We had a good GLOW meeting last Saturday, with all in attendance.  We had a rough 2019 with many out with illness, we were seldom a 100% attendance.  We met at Pepe's Mexican Restaurant, one of our favorite places.  It's  local, small and comfortable, with great service.  The owner knows us and makes us welcome.

We celebrated two birthdays, mine and Sandy's.  Sandy and I worked together for many years, our desk only feet apart.  We go back to days of our youth.  Her birthday is on the 23rd, mine is on the 24th and we're one year apart, her being the youngest.

Happy Birthday Sandy!

We always visit for at least 30 minutes before ordering, after we order we have our prayer, thanking God for our group and our food, also lifting those friends who are absent.

This week I had the PeeWee Dinner, that's what I always order because it's so good.  One tamale, one enchilada, rice, beans and a taco.  AND a glass of sweet iced tea.

After we ate we enjoyed a great piece of cake made by Arlene,  It was a yellow cake with a pineapple cool whip icing.  She said it also had vanilla pudding, it was so delicious.  AND, of course we all had a cup of coffee with our cake.

Our main topic of conversation was the corona virus, I think it's on everyone's mind.  At this time there have been no cases near us so we're praying it will not get to our little part of the world.  Zee told us she read where the mask are really not helping, that's scary.  Linda said she read an article where there is price gouging raising the price for a box of mask to $400.  That is disgraceful, I wish there was a legal way to stop that, it's just not right.

We also talked about the high cost of prescription drugs, even with insurance some drugs are very expensive.  We discussed CVS, our new local store vs the older one in Deer Park, also those in surrounding communities.  (FYI - when you leave La Porte, you are in Deer Park)  We also talked about good and bad service at each of them, just comparing notes.

Linda shared with us about her sweet new grand dogbaby, Finn, being bit by a baby copperhead while playing in the backyard.  They rushed him to a Vet ER for treatment, fortunately the fangs didn't completely penetrate the skin and he's going to be okay.  It was very scary for the family.

The bite was on his lip and the poison traveled down his neck causing a large mass on his throat.  I was cringing the whole story.

Pat reminded us it's time for dues and a financial report which we will do next week.  We donate $5.00 a month which covers our birthday gifts and other things we might like to do as a group.

I shared a praise report that touched me deeply, one day I'll share with you.  We gave God a lot of glory bringing tears to Zee's eyes.  She was very touched.

Not much happening this week, hopefully the weather will be nice and we can sit back and enjoy nice days.

Until Next Time
