SG's spring retreat in Branson, first weekend...

Carol Lumley, a former Louisiana resident, had a real King Cake delivered to the retreat, straight from New Orleans. What a fun treat!

Donna Derrick and Toni Walton try a slice of King Cake...and Donna was the one who found the "baby" in her piece of cake.

Winning "tickets" to use to try for the larger prizes is always one of the more fun portions of the retreat.

The three Carols -- Muellenschlader, Harkins, and Lumley. We couldn't have a retreat without them!

Judging the seven contest categories is always harder than it sounds, and it's fun to see what everyone has created.

First place contest winners...front -- Liz Tapelt, Amy Wissbaum, Tanya Calhoun; back -- Michelle Vomund, April Gray, Hazel Stuart, and Loana Evans.

Second place contest winners...Adene Smith, Donna Derrick, Bonnie Clair; back -- Amy Wissbaum, Melissa Chu, Nikki Johnson, and Kirsten Evans.

Three unknown crazy gals from Mansfield.

Sheri Tate, Liz Tapelt, Karin Rush, and Donna Cartner.

Karin and Debbie...thanks everyone for a wonderful time of fun and fellowship with a room full of creative, friendly, and encouraging women of all ages. We had an awesome time, and plan to do it all over again next weekend!
