Arizona, Take Off Your Rainbow Shades . . .
It was quite a weekend in Sedona, Arizona. The energy there is almost startling. It's not a soothing place. It has that wild river-rock / red rock thing going on - vaguely disturbing somehow . . . As beautiful as it is, I have to say that I'm happy to be home.
The trekking poles were SO worth every penny I spent on them - I hiked the Eagle's Nest trail in Red Rock State Park. That's the highest point in the park. It was a great hike and I did really well, for a city girl from an exceptionally flat city.
The retreat itself was great and I can't wait for Joan Anderson's new book to come out! So wonderful to see my Iona sisters, Tori and Cheryl again :-) Trip photos are still in the camera, but soon enough I'll have a few to share.
Last summer, when I knew that I was going to be going on this retreat, and that 
a number of my Iona sisters would be there, too, I started on a mission to make socks for them. I spent a lot of quality time last March, sitting by the fire in the dining room of the Argyll Hotel, quietly knitting my first pair of socks (there they are - Lana Grossa yarn, a basic sock pattern and two circular needles - I love them!). I enjoyed it so much that I spent a large part of the 2007 from late summer on, knitting socks for my Iona sisters who would be joining me in Sedona.

p.s. points to anyone who gets the obscure song reference at the beginning of this point ;-D
