Kathy writes, "Spring in the mtns means only one thing... Our annual Girls Week out. We rent a cabin for a week and we are just  "going to have fun".  We have been doing this for over 20 yrs. and it is just so good to let your hair down, relax and reminisce with your girlfriends and laugh over the crazy things we use to do. We all get so excited about this outing. The date is set in stone so everyone knows not to schedule anything during that last week in April. After our trip we are all refreshed and ready to get back to work...well maybe!!!"
