A Retreat, anyone?

What is a beautiful place like this if not to be shared with others.

I've thought a lot about that very thing lately.

Instead of a new chapter of my life I am 

starting a new book.

Just like authors, there comes a time when it's

time to just end one book and begin another

in the continuation of the first.

I sit yesterday by my little piece of Bayou Jacob,

watching the sun go down, eating a bowl

of watermelon and journaling and I think,

I want to share this with many.

I walk the cemented pathways of what 

is roads for golf carts by day, and I listen to 

the crickets and frogs, I feel the cool breeze

as I walk over small wooden bridges and I think,

I want to share this.

I want this home to be a retreat for those HOBL and I 

love, friends and family.

I want to entertain those who come to visit 

by renewing my love of cooking and baking.

Anna and Dana came last weekend but unfortunately

I got sick and they had to leave early Sunday.

Next Thursday, Tiffy and my beloved god child, Tedi

are coming from Thursday to Sunday.

I can't wait to have them here.

I want us all to relax with no set agenda.

To enjoy all this place has to offer.

The walking paths, the swimming pool,

the things we will cook and bake together.

They will be the second visitors of many.

Everyone, call and make your "reservations"

The charge is... your relaxation.

The besties, Laurie and Ann and "the girls"

are coming for the day next weekend

and Laurie and "the girls" are coming for a long weekend 

soon also. Oh, these visits are getting me excited

and I believe, even HOBL, who loves talking to 

a bunch of ladies, is looking forward to company.

We have the space and what is all of this peace if not

to be shared. Yes, HOBL and I love our time just us 

but we also love visitors. 

Next Tuesday afternoon I will be entertaining KD's family 

here in Plaq. who all are anxious to see the house.

Soon I will be planning the same get togethers with 

my TES friends and also planning a 

sister/niece/Hugh pajama party!

Oh I am loving the excitement!
