“ Just a note to remind you of our January meeting. Wed Jan 28 at Boo's in Moss Bluff. Hope you all will be attending. Our Girlfriends Weekend was fabulous!! Wish all could have been with us. We heard authors and wanted to read each and every book. Hopefully we'll have pictures to share at the meeting and tales to tell. I'm in Arkansas and hopefully the predicted Ice Storm won't delay my return home. I'm missing my Literary Queen Friends!! Love Kay ”
