August 26 Meeting at Linda's

Well fiddle dee dee, Here we are at "Terror".

After nimbling cheese and crackers and dipping Jumbo Shrimp, Harlot and Rat Marrissa, the French side of Scarlett's family, presented a Southern repast of "Poke" chop, "sweeeet" potato with pecans, wonderful mashed potato and green beans cooked with country ham.

We all sauntered on the the veranda with our meals complete with several bottles of wine. After all were quite full, Linda commenced the discussion of Scarlett. Pam thought she was a terrible mother who neglected her children. Linda defended her as being a Southern woman who did what she thought was in their "best interest". Scarlett was said to be childish, selfish, naive but a good business woman. Those who read "Gone with the Wind" agreed that it was by far a better book but Alexandra Ripley did a decent job of continuing the saga of "Scarlett".

Sharon then introduced her book -- "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson to be read for the next meeting on September 16.

Please think about when you want to host bookclub next year and your suggested book.

Rekon, we'll see y'all next month.
