It's time for the Anderson Island recap! I went there with my friends for a little woman and wine time. We had a blast! I took a ton of pictures so I've decided to do this in parts, starting with the most important part, the friends. I debated whether the most important part was the wine tasting or the friends, but only for a fraction of a second. The wine tasting wouldn't have been as fun without the friends!
I spent a wonderful weekend with my girlfriends. Every woman should have girlfriends. Every woman should have girlfriends like these. We share a long history. We share the same ideals. We share the same attitude about so many things. We share a lot of conversation when we are together. Seriously! We talked so much and we talked about EVERYTHING! The only time we stopped talking was when we were sleeping. We also share many laughs. I really love these women!
Jennifer took this really great picture of me.
Here is the cabin we stayed in. I took both these pictures from the beach.
Jennifer, Jude and I arrived Friday evening. We unloaded, made some food and watched a movie called Bottle Shock. If you love wine (or if you just love Alan Rickman) you need to watch this movie. It was so good. I learned a few things about wine and was reminded again why Alan Rickman is one of my favorite actors. Bill Pullman is also very good in the movie.
By Saturday morning Kristin, Sherri and Fred had arrived. We started right in on the wine drinking. Just kidding. We waited. Kinda.
Saturday was still a little chilly with mostly hazy sunshine, but that didn't stop us from sitting out on the deck!
There is one thing about all of us that is probably a lttle strange for women. We are not girlie. For the most part none of us wear make up, although we do all shave. I have always painted my toenails, especially for the summer. I used to get my fingernails done too, but then finances became a little tight and I had to give up nails and lattes. Jennifer recently started getting pedicures so she thought it would be fun to bring some polish for the weekend!
She got busy doing Kristin's and Jude's toes for them. The rest of us already had our nails done!
Don't they look pretty?! I really wish I would have taken a picture of all of our feet, all of them together! That would have been a great shot.
Sunday the weather was amazing! We spent most of the day out on the deck and we savored every minute of it!
Isn't the view spectacular?! I'll be doing a view and beach post later in the week!
Tomorrow will be all about the wine!
Awww...y'all look so happy and relaxed! Exactly what the beach is for!

What a great trip! And you all look like you had a blast and are all sorts of relaxed and happy. Girlfriends really do make the world a better place.

Oh I am headed to a Gal Pal weekend Thursday morning .. and guess what? Everytime we get together we all stand in a circle bare foot and someone takes a photo of our feet! One will be taken this coming weekend even tho this trip we will be only 4 . usually we're 5 or 6 but one of us has twinz graduating high school in a month and that put a crimp in her getaway $$ .. and another cant make it cause of job issues .. so we'll be 4 ... but I promise we will talk just as much as if we were 5 or 6 ...

What a lovely getaway and the pictures are amazing! Also, I love the polished tootsies. I have to polish mine because no one wants to see aging yellowed toenails, lol. And, you have such pretty feet! I have big old flat Hobbitt Feet & would give an appendage to have feet as pretty as yours!
So happy to hear that you had such a grand time...
