Those lovely readers that may be wondering about the longer break in Mrs J’s day-on-day-off pattern of sharing may also remember this. Mrs J is now back from the Belgian Ardennes and the retreat having come close to working (gasp!) but fairly successfully dodging the bullet of a title and a job description. She loves to help out her friends but please-oh-please don’t mention the war! She’s not ready!

These retreats are like Vegas. Though only in the sense of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Otherwise it’s nothing like Vegas. But Mrs J thinks it’s ok to share a few of her own observations. Such as this lamp.

Marvelous, isn’t it?

Also, she would like to say that if something was missing from the retreat, it sure wasn’t tea.

And, that the experience was certainly worth the investment.

And, that because of the experience she’s even happier to be happy to be back home. And yes, that does make sense.

Life is good!
