November 15th Meeting at Pat's

Ruff ruff do I smell something good.....it's Pat's "just chicken" mmmmmmmm

We gather around the dinner table to begin our book club meeting.  Grace reminds us about the upcoming  Christmas luncheon at McFarland House on December 7 at 1:00 and makes a list of all who can attend.

I announce that I created a summary of the books we read last year.  I would like everyone to email me the name of your two top choices from that list.  Pam says she likes them all but I just want to see if there was a favorite.

It's now Pat's turn to question us on the book we read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.  An interest story about life and death told from the view point of a dog using car racing as an analogy to life.  Someone said, it makes you think just what "my dog" might be thinking and what do they really know.  But me being ever the skeptic, it's just a story but a good one.  Discussion alternated between personal experiences with dying, being alone and being lonely, Burzynski Clinic to treat cancer, Penn State scandal, and false accusations.  Pat then introduced us to her "Solutions" catalog -- advertised as products that make life easier, it included the "remote control egg massager".  Naturally, it all went down hill from there.

In January we will meet at Edna's house on the 19th and read "Saving Fish from Drowning" by Amy Tan.  There are several books in the libraries around the area so you should not have any problems getting a copy.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you at the Mcfarland House and/or my Christmas Party on December 16.

We're thinking about you Ellen and you too Linda and Alice.

Enjoy your reading and remember to send me your 2 book choices from last year.
Goodnight,
KAthy G
