Just got back yesterday from my Shakertown retreat....what fun we had...and I am exhausted. We stayed up hooking to the wee hours of the morning and I had to be up to go to breakfast with the early crowd in the morning.

I can't wait until the Williamsburg retreat and I also am planning a Berlin, Ohio Amish Country retreat next Fall. The date will be announced this week.

I am off to try and get my things put away and start organizing and getting rid of things for the move that will be taking place in the next few months.

I leave next Wednesday for the Shaker retreat!!! I am so looking forward to relaxing for a few days....what more can you ask for GREAT friends, GREAT food, GREAT wool and a GREAT place to relax. WE had so much fun last year hooking by the fire in the evening...Larry Ault always made sure we had a good fire going every night. I am going a couple of days early so I can go antiquing before the retreat starts.
