Almost Thanksgiving!

Hope all is well with you . . . life continues to be wonderful . . lots going on! Ina and I continue with Boot Camp. No, we really don't love it but we are Staying the Course! Can't decide if I like running the mile, squats or lunges up and down the football field better - the choice is so very difficult to make for me.













Loved meeting Polly, Cindy, Deborah and Shaun for Friday afternoon girls round-up. We solved many of the worlds problems in just one sitting . . . .Katie and I went to Auburn where we froze and our beloved Bulldawgs hung on for dear life. We had fun . . . tailgated with new friends from my Athens tennis team and celebrated our hard fought victory.













Last week at ZTA and in Athens was action packed. All of the sororities have been working for weeks for Greek Grind - a fund raiser held at The Athens Classic Center - competition dancing. Barbara Lewis came up to see Cat dance for Phi Mu; but first she stopped by ZTA Spa and Resort and had dinner. We then headed downtown for a private wine tasting at DePalma's with Miss Ann, the Phi Mu House Mom in tow. There were very distinguishing judges for Greek Grind . . . . Loved spending time with UGA Cornerback Asher Allen. He is a very nice young man; his Mom I am sure is very, very proud of him! I invited him to dinner at ZTA and he took me up on my offer the very next day; brought Ricardo Crawford with him and we all had a great time together.

2nd row: Carson, Ricardo, Natalie, Asher, Addison, Katilyn, Lauren and me.

Soooo, Tuesday & Wednesday were fun filled and then on Thursday, Deborah came into Athens. Ina and I met her at Harry Bissets before she had to tape her Inside Edition program on North Campus - just fun and laughs - catching up since our last visit. After the taping we went to the 100th Anniversary Gala for Grady School of Journalism at The Classic Center. Deb and Deborah Roberts were the two Co-Hosts.








Betty Hudson also flew in from DC and it was great to see her . . like a Tri Delta reunion. Ina and I were quoted in the Athens Banner Herald - of course what I said and what they quoted made me sound like Martin Luther King.

Sorority sisters Ina Hopkins and Becky Reynolds-Nicholson of Athens did stop by. The women were Tri Deltas with Norville in the late 1970s and shared lunch with Norville at Harry Bisset's Cafe in downtown Athens on Thursday.

Even back in college, it was easy to see Norville was headed for success, the friends said. "Absolutely, because she worked so hard. She was so driven. She put the career before the social," Hopkins said.
"She had a dream," Reynolds-Nicholson said.
Oh well . . . . my 5 minutes of fame!

Left Athens Friday after closing the ZTA house and spent the night with Polly and Tom, Tripp, Dottie, Neil and Bert before heading to Carrollton on Saturday. The Reynolds clan celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday. . . then back to Atlanta. Had fun with friends on Monday; Tuesday spent time with Cindy and David. Mom and I are at Katie and Harrison's for Thanksgiving tonight and tomorrow night.

Some things never change . . . . Katie and Harrison have just left [11 pm] going to Five Paces with buddies. Wanted me to come and I told them that I had already spent time there about 30 years ago . . . .

I'm heading back to Athens on Friday afternoon; looking for some of you in Athens on Saturday. I wish all of you a fabulous Thanksgiving with those you love and those you hold dear. Be safe in your travels.
With love, Becky
