At last

Finally, we are there. Today many Scquilters converged on Glenelg and filled the nearby motels and hotels. Screams of delight, much hugging and kissing as old friends met and new friends were welcomed into the circle. A few nervous virgins (first time retreaters) hung back, not sure what to do or say, but it didn't take long for them to be drawn into the warmth and friendship that Scquilters is all about.
Tonight about 100 girls and a few partners dined at a local restaurant and ate their way through a delicious buffet meal. The staff probably wondered what had hit them.
