It Was Good

I had a Girls Day away from Jamestown this weekend.   I started planning this about a month ago....   Capital Grounds Craft Fair, Spa Appointments and dinner at a nice restaurant.  This day was with some of my circle of best friends: Donna, Vickie and Ginny.

 

Although the day didn't go off completely as planned, it was good! We ended up coming back to town earlier than expected, then headed to VC for dinner at City Lights.  Great Food1  I highly recommend it to those looking for an out of town dinning experience.

 

We cruised VC for a little bit, then came back to Jamestown.   I wasn't ready to call it a night, so I cruised out to Pipestem with the sunroof open and the tunes blasting.   I was reliving the day and smiling.

 

I have such an eclectic group of friends, and I love each and every one of them.  We all have our idiosyncrasies but for the most part, we ignore them and embrace each other as the unique individuals that we are. 

 

We came to the realization that we need to do more of these types of things.  We, as women, tend to do everything for everyone...except ourselves.   So, we started planning our outings.   The next one will be in September and we'll be visiting a new Wine Bar in Fargo.  We're still looking for a designated driver.  We can use my vehicle but I'm not driving on that one!

 

Today I went out to the Pipestem and completed the North Ridge trail.  I did good and enjoyed the hell out of it, right up to the last hill where I wiped out.  The trail is beautiful and challenging and I did most of it on the bike.   I was in the mood for a challenge, and I got it.   Loved every minute of it but I was tired at the end.  I sat on the bench by the Rock and just watched enjoyed the quietness and beauty.   Did some thinking, some remembering, some tears, some laughter, and some smiles.  Don't know if it was hormones or just the need to release stress...but a good cry can do wonders.

 

Regardless ...it was a good weekend.
