Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Back from retreat and ready to go.!! Couldn't find you anywhere Melody, you must of crawled out of the bag after we got there and got lost in the area, it was really beautiful and wonderfully inspiring. Hope you made it home ok. ha wish all of you could go to a retreat it would really help. If you know of any place contact Elaine and maybe we can find one closer to go to, and if Terri could do it, we would be so lucky. Elaine and I roomed together and had a very good time and think she came back really inspired too. So watch out your in for a new beginning. What a wonderful group of girls were there. Especially the ones from La. they stood their ground and waited out the storm with us even tho their houses and family might have been in danger. I couldn't have made it without them. Elaine I hope the people that got our room enjoys it??? Talk to you all later. Oh by the way my husband gets to come home from hospital Monday, so have to get ready for him now and change my ways.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Barbara, I definitely want the phone number even though I am trying to find something down lower in the state. I will save you email in case nothing down here pans out. Thanks, Elaine Re: Retreat Hi Elaine, There are two places that I know about.....one is in Midlothian, TX. We had a TOPS retreat there many years ago. I taught the crafts that year......had about 91 people at the retreat. It is called Camp Hoblitzelle (think this is spelled correctly). It's a nice place.....swimming pool....and other things to do., plus has a motel also. The other place is Mt. Lebanon Baptist Encampment which just happens to be just down the road from my house. It sets on about 500 acres or better. They also have a swimming pool, lots of walking places, and also have motel facilities as well as lodges. If you want the phone numbers for Mt. Lebanon, let me know and I'll get it for you. I worked there for about 8 years. I've mentioned this place several times to Shirley, and also sent it to another lady (can't think of her name), who handles retreats etc. BarbaraEMAIL TEXAS-STYLE!!
