I'm coming to the retreat. I'll be there the last week.

My wife will be around as well as per last time.

(Sorry, I messed up the personal reply--I didn't know it would just send the same message back.)

It is good to know, follinge, that you and your wife will be joining us in retreat this summer.  The monsoons just started yesterday, so be prepared for cooling afternoon showers on most days during the retreat.

If you are planning on attending this retreat, then do let us know of your intention, and do check in regularly, as there might be some last minute changes.

Thank-you, follinge, for an update on your plans.  I have sent you a PM on directions to the campsite.  I look forward to meditating with you and your wife.

" I will assume a free dispersed campsite is what you want, and I will track one down.  Typically I camp around Thumb Butte.  Campsite 9,10&11 will give us the most room and privacy, so I will head there unless I hear otherwise."

Yes, this works for me. Thank-you so much and looking forward to seeing you.

Just wanted to say a huge Thank-you for this retreat!

I had a great time and I learned a lot. Meditation practice has definitely picked up.

We explored many topics and I'll be posting here when I have more time.

I just got back to work as we stayed a night in AZ due to Sam's tiredness. Otherwise, she's fine and I'm at work now.

Hello, follinge.  I am glad to read that both you and Sam returned safely.  I am continually disappointed by my declining health, which limits my participation in meditation and dialog.  I am glad that you got enough out of the retreat to make the trip worth while.
