July Divas - Mega Birthdays!

The Texas Divas enjoyed another fabulous evening as we celebrated the birthdays of lovely divas Donna, Darlene, and Trish. Jeanne was missing due to work-related issues and we had hoped to honor her since she was out of the country on her June birthday. We look forward to seeing her in August.

Trish and Donna look regal in their birthday tiaras. Every woman deserves to wear a crown, if only for a few minutes, once a year.

The photo I took of Darlene in her tiara didn't turn out so we will settle for this one even though our sweet Paula wasn't being so sweet. And speaking of Paula - and speaking of sweet - she made another mouth-watering dessert for the July birthdays. We were treated to pineapple upside down cake and it was delicious! I don't know how this lady makes such wonderful desserts that not only taste heavenly, but look like a picture out of a magazine. She's ours. You can't have her.

A big Texas Diva welcome to Jacque, a friend of Cathy's, who visited with us and fit right in. We hope she will join our group, although Cathy warned her that the hazing can be rather cruel. One of the many things I love about our Texas Divas is that we joyfully accept new friends. Everyone who has visited us became one of us within seconds. What a beautiful group of women! I sincerely hope that Jacque will want to make the Texas Divas a regular habit. Welcome!


There were gifts galore, so many that we couldn't keep up with what each one received. My desire is to have our dinner in a quiet private home where we can all visit easily. We're growing in numbers, which is great, but we can't socialize with everyone at the table. I miss that. Perhaps we can play "musical chairs" at our next outing and visit with everyone. What a special bunch of ladies! I love you all!

Fun, fun, fun! I agree we need to "mix it up" a bit. Wouldn't it be wonderful to plan an annual event that would be an over-nighter so we can spend more time together? Maybe one night at your Bandera location next year. Thank you for not taking closeup pics. Thanks for all your gifts! I will smell nice, my house will smell nice, I'll be "regular...thanks Randee", and the puppies and kitties at the no kill facility will have their vacs and food, etc.

I love the idea of an overnight. Where else can we really get to know each other once the makeup, perfect hairstyles and stylish clothing all melt into scrubbed faces, bed-head and pj's. When and where????
