Texas Reunion

You know, they say "everything is big in Texas" so even though we were a small group of three nightingales that got together, this reunion was certainly big on fun, love and laughter. Mildred, Patti and I had a grand 'ole time reminiscing, catching up, comparing notes and just plain old acting silly --- just like we used to 30 years ago. We occasionally paused to snap a few pictures to share with all of you so sit back, relax and enjoy the slideshow.
