We weren't sure if we were able to make it this Summer but it came around, we were able to return to one of my favorite places to be, Black Butte Ranch in Central Oregon. First stop: The deck ~

Surrounded by mountains and desert, rivers and streams, it's pretty darn glorious. More pictures to come! (The Wi-Fi is so-o-o-o slow here. But it reminds me to slow down myself ;-> ) Let's get going with our weekly Virtual Girls Night Out and have fun!
For our weekly Friday night blog hopping party all you need to make this party complete is to grab a beverage of your choice (cocktail recipe below for inspiration) and your fuzzy slippers!

Well, no game tonight. Not yet anyway. I'm on vacation so let's see if a little hike will get my "game creating" juices flowing. Happy Virtual GNO!
