You CAN do your own retreats at M*. There's also another retreat center in the same town, only 2 years old if I remember right. It's *really* nice. Everything is one level, no stairs, and it's built with quilters in mind. It's not within walking distance of the shops like M* is, but it's just a couple of minutes drive.

Last summer it was sweltering across the entire united states. Here in Florida it was brutal, I play a lot of golf and I thought I was going to melt. Our golf carts have fans in them, I decided to buy a few extra. I've taken a fan to retreats and sewing days and it really helps a lot. If I could pick a place for a retreat I'd go to the mountains in Arkansas, or to the UP in Michigan.

Several churches in our area take turns hosting an annual retreat and they’re always fun. I was one of first to arrive with my machine, etc. First timer at this church. I asked where I should sit ? and I was told “anywhere is great” so I picked my spot and got all set up. At this time others began to arrive and at this point the same woman tells me I can’t sit there so I have to move. Grrrrr !
