a while back i went to my first ladies retreat with my mom, jack (of course) and denise rosenbaum. we had a lovely roadtrip to camp chetek in chetek, wisconsin. we stopped along the way in northbranch, mn to go outlet mall shopping. we had another stop in barren, mn where i suggested we check out the amish furniture and art shop. my mom bought jack some amish furniture -- a rocking chair and a wooden toy. lucky little man.at the retreat we had a lot of fun. wish i could say i learned alot, or that i had a religious heart-touching breakthrough or something. i didn't. better luck next year.:) really, i actually feel guilty. i was supposed to have a learning experience and instead i had a lovely time making flower pens and taking rides on a haywagon and pontoon. i was all primed for some deep intellectual growth and some serious Bible pounding and instead i got a lot of nice talk. it's not fair, really. the men's retreat is going to have an actual speaker who is going to speak on finanaces. i bet they get syllabuses or even cd's. that's what my husband comes back with. i want to go again next year... but i am going to make sure that they have a real speaker, not a very nice wife of a man on the faculty at maranantha baptist Bible college.

you came all the way to the nether regions of wisconsin and didn't see me? oh well... its a fair ways to drive.
like you know... only about 2 hours away. :P
doll face, i wish i could have stopped in to see you! but my mom was on a mission. we HAD to shop, but seeing you wasn't her priority.:) and she was driving. i had no control over the situation. now that i have a car that's reliable for long road trips, i hope to see you soon. maybe we should get together for a Christmas shopping excursion to ikea? mall o' america? or a trip to the museum just because? what do you think?
