Friday night and Saturday was our Annual Ladies Retreat at the Embassy Suites. All the Ladies get to escape for Friday evening and Saturday. Our guest speaker was Paula Torres (on the right), missionary to Brazil. The theme was Change My Heart, O God.
Rose did a beautiful job arranging all the details.
There was an 11:30 p.m. Whataburger feast after the meeting. Our room was one of the party rooms that we invited anyone to come and eat. So we talked and ate...
and talked and ate...

Caitlin went to a craft day at Stephanie's house and made some very special projects, including the flowers on the gift bag, the card, and the flower pot with all of the jewels.

Andrea Ly was Valedictorian with a 4.0. (I remember her as a baby.)
She is also Caitlin's piano teacher.
Brittany was happy to see her friend Kimberly and Kimberly is always glad to see to that "Brittany has hair".
Brittany decided to get in on the fun and has also been doing her wooden puzzles.
