April Meeting with Friends

The Girls From Ames was our book this month and the inspiration for a friendship celebration. I made an Iowa inspired meal to share including glazed ham, corn and cherry tomato salad, corn muffins, and friendship cake.
We played a friendship bonding game called "What's a Dame to Do?" which just was a fun activity to see how well we knew our book buddies. It turns out we DO know each other pretty well.
We discussed the importance of women friends to our health and happiness. The internet video was shown and as always we learned a little bit more about each other.
So here's to our friendship that started out as a "side by side" activity and has grown into so much more because women have face to face friendships and love to support one another. I'm grateful for my WOW friends!

March Meeting

I'm a little late getting the inforamtion about our March meeting posted. Our March meeting was held at Linda's house. We discussed Angie's book selection for March, The Lace Reader. This was a fascinating book that takes place in Salem. It was very different with several plot twists and a surprise ending.
Linda and Barb pitched in when Angie had surgery and was not able to host her month. Everyone had a good time with Barb and Linda outdoing themselves with a delicious dinner and dessert.
