Cowgirls left to right: Ginny, Patty, me, Stacy and Janis. This was just before dinner at the Yellowstone Club in 2016.
Later this month I’m heading to Chico Hot Springs in Montana for my annual Cowgirl Retreat with 4 of my best buddies from – gasp – high school. We’ve been doing this every September for twenty years or so. We are all pretty fit so we usually do a couple of hikes, one easy and one badass. But mostly we stand around in the big, naturally heated hot spring pool and catch up on each other’s lives. One thing that is a little weird is that we are all in health care. I’m a physician. Patty is a veterinarian, Stacy is an OB-gyn nurse, Ginny is a nutritionist, and Janis runs an ultrasound department. So, yeah, we’ve been know to talk shop a little bit but it’s mostly about husbands, ex-husbands, children, grandchildren (!), the good old days and how lucky we are to be happy and healthy and together again for a few days.
Thanks for reading! Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder.
