While you sit where ever you sit on Saturday mornings, reading this, I'm soaking my drought-dusty body in the cool water of a friend's backyard pool, frozen margarita in hand.

This is a Diva weekend, when girls I grew up with congregrate to catch up on each other's lives in a way that Facebook and emails just can't compare to… face-to-face with music, food and margaritas (or wine or soda or whatever…) and a whole weekend of talking, talking, talking.

It's purely therapeutic, of course. 

Here are a few of us last year, deep into one of our therapy sessions.

I hope you're have a sweet Diva weekend of your own!

Now for my Sweet!s of the Week:

Saturday: meeting a writing deadline (whew!)

Sunday: being able to pick up a phone and hear your Daddy's voice

Monday: a hug from your oldest child after a month of only calls or emails

Tuesday: being Chairperson of a committee full of go-getting, "tell me what I can do to help" people.

Wednesday: waking to the sweet sound of rain on the roof that went on and on and on…

Thursday: shopping with your daughter

Friday: finally meeting someone face-to-face who you've only known, up until that moment, through typed words and shared photographs

Saturday: floating in a sun-kissed swimming pool surrounded by friends who have known you forever (and still like you most of the time!)

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend filled with love and friendship!

    Glad to hear you got to hear rain given the lack of it in your area. Rain on the roof is by far one of my favorite sounds.

    Sounds so wonderful, Barbara! Y’all look so relaxed. I was up your way this weekend to Lago Vista visiting our friends’ new home overlooking Lake Travis. So beautiful, but I have to say it was almost too hot to enjoy. We ate at The Oasis and I think my shrimp tacos were cooked a second time out on the balcony there. :/ Hope you have a wonderful week!

    Next time you come, instead of the Oasis, go to Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. Much more pleasant and wonderful food and music! And let me know when you come!!
