I got back from the cabin last night and have a day and a half to get ready for my retreat. The visit with the relative from Ireland was wonderful. She and I had a great time up at the cabin playing scrabble on the deck, hiking around the lake, fighting off the mosquitos. She's the same combination of outdoor walker and indoor reader that I am, and we come to total agreement about how our time is spent with great ease. I took her to a gold rush town, and we had fun reading up on the history and were both thrilled to discover High Noon had been filmed there. It was dusty and hot, which was the perfect cowboy atmosphere. She even had a sasparilla with her lunch to stay in the mood. When we returned to the cabin we each read our copy of the history of the town and discussed the plight of women during the time.
Now, if I can just find my sleeping bag, special flashlight, and retreat clothes (formerly yoga clothes) I'll be set for another dusty, hot adventure, but this time in total silence. What a lucky gal I am!
