January 19 Meeting at Edna's

    Bookclub for January was held on Thursday, the 19th, at my house.  We read the book, "Step on a Crack," by James Patterson.  Everyone seemed to really like the book.  It is the first book in a new Patterson series about Michael Bennett and is set in NYC. The action takes place in St. Patrick's Cathedral and is very exciting but people seemed to like the back story about Bennett and his priest grandfather, dying wife and 10 kids; just as much. 

    We had some good old Zuppa Toscana soup ( which Kathy supplied Icelandic lava bread for); and kielbasa and sweet sausage sandwiches with grilled onions, peppers, and sauerkraut.   Several people brought cookies and Drika made delicious brownies (haha, just kidding Drika!); really a delicious moist cake!!!  Louisa brought candy which I forgot to give out so I took it to Alice's birthday party and shared it then.  I also brought back one of Iceland's favorite candies; chocolate covered black licorice; which most tried and deemed ok.

    Everyone was here and it was a warm, wonderful meeting, with warm, wonderful friends.  Thank you all for being part of my life!!  It is great to be part of such an awesome group of ladies, whatever the occasion. 

    The next meeting is on the 3rd Thursday of February at Drika's.  We are reading "The Memory Keepers Daughter."  See you there!!

Love, Edna
