A glorious weekend!

Well, we had a wonderful weekend with the ladies...just the ladies. No hubbies, no kids! We all needed a break and it was awesome!

It started really on Thursday for me and my sis. We did the shopping and got the house ready. In the middle of the night, the girls got here (3 of the remaining 4) and we all slept in the next morning! When we finally got ready, we left for Kimmswick, MO and did some shopping with the 4th member to come (for a total of 6 of us). After doing some shopping, we left for St Louis and sort of saw the arch...I got us lost (sort of) and we ended up in Illinois! LOL Anyway, we saw the arch and then went to dinner at a Brazilian restaurant...Yemanja Brasil.....A truly wonderful and delectable experience! It wasn't in the best place of St Louis, but it was worth it! HA!

After getting home that night we played games till the wee hours and then slept in again!

On Saturday, we went to Crown Valley Winery and toured the facility and tasted some wines. WOW! I found some I really like! :)

After we got home, we ate supper and played more games. On Sunday morning we had a small service here at the house and then everyone started leaving.

Poor K ended up with her rental car breaking down on her about 20 minutes away from my house, so G and J and Dad went to take her to the airport. She made it fine and all is well.

We are so blessed to have friendships that will last time and distance....AND blessed to have husbands who allow us the joy of getting together to renew old friendships! We're planning this again for 2 years from now...I can hardly wait!

I saw a sign this morning on the way to preschool with Clayton that said:

Blessed is he who finds the beauty when on a detour.

LOL I just thought this was too coincidental NOT to put it in here! :)

excellent summary of the weekend. We loved being there! Thank you so much for letting us invade your house. And YOU didn't get us lost alone, it was totally a cooperative effort.

Boing!
