I have known it as a place for large scale events as the large wooden structure -- they say the largest in VA is owned by the Episcopalian Diocese. Did they rent out some of the outbuildings for a small retreat or was it held in some smaller venue?<br />Did you decide on Orkney Springs because of the website www.basyevortex.com. which is a fairly comprehensive description of the area, it's history & attractions. The basye vortex website shows the beauty & mystery of the area - did you hear of Orkney Springs through the basye vortex website coming all the way from CA or in some other fashion. Looks like you enjoyed your retreat. Glad you know of the aforementioned website as it does broaden one's point of view of the Indians who once inhabited the area and many other things. Hope all is well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809860968071467943.post-75737337007099496022011-06-21T10:48:03.838-07:002011-06-21T10:48:03.838-07:00Enjoy your retreat.

I love your blog ...You're a special soul Marie. I love your blog and your kind sharing spirit. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to us and for sharing your knowledge and creativity. I sometimes wonder how you 'do it'! lol <br />Taking care of a little person, they do grow up so fast. For me, I'll always have a child living at home because of the special needs she has (a 5 year old in the body of a 25 year old) and yes, it is hard to make or find time for yourself outside of 'work'. Even though we may love our jobs to create, produce, invent etc, it's the little pleasures in life that count. Those few moments of alone time are really important :) (but 'flying', I know what you mean! My stomach does the up and down just thinking about the take off and landing, haha)<br /><br />Have a tremendously Awesome! time with hearty laughter and joy. <br />xox,<br />TinaBeadcomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776363515279928998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809860968071467943.post-63638475839328583162011-06-18T06:34:02.967-07:002011-06-18T06:34:02.967-07:00Wishing you a fantastic time on your trip Marie!! ...Wishing you a fantastic time on your trip Marie!!

I hope you have gads of fun and come back with lovely things to dazzle our eyes. I hate hate HATE flying, but once I'm up in the air, I enjoy having an excuse to do nothing but sit while someone serves me drinks and mixed nuts. Safe travels!

One day I am going to be able to join you on a weekend gathering of women, oh such a fun time. Yes you and I are so blessed to be such a part of our grand babies growing up. "If they would just stay little til their Carter's wear out." All to fast they will be off to school and have no more time for grandma. I love you Marie, have a blast!<br /><br />(((HUGS)))Dedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821482775305463539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809860968071467943.post-30383255640561654732011-06-17T10:34:25.072-07:002011-06-17T10:34:25.072-07:00Have a wonderful time, Gamma!!

I absolutely love the paragraph about being a part of your grandchild's life and memories. I can't wait to quote it to both my best friend and to my s-i-l, both of whom are helping to raise grandchildren - no matter how tired that makes them. And, yes, that friend is one like you are joining this weekend - we love to spend time together and, Lord, do we laugh!! (It keeps us sane. I think!) I'm adding you to my bloglist now.Ramblin Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10370462257976522563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809860968071467943.post-57231718839429554702011-06-17T07:37:58.259-07:002011-06-17T07:37:58.259-07:00Your retreat sounds wonderful, have a relaxed, ins...Your retreat sounds wonderful, have a relaxed, insightful, creative time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454294761666408947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809860968071467943.post-32790093283589069962011-06-17T07:30:24.333-07:002011-06-17T07:30:24.333-07:00Enjoy your retreat Marie.
