Part 3 of JB - A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
"WOW 2008"
(Women Only Week)

Since Monday of this week, we have been enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.






We have talked, listened, prayed, cried, and laughed together. The time has been a blessing to all three of us and we are so thankful for each other.


After this time of relaxation and reflection we made

3 decisions:


1 -Announcing the Reorganization of WOW

A women only weekend retreat will be held in February beginning next year; henceforth known as the F-18s (Females over 18). The location of this event will be announced later on this year.

This decision was made after we realized how much we enjoyed our time together. In reflection, we realized that we should have set aside time to be together when we were raising our families.
Thus, we want this to be special for the women in our family with or without children.

The Theme for our 2009 F-18s weekend is:

"Soaring Above the Clouds "

We have great plans to make this event a memorable
experience for everyone who attends.

2 (Thanksgiving Beach House Bash)

We will gather for a Beach House Thanksgiving on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. This event will include gourmet meals and a talent show with CASH PRIZES so start practicing now. We will need someone to volunteer to be the Program Director. I nominate last year’s PD (Chesed and Karin Barbee).

3 (Deep Creek Camping Trip)

We will continue to have our annual camp-out at Deep Creek which will include a Photo Scavenger Hunt with CASH PRIZES.

(Potential family members must still pass the test!)

Looking for a volunteer to plan and organize meals and also someone to design and print T-shirts for this occasion.

MJ~ What marvelous ideas for your loved ones to incorporate as traditions...thereby making memories for generations. When I read the theme of your WOW, I thought "wow" because my current favorite praise scripture is Psalm 104. It soars with mental pictures of God's wonder and you probably knew verse 3 "...He makes the clouds His chariot and rides on the wings of the wind." I love it, and I love you! Rosemary

What a great "history" of your childhood for your children and grands to have. It is so fu for me to go back to where Mom and Dad were raised and hear them re-live their childhood! I think a WOW would be great for every family. We women need some time off to just be together! Love ya-Ginny
