PALs Retreat

Well so much for keeping updated. We've just been doing too much stuff. We've went to the Aquarium, Pirate Show, shelling, shopping, and who knows what else. I also survived my first PALs retreat. I was so nervous Wednesday. Mom was picking on me. I finally got up the courage to go over. Kathy from Ohio showed up and I've met her two times in the past so I felt like at least I knew someone. Thursday felt totally different though. I loved talking to each person and everyone was so much fun. Sue, Laura, and Teresa from ESC were there as well. I was so glad to meet them finally. It felt like we were just old friends right away. There was 60ish people that attended. The retreat was totally worth it and I would definitely suggest if you haven't been to check it out. It was worth every cent! I received so many wonderful things. I will try to take pictures when we get home. Just too much going on here. Yes we are still in Myrtle Beach. It's such a fun area we are staying some extra days. We are going to leave here probably Thursday. We have a few more things we really want to check out.

Anyway the picture above is my progress on the Pirate Dragon. I stitched over 1,700 stitches during the retreat. As you can see there is only that square left to finish! I can't believe the end is really in sight. The ladies said I have to bring it back next year framed. They all want to see it finished just like I do haha.
