Womanly Weekend

This picture of Claire and me 

was taken 8 years ago.
It was taken on a beautiful day in South Fork, Utah.

It was just as beautiful today when we said

goodbye to all the dudes in the family

as they embarked on the annual deer hunt.
They depart for three days to enjoy their masculine retreat, and

we gals hang out together, too.

Tonight, we met at Pages' house for dinner and a sleepover.

I love my family, I love where I live, and I love being a woman.
What joy I feel in all of those simplicities.
Tomorrow, Jane and I plan on picking apples from our burdened

tree to make pies and picking grapes off the vine for juice making.

Have a womanly weekend
from my house to yours.

Do you love being a woman, too? Read this.
