I spent this last weekend with my two buds of 20 years!!! They drove down from the Chicago area and I drove up from Atlanta to meet in the cool and beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. Linda is a lovely dark haired beauty with two young children, Shelley is a beautiful blonde who is single and has a busy, busy life and I'm the one who's had a few husband in the past, happily married now and my children are grown (oh yes, there's those adorable grandchildren). The three of us are in some ways very different, but we connect and we complement each other. Most of all -no matter what - they have been and always will be - there for me! Now that's a really good thing!!! I'm blessed to have a lot of friends - my Longhorn crowd, Scrap Divas, Work Friends, City Girls and Church Pals - Lucky Me!
They met many of my 100's of cousins, we all enjoyed some fabulous food, danced at a Cowboy Redneck Honkey Tonk (oh yeah! Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy!!), visited Biltmore, enjoyed an outdoor church service with a good ole boy Southern Baptist preacher-followed by a pot-luck of delicious proportions, drove the Parkway and shopped just a little. Whew! Add to that lots of talking and staying up late! What a wonderful, refreshing and rejuvenating time we had. Of couse, I had post vacation blues for a few days upon my return, but we have vowed to make this a yearly retreat...hmmmm....what can we get into next???

You look like you guys had such a wonderful time. I love Asheville, NC. It is just a magically place in the mountains. Yearly events are fun to look forward to. We all need something in the future to dream about.
