Juanita, on the right, was our "in-house chef" for the weekend. Eva, on the right, was her right hand gal. They did an admirable job feeding all of us delicious meals and we hope to see more of Juanita at our camps and retreats!

Fancy kitchen, huh? It isn't the Hilton, but we're very happy with it, especially now that it has been expanded, thanks to Dennis Kirsch, who came down from Canada with his wife Sharon, and for several months worked to make our kitchen bigger. So, if you think it's tiny now you would have seen it before! We're so grateful to Dennis and others who did this labor of love!

Our scrap booking - or card-making - workshop was a HUGE success! We just put out paper, cards, scissors, glue, punches, plus a lot of other goodies, and the ladies went to town! Some gals spent most of their workshop time right here and went home with some great treasures!

Mints! I hadn't made these before and was the one "leading" the workshop, so by the third round, we had it down! Such fun and so yummy! On the first two rounds, we didn't add enough powdered sugar, so could only make little mint balls!

We also made chocolate no-bake cookies (on the left) which were a huge hit! Most gals here in Mexico use their ovens for storage ("You want a napkin? Sure, I'll get one out of the oven for ya!"), so by using this stove-top recipe, they could take it home and easily do it themselves! No cookies were left over either!
