October 20th Meeting at Grace's

It sure feels like fall.  There is a chill in the air but there is plenty of warm wishes at Grace's house.   She starts "Year Four "of our book club  with a wonderful dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu and Eggplant Parmesan.  Now top that girls, the bar has been set!

After satisfying our hunger and checking up on the past months events we setting down to discuss  Barbara Delinsky's "While my Sister Sleeps".   Grace has requested that we bring a ? to discuss so  Roe ask "why did you pick this book?"  Good question and so the discussions begin.  Since this book dealt with death, several people related rather sensitive times in their lives when they had to deal with this on a very personal level.  Alice relates what she went through when Bruce passed away and Pam recounted tough decisions she had to make in regard to Jim's health care. Topics ranged from health care, Medicare,  restrictive school lunches, to building a 4 million tunnel so that college students can cross the street, and everything in between.

To round out the night, dessert was served and we all sang happy birthday to Louisa and Grace who are celebrating their birthdays this month.

REMEMBER --  next month's meeting will be on TUESDAY November 15 at Pat's house and we will read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.

Please send me your book selection for this year.
I created a pdf file under Books Read of the books we read last year - Summary of Books Read 2010-2011
