A LITTLE POEM ABOUT THE FLOWERS RETREAT

Four couples arrived with plans to unwind. Six ladies showed up and left stress behind.

The balcony hosted coffee, tea, and gossip galore, while game night grew louder than anyone planned for.

The firepit crackled beneath the Texas sky as stories grew bigger with each laugh and reply.

Someone claimed victory at cards with delight, then lost their title before the end of the night.

The soaking tub welcomed tired feet and weary souls, while slippers and pajamas replaced heels and fancy clothes.

By day they explored Dallas, its food, history, and sights. By evening they returned for laughter-filled, pajama-clad nights.

Some came for history. Some came for soccer. Some came for shopping, celebrations, or simply time together.

Everyone left with memories worth sharing and a promise to gather again.

The Flowers Retreat
A home filled with history.
A place built for connection.
A backdrop for memories that last long after the vacation ends.
