October 19 Meeting at Carol's

Everyone appeared to have a good time during our Halloween festivities.  The costumes were great and I love that you all entered into the holiday fun.  I hope the decorations weren't too scary or over the top.  The food was uncomplicated (pizza, veggies, cheese and crackers, chips and salsa and fruit) and way too many desserts like usual.  The book was not so successful.  I think most of us agreed the story lines were very good, but way too short.  The author jumped around from character to character and never delved far enough into the different lives.  I felt we were left hanging from a cliff too many times.  My disclaimer is I had not read the book previously and went on a recommendation from a friend.  I want next October so you can start thinking of your next costume.

September 28 - October 2 at Pat's

Our Sept. meeting was held at the beach.  We had 4 days of beautiful weather, beautiful ocean, fun if not too productive shopping, good company, and plenty of delicious food, from still warm choc. chip cookies to homemade scrapple.  Our book discussion was spirited and covered many topics including organ transplant, loyalty, and monetary impact on healthcare.  The cure for anything is salt water- sweat, tears and the sea.
