking the lake Saturday and a clam bake as the dinner function Saturday night, where I kid you not, we had lobster and could go back as many times as we wanted. I think I had three lobster tails...Nicole thought they were gross (especially the slimy green gunk inside the belly) Howie continues to think they are messy and more work than they are worth, and I continue to think they are delicious.I really relaxed. And I ate way too much...but actually most of it was healthy, except the five servings of creme brulee at Sunday brunch. I did hike around the lake several times.

We went stargazing on Saturday night, and Sunday morning I got up to listen to Howie's talk, which was why we got this amazing all inclusive weekend away. He really does a great job speaking. It was great to listen to him. I think the last time I went to hear one of his talks was several years ago...

I enjoyed the company of old friends and made some new ones as well. I even got a consult poolside on my icky toenails on my right foot. I need to nail that fungus (sorry, no pun intended...)

Nicole came along and had a great time (except for hiking, she still doesn't like that, but she did enjoy the climbing wall...) and Tianna stayed home, which wasn't ideal, but did work out for her. The first social was Friday afternoon and then there were also two softball games and a birthday party. Ah, the social life...But we did miss her, all for her sister, that is.

It was a great environment to be in to practice my new found boundaries of living life in the present in slow mode.

Peace.
