Food Fun, and Fellowship

A few weekends ago two of my dear friends Tara and Kelly Riddell, held a "Maidens Quest" Retreat in Renton and asked me to be their Pianist. Priscilla and I went and we had a wonderful time.

The Burwell family graciously offered to host us at their house, so that it would be easier to get to the church instead of having to travel back and forth each night.

The last day of the conference had different elective sessions: Napkin folding, Corsage design, Hair braiding, and Natural beauty.

Priscilla wanted to do the latter so we both went and made different natural "potions" like elbow scrub, hand exfoliant, and other interesting things.

After everything was over and we had all the conference things packed, we went out to dinner at a Thai restaraunt.
We all decided just to let Mr. Riddell pick and order everything, and by the end of the meal we were pretty sure he'd just about ordered everything on the menu because just as we thought we were finished, the waitress would bring out another platter, and after we had passed it around and finished, out came another, and another, and another, and another......( I think you get the point) it gave us all quite a laugh especially because she would put it right in front of Tara so there was quite a long line of (11)platters in front of her plate.

We calculated and it evened out that we had eaten 1 1/2heaping plates each, (which for girls is a lot)After we had finally finished we all agreed that we would probably have to roll out of the restaraunt.

The next morning being Sunday we went to the Burwells church, and after the early church service visited Starbucks for breakfast.
After Sunday School, we went back to their house where we all got changed to go to Alki (the beach in Seattle)

and then where did we go?...... Out to Lunch:)

After eating, we walked up and down the beach and took lots of pictures then Daniel came to take Me and Sill home. We stayed and talked for a while, walked to Starbucks, had fellowship for another hour or so, then we finally made our way home.

(If your wondering why we did so much eating well: The Riddells, Burwells, and Rebsch's are all from Texas, and we're from Oklahoma so.... must be a Southern thing.)
