Prince of Peace Retreat

Annual Prince of Peace Women's Retreat at Cannon Beach. Lovely weekend with Anne and Deb-o and their church friends. I am an honorary Lutheran during that weekend :) This year's theme was "Who Do You Think You Are" and we did all sorts of exercises and projects looking at what makes us who we are, if we think others see us differently than we see ourselves, the gifts that Christ has given us in our characteristics, etc. We had some free time to walk along the beach, go through the shops and of course visit Bruce's Candy Kitchen.We stayed in the same cute little bungalow as last year. Quaint with original moldings and fireplace (maybe from the 40's?) but updated furniture. I think the wiring needs to be updated though. Anne blew a fuse with her hairdryer and ended up with a hand covered in soot!
We also had time to do some fun crafty things. Girls enjoy that kind of stuff. Made some really cute magnets with Anne's guidance and beaded an awesome green bracelet with Deb-o's beads. All of my other bracelets sucked, but the first one I made was perfect!

It was a wonderful weekend. As Anne would say, it was full of "fun, food and fellowship" :)
