Mini Retreat

Sometimes the best way to relax and get some rest is to get away from it all. So we just got back from 3 days in the Poconos. A friend has a house there that she graciously invited us to enjoy.It was quiet and away from everything. I did nothing except read books, lie in the sun and take naps. Well, one day I went with Andy down to the pool, but I just sat there, too.

There is a lot of wildlife there and we saw a number of deer along the side of the road. They seemed almost tame. And a highlight, we actually saw a bear! We were driving back to our house from visiting the grocery store, when just ahead a bear went galloping across the road. I had just mentioned to Andy that I wondered if there were bear in the area, and there was the answer to my musing!Sorry...no picture of the bear!

Mom,
You are going to need to post some pictures of you at work or it is going to look like all you guys do is go on vacation. :)
Just kidding. I know you need it.

wow, that's cool you saw a bear. Ricky was wanting to see one when we were away this weekend but I was fine not seeing one, especially since we slept in a tent:)
