December 9th’s Prompt:
Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans.
+++++
In March, I turned 40.
To celebrate some of my yoga teacher training buddies and I went on a yoga workshop weekend in Ukiah to study Balance with Mary Paffard.
I know. We know how to party!
A must stop if you are ever in Clear Lake
Once we were primed and ready (ie totally full of fried goodies) we off to Vichy Springs Resort for some soaking in the mineral pools.
An excellent way to spend an afternoon
Post soak, we hopped on down the road to meet the other YTTs for dinner at Oco Time.
Look at those lovely faces.
We chatted, we laughed, we snapped photos and drank a beer (or two).
More lovely faces.
We told jokes and talked about birthdays, age and yoga.
And then it was over.

It’s funny what a difference a decade makes.
My 30th birthday was a huge drunken bash.
I’m glad that nonsense is over now.

What’s your most memorable party this year?
