THANKS - 100% responses are IN!]]> 2023-08-10 19:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2659678098 Wow! 100% Response! kempster621 https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2660421470 Thanks to all... everyone posted their preference... we're gunna enjoy TWO great dinners.

From Louise:

"The Google Site seems a great communication tool, great way to ask questions and follow up. It seems a faster way to get people to answer than my email requests. I now have all Dinner preferences, which helps us a lot as we get meat/produce/refrig items a few days before the Retreat."]]> 2023-08-11 20:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2660421470 Daily Song? And cocktail headcount?? — Not sure how to get my name in here but this is from Gin Miller! https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2660429643 My friends, I am so excited to be with you all: to see some of you again & meet the rest of you. 

1) Since I have not heard from anyone that they DO NOT want cocktails made by me daily, I am assuming I am bringing enough spirits to make cocktails for 14 people each day??? + Some sipping spirits for the hardcore.

2) Music is one of my greatest passions & areas of knowledge in life & my husband & I's record/vinyl & album collection borders in the scary thousands. ;-) I was wondering what you all thought and if you'd be up for me sharing one song per gathering session each day?

Songs have been coming to me in my trying surgery times & some feel appropriate to share as a meditative, spiritual moment, like a prayer and centering exercise? I was envisioning just listening to a song together at whatever appropriate interval in our more intentional sessions, whether before we get started or to close? Whatever sounds good, if it does.

Just need a bluetooth to connect to speakers? ]]> 2023-08-11 20:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2660429643 Music: I like the idea of sharing songs. lbsorenson https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2662433251 2023-08-15 13:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2662433251 REMINDER FROM LOUISE - Bring a "Symbol" of your journey kempster621 https://padlet.com/kempster621/m035ap70pf3dc12n/wish/2667789231
  • FOR: Friday Evening Gathering 7-9pm
  • Bring an item that is a symbol, representing something you would like to tell the group about yourself in 3 min, maybe something we don’t know. Everyone’s item will be placed on a table in the middle of the room, like an altar before God. We will commit it all to God in a prayer afterwards, giving thanks for’ blessings’ and for seemingly ‘curses’ redeemed, and living long enough to recognize it.

    • From Louise's Schedule

    PS -     I've got mine picked out and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all... that's mine in the photo above.

We know John Peters and Linda are already out here in WA visiting family. Thinking of Carol + Bob Cruzen coming from Orlando, Janet + Mike from Atlanta, and Marg from Boston--maybe all affected by travel changes. Kemps and Ginny are leaving together from SF today and will be on the road, arriving Whidbey tomorrow (Th). Kristina is leaving Sante Fe on Th. Doug is close, 2hrs away, arriving Friday. Safe travels to all of you. Pls keep us updated of your changes. 
    For those driving, you could upload the WSDOT app for local road conditions and ferry alerts.

I feel blessed to have met everyone and heard all the heartfelt sharing.
    I thank you for your care and concerning for me and my son, Kip. I can report that as of yesterday he says he is a little better. Although he still has a very sore throat and constant headache, he is sleeping and eating better. Your prayers comforted me.
    Most fondly,
