 Some of the beautiful women in the International Circle of First Baptist Church of Muncie. My connection is Betty Brown, in the purple and green top, next to far right.  Betty was my splendid Bible Study Fellowship group leader about four or five years ago. Can you believe she will be 85 this month? I can't either! I just love this woman!  Will you look at this amazing hooked rug? One of Betty's friends is holding it and she is putting the finishing touches on it. What a beauty ... beauties, actually!  What would a women's meeting be without something good to eat? Betty made this pineapple treat. Yum! This road I'm on ... be it to Elwood or New Castle, Liberty or Hagerstown, Brookville or Mooreland, Springport or -- Muncie on Tuesday -- it's a sweet road, one filled with interesting women, friends from different times of life or new ones altogether.
I spent a chunk of Tuesday with the women in my friend Betty Brown's International Circle of First Baptist Church of Muncie. I sat in on their business meeting, shared with them in prayer, laughter, sweet treats around the table, and plenty of lovely girl talk. I love the company of women. The age of those women matters none to me. I met Betty when she was my (non-denominational) Bible Study Fellowship leader a few years ago and we've stayed in touch since! Thank you, Betty, for having me in to talk about my new book, That Sweet Place: At Home in the Heartland. And thank you Betty's friends for listening and even picking up some copies. Wishing an early Happy Birthday to Betty. She will be 85 on July 9 and she wears it well. VERY well!
