It is amazing how a few days away can recharge your batteries. As you can tell from my last post, I am sick of snow and the below normal temps in my native Tennessee. Right now, I am in the middle of a "three weekends away" reset from winter to spring. Last weekend I was on a Friday night to Sunday noon women's retreat in Pleasantville, Tennessee. (Even sounds restful, doesn't it?) I was able to get away from the stress of life, including cell phones, and get close to nature, friends and God. Back to work and snow for three days and then Jerry and I flew out to Las Vegas on Thursday. I don't really like Las Vegas -- not exactly a place to go to relax -- but Jerry had never been. It took us a couple of days to just "go with the flow". The highlight of the trip was a helicopter trip at sunrise over the Grand Canyon! Spectacular! On Sunday night, our last night in Las Vegas, we moved from the Luxor to The Venetian to stay in a suite some friends had reserved but had never used. When we got to the hotel, they were overbooked so they upgraded us to a 1,400 square foot one bedroom, 1-1/2 bath, three TV suite. The timing was perfect since we were so tired. We have enjoyed our short, little stay in this beautiful place.
Today we are back home for three more days then we are off to East Tennessee to spend a long weekend with our grandkids. We have not seen them since Christmas so our arms are hungry for hugs. We are now bracing to go from 60's back to 40's with a chance of snow again this week in Tennessee. Oh, well, at least it is now March and spring cannot be far away.
