Saturday night after dinner, some of us girls played Catch Phrase and just sat around a picnic table talking. We had candles all over the table and even had to use a flashlight to play the game but man what fun! We finished up the game around 11:00pm but 4 other insomniacs and myself stayed out by the campfire until 2:00am talking and laughing (and with NO drinking being done I might add!) I enjoy all of our camping friends but I find that times like a 2:00am campfire are when real bonds are formed and wonderful memories are really made!
All weekend long I kept saying how guilty I felt because the weather was absolutely phenomenal...
Yes, it really was 80 degrees outside, in the middle of January! I felt so guilty wearing shorts, watching people water ski on the lake, and knowing that many people in the United States (and lots of blogging friends) were stuck inside their homes due to bad weather. I know that many of you have literally been home bound for days and I'm not kidding, I felt guilty! I guess on weekends like this past one I can see why my husband doesn't want to move out of California. Not only do we have beautiful weather but we have beautiful friends and boy with a combination like that, it would be pretty darn hard to say good-bye.
Really and truly, I'm not trying to rub it in, but on the way home last night we had the most incredible sunset too. So incredible in fact, I pulled off the freeway and snapped a few pictures...
I've said it before many many times but I am continually amazed by God's artwork! We just need to take the time to notice it!

our weather here in MS hasn't been too bad, but then it hasn't been too good...lol..it changes too much, freezing in the night and early mornings then hot during the day.
I'm glad you had a wonderful week end and I just love the sunset.

Linda, it would be VERY hard to leave such a gorgeous place -- good friends, good times, and beautiful artwork provided by God Himself. Sounds Heavenly to me!
Don't feel guilty...you are one lucky lady, enjoy what you have. I sure do, but that is hard for others to believe, knowing that I live in the snow belt! I truly enjoy my summers and sitting around a fire...but I also enjoy the other 3 seasons.
I love your pictures and you can't beat a little girl talk until late into the night!
XO,
Jane
Glad you had such a good time! When we camped those late night talks over the camp fire were the best!
Enjoy your beautiful weather. (and don't feel guilty!) I'm about to go to work and we had freezing rain last night. I'm not looking forward to the drive.
Though I couldn't stay up til 2 a.m. ever, I can imagine how pleasant it was for you. Yes, the warm weather is divine. It's not quite that warm in AZ but still nice--75. Live is meant to be joyous and I think you've learned that well.
We all need times like that and some of us just done't get enough of them, you are a lucky girl! Gorgous sunset or is it a sunrise?, God's artwork is right!
80 degrees??? That's unreal, Linda! Here in Atlanta, we were snowed and iced in ALL WEEK LONG...it was pretty miserable after the fun wore off! Gorgeous sunset pictures...yes, GOD is amazing!
Aw Linda, don't ruin your good and fun weekend with guilt.
No reason to feel sorry for us over here freezing out hiney's off for days.on.end. No, no, don't feel guilty, for in due season we will reap!
;)
Actually today it is supposed to get in the 50's! hehe
80 degrees!! Wow, I think I need to move to California.
Glad to hear you had such a fabulous time with your friends. Love that sunset.
Hugs,
Donna

You shouldn't feel guilty! Go ahead, enjoy and it and feel free to even rub it in a little more - I can live vicariously though your warmth right? : )
good friends and good weather....that is a winning combination for sure.
what a fun get together it sounds like you had.
and I say....anything divulged after midnight certainly bonds people together.......and I love catch phrase.
Very beautiful pictures.
I am so glad you had fun with your camping friends.
And don't worry in August we will get to laugh...
