January 16 Meeting at Rosemary's

     Thursday, January 14, 2014 bookclub/dinner club at my home.   100% attendance and how nice to have everyone make it.   We would like to welcome our newest member, Carol Mason, a long time friend, fellow reader, sister of Edna and recent "RETIREE," yeah Carol, yeah Me too!

    After some snacking, chattering, and wine, we toasted Angel and Wyndham who recently got engaged.   Congrats to them and to Edna, Glen and the rest of the family.   We then adjourned to the dining room for vegetable barley soup, lasagna roll ups, Italian sausage and meatballs.

    Meal over, so now we discuss the Book.  The selection was, let me think, hmmm, yes, "Remember Me" by Mary Higgins Clark. A short bio was discussed about the author, and the many successful publications she has written over the years.  Most everyone enjoyed the mystery written by this seasoned mystery author. The book touched  upon spirits that were believed to have resided in the 18th century Cape Cod home rented by Menley and Adam Nichols.   This opened the conversation to anyone who may have had spirit- like experience at any time.   Edna shared an experience relating to her dad and a passage in a book, that  offered her comfort and peace of mind regarding her dad's passing.  A beautiful story that we were glad she shared with us.    "Remember Me" was an enjoyable mystery with a surprise twist at the end that most of us didn't expect.

    Well, the book discussion done and over and now desserts, too numerous to mention, but I will.

    A variety of brownies, various cookies, pizzelles, trifle.    But no cheesecake, oh well, omps, sorry folks, next month.   Not everyone likes cheesecake you know, frankly, I am sick of it.  Not really, It is good and I will bring it to the next book-club, "crackfree " for those who like it.

    A reminder the book next month is "The Husbands Secret" by Liane Moriarty at the home of Drika.

    Thanks all for coming and sharing your comments and making it a memorable meeting.

    You are a special bunch of ladies!
