October Meeting

The October meeting was at Joyce's new lake place. This proved to be quite an adventure for some of us who are directionally challenged. Not that Joyce didn't go above and beyond with het great directions, which she personalized for each of us. It was just that we had never been there before so it was a new adventure for some!
After a tour of Joyce's guest home we also got a peek at her beautiful new home, which was under construction. Afterwards we sat down to enjoy a wonderful lunch. This was one of our Sunday afternoon meetings which we are trying out in the winter months so that we don't have to drive in the dark.
The book for our October meeting was Those Who Save Us. Besides having a great discussion about the book we learned that most of us have German ancestors. Angie taught us how to pronounce some German words and Barb had compiled a comprehensive list of who saved who in the book.
Next year we will be visiting Joyce in her new lakefront home.

September Meeting

Our September meeting was at Gloria's house. We discussed the book, Birds of a Feather. Everyone enjoyed the book and we had an English high tea for refreshments.
