JULY 16 Meeting

It was a steamy summer night as we congregated around Louisa's kitchen with Strawberry Daiquiris, yummy. Louisa prepared a wonderful summer picnic of cold cuts, cheese, buns and pasta salad. It was a perfect meal for the first real summer day we had this season. Then came her buttery sugary oatmeal cookies to die for - the best oatmeal cookies ever.... Who would have thought a healthy cookie like oatmeal could taste so good.

Now to discuss the book. Everyone agreed that they enjoyed "Twenty Wishes"by Debbie Macomber. Louisa related that the book really struck home for her, having "lost" her husband and could relate to the main character. Alice created and shared some of the items on her "Wish List". A lively discussion followed with everyone adding something. I definitely need to start my wish list.

Linda Morris will host a bong party next month at her house. In the mean time we will read "The Shack" by William P. Young. From all the reviews I have read about this book, it should provoke some interesting discussion. I look forward to reading this book and seeing you all next month.

BTW -- Grace had a nasty fall down a flight of stairs at her home last Sunday and busted herself up pretty badly. She could not attend the book club meeting. Feel free to give her a call.

Have a great summer and keep cool.
