I am attending my first Sisters on the Fly event at Stone Mountain, Georgia and what an amazing group of women. This is an outdoor adventure group for women only and their events center around everything from fly fishing and horseback riding to concerts and craft fairs. In this case, the event is in conjunction with Country Living magazine's craft fair.
Thursday night, we attended a meet-and-greet at a beautiful spot on the lake. Following a potluck supper of incredible homemade soups, they held a book discussion around the campfire of The Time Travel Trailer. Many of the sisters shared their experiences with their own vintage trailers, although no one claimed to have time traveled.

Friday, we fought the traffic to the craft fair site--over 300 vendors of antiques and crafts, plus food, entertainment, and demonstrations. Several of the Sisters' trailers are displayed also. I didn't buy anything but saw lots of great ideas.
Back at the campground, I took advantage of the laundry facilities right across the road to eliminate the pile in our bathtub and my sister Gretchen and I proceeded to get ready for last night's 'Cowgirl Prom.' It was held at the same spot as Thursday's festivities and featured barbecue and the Thomas Wesley Stearns band. The weather was fantastic and the company even better.
I wish my granddaughters could meet all of these women. I wish I could have talked to each and every one, because the ones I did talk to all had great stories. Anything goes in apparel. The food was delicious and the music a great slice of Americana. Women were there from all over the southeastern United States. Many tow their own trailers. (Not me, being a chicken.) Their backgrounds are diverse and a number have been through life-changing tragedies. But they are indomitable.
