An area group organized to get bereaved spouses out of the house after the loss of a loved one.
Now in their 12th year, they call themselves the "Glo Girls."
One day each month, they travel.
This means eating out, walking around, shopping.
They take tours or visit a museum, preferably those that are free or else might give them a discount.
They just "hang out," as the slang goes.
The magnetism drawing them together was first discovered by the late Patsy Livingston, then-president of the Cass County Genealogical Society.
"She'd tried to get groups together like this but wasn't very successful," member and today's organizer Merle Duncan said.
"Then when her husband John died, she found a stronger reason to go outside, to go somewhere and do something. Others started joining her, most for the same reason."
And so the group gathers the last Wednesday of the month to go somewhere. Each makes it in her own way.
Merle has done the planning by making calls beforehand, and then calling each of the girls to make sure they'll come.
When they leave, it's an adventure.
Recently in Linden, Texas, they had lunch at a Mexican restaurant and then walked around the square to see two new shops, one Joanna Duncan's The Front Porch and the other Carla Surratt's Flower and Gift Shop.
"We were impressed. We didn't even know these stores were here, and they were wonderful. We bought some things at each one," Kathy Peacock said.
The longest trip the group has taken has been to Fort Towson, Okla.
And one of their best, they say, was to the town of Winnsboro, Texas.
"It was impressive with tea rooms and antique stores. At the train depot in the middle of the town, you'll be met by greeters who help you plan your visit," a Glo member said.
Patsy Livingston, their founder, had been an active go-getter type of person.
"She would be at the library nearly every day getting things done," Peacock said. "So like her, we go."
And, then, after naming several out-of-town places, each with their unique feature, Peacock added with mock reservation, "We've even been to the boat!"
This is Shreveport's gambling casinos at their riverside section, known by almost all.
That trip very likely made the Glo Girls glow indeed.
