DECEMBER 2009 MEETING

Our December meeting was hosted by Gloria on Sunday afternoon, December 20th, at 2:00pm. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and then had an ornament exchange. Several members stole each other's ornaments in the Chinese Exchange and a lively time was had by all. Following the exchange we discussed our book selections for 2010. After that, we discussed the December book, Christ the Lord, by Ann Rice. Several members mentioned Ann Rice's previous books which we have read and we discussed her different style of writing at this time in her career. We all agreed that this book was a perfect one for the month of December. We ended our meeting with dessert, which was a delicious pineapple upside down cake and fruitcake cookies.

It was so good to see your cute faces again. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves writing and people. The dinner was grand- Karen makes a mean potato pie!
