During retreat we played Pink Elephants – basically a quick and easy game of charades.  We last played on fall retreat 2004 and we’ve been laughing about Fran’s vampire bat ever since.  Check out her newest moves along with a mighty impressive moonwalk by Lisa!

Oh Boy!  It seems like just yesterday that we were skipping down the beach at Goose Rocks – but that was a whole year ago!  Luckily, we received a return invitation from our wonderful and gracious hosts.  And so we hit the beach, the Dom and the Indian food once again:-) Oh Oggi, my Love... This girl just shines! Twins! So HAPPY to be here! The morning after breakfast buffet... Dani's meaty breakfast strata! Who ARE these people? Singing to unsuspecting passersby... A bunch of posers:-) Beach blanket boogie, Beth? Getting left behind:-) A hunky "dory" day for a walk on the beach!

The clouds parted and the rain disappeared just in time for Saturday’s Strawberry Festival!  It was a day worthy of song, and sing we did!  The audience was lovely and the music flowed.  Take a listen to Dani singing, “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye”…

Here the group sings a song new to their repertoire, Peter Gabriel’s “Shakin’ the Tree”…

Another new addition is Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence”…

We were off on retreat this weekend. We headed off to a little hide-away in Kennebunkport where we ate, drank, and celebrated a very special birthday for our Nancy!  

Lisa put together the perfect theme – Princess! – and then she decorated the house, dressed Nancy up in a boa and tiara we were ready to party!

Let’s see… Nancy opened some perfect princess gifts:

Picture 1There was a frog…
