Birthday Retreat

How many girls get to spend their 67th birthday on a retreat with their 90-year-old mother and 44-year-old daughter in the mountains of North Georgia in autumn?

I feel so lucky!

I'm sitting on a deck overlooking the beautiful Lake Chatuge surrounded by mountains.

We had lunch in Cleveland, stopped at a roadside cider and boiled peanut stand in Helen, and dinner last night at a nearby resort lodge to celebrate our three birthdays.  (Carlene's was in August, but she's made it last all year.)

Thanks so much for your birthday texts and e-mails and phone calls!  It was a wonderful day!
