The Retreat






Well, the 1st Annual Bond Women's Retreat has come and gone.  We sure had a fun time planning it and we are glad that you had a fun time coming to it.  Here is a look back on some of the behind the scenes and also some of the fun that was had.  Thanks to everyone that helped and everyone that came. 
We made and ate yummy stuff.  Including cake balls, Grandma Lucille's Chocolate Cake, fudge and date candy. 
Pretty as a picture.  These look like State Fair cupcakes.  Great Job mom!  No wonder everyone loved Lucille's cake. :)
Thanks for making your mom's fudge recipe Nana. It was yummy. And thanks Dana and Lanny for making our cute fudge paddles.
The decorations were super cute with Butterflies all around. Grandma Lucille's ironing board made the perfect display for all her pictures and her crotched items.
Lots of fun handouts.  The butterfly charm was from my mom's class on Butterflies.  The little buckets were from Brittany's class on "Filling your Bucket".  The Butterfly bookmarks were from Nana's class about Grandma Lucille.  The tile was from my class on "Joy in the Journey".  The bath salts and washcloths were from our facial class and the survival kits Jillian made as our take home gift.  Thanks to all the teachers preparation and the great handouts everyone made.
Our awesome service project:  Making a baby blanket.  Thanks for helping everybody.  It was fun to watch all your helping hands.  Even though some of you didn't love it some little baby is going to really appreciate it.
 
Great Location!

Fun times together.
It was so wonderful to learn more about this amazing lady.  I feel like I know her so much better now.  Like Nana said she was one to be proud of and I will keep trying to make her proud.

Marli thanks for the great pictures and reminding me just how much fun I had and How much JOY I found there. I feel alot closer to Gramma Lucille and as we went to the temple this last Saturday,to be with Uncle Howard as he was sealed to her and Granddaddy Marion. I really could feel her happiness. I know it was a special day for all of us. Thanks to all who came and make the great efforts to participate! Love ya, Lisa
