8/13/2011 Mini Hollins Reunion

When I was editor of the Hollins Columns my junior year in college, Susan Bright was a talented first year student who joined the staff. By second semester, she was my features editor. With a name like Susan "Bright" how could she be anything but my "Star Reporter"? Well now she lives in Lafayette, CO, so I borrowed Rodney's car (after dropping him off at work) and drove to Lafayette. Bonus! Rebecca de la Vega lives near Susan and they're in the same band, Stubborn Gray, as well as the same church praise music group. Rebecca was hosting a cookout and jam session so that's where I went. It was great to get the Hollins gang together again! Rebecca actually graduated from Texas Women's University which is right next door to my second alma mater, North Texas. Small world!

2/21/2008 The Dinner Gang Together Again

The three of us are back together again. This time we're at El Guapo in Denton. Do you recognize the Mexican food theme--December at La Hacienda, February at El Guapo? I have to make up for lost time whenever I'm back in the area so I eat lots of Tex Mex when I visit. The conversation and camaraderie were even better than the food, which was delicious. We closed the restaurant down. It's going to be hard to have to wait until August to see these dear friends again. :-(

12/20/2007 The Denton Trio reunited

L to R: Dana, Bridget, Me. The three of us have gotten together for dinner once a month for at least 2 years. (Romona used to be a part of the group, but she's in Fort Worth now and it's harder for her to get away.) We had our last dinner together just a few nights before I left for the big move and then had to go 4 months without a dinner. Tonight was the night. Dana now lives in Midlothian and Bridget in Denton and I was in Richardson, so we picked La Hacienda in Lewisville to meet in the middle. We had a great time and delicious Mexican food, too.
