sheep thrills retreat


this was the most extraordinary weekend ever. my mom and I went to a knitting retreat which is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. located in Camp Meeker, CA, Saint Dorothy's Rest is a retreat-haven. Owned and operated by the Episcopal Church, there are several house and cabins and a main mess hall for community dining. we stayed at Lydia's House which is this massive house perched at the top of the mountain. mom and I (and many) bunked together and there was a fabulous kitchen located within our house. the retreat ran Friday evening through mid-day Sunday and we were fed super-hearty, super-healthy meals in the main mess hall. we had a healthy supply of coffee, wine and good munchies at our house. the company was amazing as well as the talent. spinners, weavers, crocheters and knitters. it was a weekend to remember and I will do this again and again!! I loved every minute!! thank you Mum!!!!
