A recent trip to Bastrop was a double fun trip because I got to spend some time with my classmate and long-time friend Diane Smith Hawkins. We had lunch together at Johnny's Pizza, spent the afternoon catching up on each other and our kids and grandkids, then attended the local dinner theater put on by the Rose. It was a lovely meal, a funny play and a good time had by all.

We also ran into one of our favorite teachers from BHS there, Mrs. Bickley-Norwood and her daugher Kaye who also graduated with us from BHS. I spent the night with Diane in her home shared with her mother and then got up early the next day for my trip to Rayville with my own mother for our book event there at the Antique Trade Days.

It was a special weekend and a lot of fun.
