There was laughter, chatter, stories, shopping, laughter, talking, shopping, laughter, pictures, teasing, stories, mad libs, laughter and some eating, too. But, there was no quiet, not a bit. Laughter shattered the quiet of the mountain groves and any moose we might have spotted were warned away. Quiet is not attainable when you have 5 women in a car, around a dinner, breakfast or lunch table, in a knitting group, whatever, wherever, 5 very talkative friends are not quiet. Quiet is not a menu item, quiet is elusive. Over hill and dale quiet was broken while we enjoyed the views, always talking and laughing.
Waiting for dinner at the Red Iguana...Shelley, Me, Cheryl, Gwen, Norma, Miriam .
Cheryl and Norma telling stories. Susan being silly.
Me, Norma and Kim after Kim fell in the water. Cheryl being silly.
Susan, Chris, Miriam and Lisa at SnB. Cocktails "A glass of wine" at Susan's.
Me, Norma, Shelley, Susan and Laurie brunching at Finns.
Q is for lack of Quiet while with the best of friends, grrls who cannot be Quiet or stop having fun. (Maybe I'm stretching but, I like my "Q".)
Here, have a Schnauzer or two. They're into some quiet time, on occasion. (May have to wear them out first!)

There was an awful lot of the silly going on! How funny to have a Q post that illustrates what it isn't!

It is just a shame you all had to put your "happy face" on. It appears you endured your time together very bravely.

It's a great Q. :)

I like it, too. Quiet is important but sometimes it's more fun to NOT be quiet.

I looks like you all had a great time!

Quiet is probably what you are experiencing now that everyone has gone home, but that wouldn't be as interesting in pictures. I like these much better.

I LOVE your Q!!!!
It's all quiet around here right now, and I love the quiet, but sometimes it's nice NOT to be quiet!
Am I talking in circles????? hee.

I'm not sure everyone around us appreciated our non-Quietness, but it certainly was an awful lot of fun!
