Our meetings are now mostly social, because we’ve developed
a close friendship over the years—especially as writers who pour our hearts and
souls into our stories. There’s not a whole lot we don’t know about each other
by now. Our little group started out meeting at Wendy’s, then progressed to Red
River Barbecue, and, as we became more successful (at least in our own minds)
we branched out into more upscale locations.
But we blew the top off the restaurant chart with our
February meeting when Chica suggested that we meet at Cullen’s Bar and Grill at
11500 Space Center Blvd. in Houston. Not only is this restaurant elegant and
beautiful (inside and out as you can see by the photos), the food was
amazing and the service superb. Thankfully, we went at lunchtime, when there
were specials, because the nighttime menu offerings are quite pricey—but well
worth the money.
The main dining room is surrounded by cozy booths for privacy, so we spent three hours there, eating, visiting, and editing. It was a productive meeting, as we each brought a current project: Dawn is writing a book on journaling, Chica is penning her second collection of humorous short stories, and I am plotting my second murder mystery novel.
It was a fabulous bucket list event that I will never forget—for
the food and the atmosphere, but most of all, for the friendship!
Thank you Chica and
Dawn for SEVEN WONDERFUL YEARS of inspiration, laughter and fun!!!
