Today I reconnected with a trio of delightful friends over chips and salsa, iced tea, and chili rellenos. All three of these ladies are dear to me, though I haven’t seen them for a long time. For years we belonged to a writers’ group together and thus had an impact on each others’ lives, both professionally and personally. We’ve lost touch over the years, so the reunion today was as sweet as the flan with which we ended our meal!
