off to a retreat

I am headed to Winthrop Washington tomorrow for a two-day spiritual retreat with 30 other women. Shepherd will be coming along of course, but even so I am still looking forward to the solitude and quiet. It seems pretty informal and unstructured. Eat when you want, walk when you want, pray when you want. No T.V's, no cell phones, nothing to make noise (except the 5 month old baby of course. He turns 5 months old tomorrow!) Just our own little slice of silent heaven. Stay tuned.........

I just might come back ready to abandon my family and join the Daughters of Charity. Or, as Paxton says, not probably.
