Retreating with the S'mores and More

If you're new to my blog, let me explain that the S'mores are a group of my quilting besties who decided back in the early 2000s that we wanted to eat some more, laugh some more, and quilt some more -- hence the name.  We've been retreating at least once if not more times a year ever since.  

This week is our Fall retreat at Loucon, a Methodist retreat and training center near Louisville, Kentucky.  Because of my mobility issues, I didn't think it was wise to attend but, since most of them live in other parts of Tennessee and Indiana, I really longed to see them again.  So DH drove the 4 hours to take me to Mecca.  I took them a cauldron of my world-famous chili -- and a good time was had by all!

It was SO nice to see everyone and be inspired by their creativity.  I didn't take any photos, so I'm going to steal some that Kim has been taking.
