The weather was perfect, the trees had turned and the ladies were exceptional. 
As one of the escapees put it, noone fussed or cried! That is the way it should be!
The food was excellent and one of the greatest things about the Escape was that we didn't have a structured agenda. Most of the ladies who participated in the Escape are workers in the church and simply needed a break from responsibility and expectation.
All that was really expected of anyone was 'have a good time.'
As you can see from these pictures the Miller Ranch Retreat is a beautiful facility and the ladies who attended to us were so accommadating! The food was wonderful as well.
I doubt seriously that anyone rested. I know that I did not, having slept only between 6am and 7am!
And amazingly enough these ladies were cooperative when it came time to indulge me! I asked that each one of them pose for a picture as well as this great group picture!
They had to take my picture, which I am not accustomed to. The shoe was on the other foot for once, it didn't fit too well. I like taking the pictures better than having the pictures taken!
