I had a day after returning from St. Louis to prepare for our annual Book Club Retreat at our Sundance Cabin.  We ladies look forward to this every year.  It’s a gentle time to relax, visit, work on projects and play games as we share what’s in our hearts with each other.

One of the fun topics of conversation this year was each of us describing our perfect day.  Another evening around the dinner table, we each told what meds or supplements we take and why.  That was pretty fun!  We’re enjoying aging together.

Cathy Duffin is preparing to serve a mission in Cambodia with her husband, Jim.  Lori Munk, now serving as an RS President, has welcomed twin grandbabies and is expecting another set of twin grandbabies.  Lori King was able to join us.  About a year ago she suffered a brain injury after falling in her garage.  Shelley is getting ready to sell her house and look for a new one.  Julie is also preparing to move to Provo/Orem and build a new home there.  Kristy works in the temple taking care of the prayer roll submissions.  Kennedy brought her famous homemade french bread.  Virginia dropped by for an afternoon.  We watched the movies, Dr. Thorne and Pollyanna.  We all are very different but we have so much in common.  We try hard not to talk about politics, but to share and uplift each other with the good in our worlds.  We missed those who couldn’t join us.

Shelley and Julie and I are working on a writing project from the Book of Alchemy.
