Note from Marj: The following is an abbreviated version of Debra’s incredible account of our meeting this week. I am so grateful to the young women, Barbara and Debra, who have pitched in to help out on the necessary details of keeping this group going. We have met continuously since 1981. The population has shifted over the years but the culture is still outrageously edgy! Thank you, Wise Women of South Texas.

WOOWWW!!!!!!
Wild Open Outrageous Wise Wonderful Women!!!!
What a meeting this was!! I LOVED IT!!!!!! LAUGHTER !!!!!!
True, Deep, In The Belly, LAUGHTER!!!!!!! Thank You All!!!!!
Ladies, I have to tell you, this morning I woke up and my tummy muscles were feeling a little sore!! hmmmmmm…. what could this possibly be from…. then it dawned on me, yesterdays deep belly laughs!!! Yep, that’s right, laughter!! We all know how good it is for us to laugh, makes us feel better right? Well, now we have another reason to laugh, tummy muscles!! No more sit-ups, belly crunches…ugggghhhh…. just laugh!!!! I didn’t even know those muscles were still in there it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen them [or felt them! hahaha] So here it is ladies, forget the crunches, have yourself a good laugh every day and I’ll bet before you know it you’ll be looking at a six pack!!! Ok, maybe not a six pack…. but you just never know…. As Marj would say,” visualize the outcome”, flat tight washboard abs!!!! [I can dream it can’t I?] If nothing else, you’ll feel great!!
Marj, Thank You for hosting us in your home this month, as always it was warm and comfortable, obviously too comfy since we didn’t break-up until 3:00!! Parting is so difficult!! Also, it was a brown bag lunch affair, but the spread you put out was wonderful and unexpected!! Thank You, Thank You! You can clean your refrigerator out for me anytime!!
