May Meeting Happens During a Tornado


I am never going to fuss about the smallness of my living room again. Just look at my new discussion area - a cozy hallway area where the remaining five members finished discussing "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand." Gloria was partly sitting in my guest bathroom :) Pretty funny. We tried our best to discuss the book, but with Watauga's alarm system going off, hearing emergency vehicle sirens going by, listening to the TV accounts of what was going on, Ed's constant updating us on the weather news, his finding one hail ball in the front yard, and some shingles being pulled off our roof, it was a night I will laugh about for a long while. Actually, the weather at my house wasn't bad (just windy). It was the TV news scare of what could be coming at us. Luckily, we had good food. While some of our ladies have games and take-home gifts at their meetings, I gave away some food containers.

Stephanie, Ed fixed your cherry cheesecake, but we finished it up...sorry. Diane, I hope you made it home safely. I would have done the same thing if I had a child at home and a dog that would have gotten upset.

I hope you enjoy our photo.

April Meeting

Had a great time at Angie's house last Tuesday. We had a wonderful discussion of her book selection, A Walk Through the Woods by Bill Bryson. Everyone enjoyed the way the book combined the history of the AT and the adventures of the real life trekers. We met Angie's mom and enjoyed a perfect layered salad and a delicous dessert. Good times with good friends...

March's meeting at Margie's

Thanks for including some photos Karen of March's meeting at my house to discuss Life's a Beach by Claire Cook. My food inspiration was a movie extra's craft table like they had in the book.. just a big table filled with snacks. I also had beach party favors like drink umbrellas and leis. Our discussion was about dream midlife jobs, junk/treasure pickin', parts we thought were funny, and who was a Ginger and who wasn't. (Note: I don't think we have any Gingers in the group) Our arts and craft session ended the evening with everyone making a beaded bracelet sensation. I hope all my book loving friends love their bracelets too. Great evening with great friends.

Twenty-fifth Anniversary Weekend


Nine of us headed to Jefferson, Texas last weekend for a fantastic time at Kathy Patrick's Pulpwood Queens Girlfriends' Weekend.
We have lots of pictures and stories to share at our next meeting at Debbie's house. We had a great time and it was well worth the money to attend. The authors were very availbale to either talk to or to sign their books. Everyone had a fantastic time.
