The Signal Retreat

It's been almost a week since the last of the Signal family departed CO, but I wanted to say thank you to them (and of course the Snooks!) for an amazing retreat.

To sum up the experience...

brunch at Main St. Cafe, hiking, horseback riding, napping, reading in the sun, watching the "two-headed monster" goldens play, Mel's tilapia over spinach & veggies, beef tenderloin, steak (perfectly grilled by Tony), corn on the cob, peach crisp, fantastic wine, being saved from a bear by the yodeling of a cowboy poet, witnessing the brand-new enthusiasm of a two-week-old baby Icelandic, barn kitties, shooting skeet, ATVing through the hay fields, tenting it with Stony (for one night anyway!), campfires, s'mores, the brightest stars I've ever seen, a brief & rainy game of volleyball (thanks for humoring me y'all!), a delicious lobster dinner, group phone call to Vince, Philip's enchiladas, Meredith's beans, Janna's margaritas, archery, Snook's Crook's shrimp & grits, looking at wedding dresses online with my Signal ladies, Meg's chili & Stony's cornbread casserole, beef fajitas, Independence Pass, feeling my blood pressure raise at the Devil's Punchbowl...in the words of Miss Melanie Keller, "It wasn't awful!"
