This weekend my parents came to visit. And yes, my dad fixed stuff in my home. (I've mentioned that I'm not particularly handy in past postings) My dining room light was flickering and magically fixed itself when they were here. Really, it's been doing strange things for a few weeks and it stopped on it's own. Then I had new shelves installed in my guest room closet.
You would have laughed if you saw me in Home Depot, calling my dad and asking what other supplies he may need for the project. I have to admit that I finally learned what a hacksaw looks like. I know what a saw is, so you can't tease me about that. Come on, I'm not that bad. I just didn't know what made something a "hacksaw" instead of any old run of the mill saw.
I'm pretty happy with the way things are set up now. I just need to purge some of my books...it's so hard for me to downsize my book collection.
This weekend I attended a women's retreat at the Alderbrook Resort sponsored by Elements of Power. The room was filled with powerful, successful women who were trying to find more balance in their lives. The goal is to integrate feminine and masculine power, so we can enrich each aspect of our lives. The retreat was much more intense than I imagined, but the ability to analyze our traits, behaviors, thoughts, and tendencies was deeply empowering. Plus, the resort was beautiful, relaxing, and warm. It was the perfect balance of restoration and training. 
I'm a little behind in posting. These photos were taken after our track workout on Tuesday, May 15th. We celebrated Kristen's big birthday and her moving to Colorado. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
