RWA Recap
It all started last Monday night. I met Shelli and Emma at the Hyatt and we hit the West End for dinner!
You can’t tell but my hair is in pigtails *g*
Here’s a shot of Emma contemplating her Chicken Fried Chicken. I even got them both to try fried pickles! They were yummy but a bit on the salty side. 
Unfortunately, the fried okra didn’t fare so well. By this time we’d had a few drinks (the Pink Lemonade Martini(s) was to die for! I’m sure Shelli felt the same about her Shiner Bock(s)), and were just a wee bit rowdy, so when Shelli freaked out about the seeds all I could do was laugh…..and laugh….and laugh!

Tuesday was my official check in day! I’m embarrassed to report I brought more clothes than both of my roomies combined. I got settled in and headed for the bar. As the days progressed, it seemed I headed for the bar a lot, but that’s where the action was, and you could always find someone to chat with (and drink with)….Like these two lovely ladies, (Pam Britton and Jen Scully) ….though at this point I’d yet to see Nora ![]()

I have lots more stories and pics….but you’ll just have to be patient!



Great pics, Ames.
Looks like a lot of fun!
Am LOL at the expression on Emma’s face!
