girls weekend away
I had a girls' weekend away with some of my besties at a sweet little lake house that belongs to my friend's mom. It's sandwiched between a perfectly tiny lake, Legge Lake- hence the legs, and a river. We took one short boat ride, and then the cool, damp weather kept us inside the rest of the time. We flopped around on big pillows by the roaring fire watching Sixteen Candles and eating too many snacks. Jake Ryan, you handsome devil, where have you gone? Apparently to Pennsylvania to make furniture. Sigh. Love that.
A few (too many?!) beers and glasses of wine (and something resembling an adult cherry limeade) were consumed which in turn produced much laughing, dancing, old story telling, and other such merriment.
It was really, really fun. It's good to have these sorts of friends. And then Sunday, feeling all thankful, I came home to read this. So...
Girls? Are you reading?
I love you guys.

Sounds simply wonderful! I was given a t-shirt last year from my brother which touted, "I Love Jake Ryan." Very interesting to learn where he is now.

hey, have you ever read/heard the story of the girl who started writing letters to john hughes back in the eighties...she did an interview, or a book, or something...after he died.
they started writing back and forth and she actually sort of influenced some of his movies...at least that's how i remember it.
i'll look it up.
anyhoo.
this looks like such a gorgeous spot to be with friends. i just did that on saturday too!
