The breakfast club met again this morning at The Pitt Stop Restaurant in Houston. During breakfast, we had a first ever FaceTime conversation with a classmate from California. It’s Amazing what technology has made possible.
You just never know who is going to show up until they walk in the door. Until we meet again….
