Retreat Pictures

Below this post is the full story behind the pictures...

This was where I had my overnight personal retreat this year. The Farmstead Inn is a great place to stay. Very clean, very quiet - and yet very BIG! It's just down the road from the Shipshewana flea market and all the little shops. And look what a beautiful travel day I had when I left! :)

My room had a couch (which was also a hide-a-bed, but I didn't need it for that). That's where I sacked out to read my book.


And of course - what good is a retreat without a place to journal??

My suite (please remember that I virtually never get to travel, so when I do, I like to treat myself to a nice space) had a kitchenette, which was very helpful, since I elected to not leave the hotel once I got there.

The famous silverware. (Explanation in post below.)

My free coffee from the lobby!!

Who took the pictures?

Most of those were taken on a timer. A few were the old "stretch out the hand" trick.

That sounds and looks like it was wonderful. I need a retreat, for a year. Wait, that's a sabbatical. But I would want to get paid though. Is there such a thing? :O)

Uh, Bekah?

The pic of the drawer does not show the tray of plasticware. It looks like an empty drawer. Maybe you should explain that or something, cause I was totally confused. Of course, that's not too hard to do.

It look like a great place though!

Tina - Well I read that Guy is on sabbatical right now. Maybe Bill could help you out with the paid time off??

Tsofah - Stupid scan of picture! lol. You can see it better in the real thing. Black silverware/dark green tray - not a good combo, I guess. There really is a tray of black plastic silverware in the drawer. I do promise! :)
