After much speculation about is it going to rain or storm we finally met , social distancing, in my backyard for a Covid free meeting. The weather was absolutely perfect. Everyone brought their own food and drink for a contact-less meal and I passed around, again pick your own, Covid Cookie.
It was a beautiful evening and we all really enjoyed finally being together again. Even Edna came out of isolation to join us. This was so much better than ZOOM. We discussed the book “"Lost Years" by Mary Higgins Clark a bit. Some knew who the murderer was early on and then others not until near the end of the book. I have a real problem understanding how anyone could kill someone over an object. It just seems so senseless. The book also introduced an Alzheimer's patient and we had a brief discussion how that effects families. It’s an awful disease that effects not only the patient but all their loved ones.
I selected this book because the author Mary Higgin Clark had recently passed away in January and thought we should pay a tribute to this long standing author. She was 93 and wrote 51 books. I was intrigued how her background closely resembles mine. Both of us being from an Irish Catholic family growing up in the Bronx, attending Catholic school and experiencing school with the nuns. We both went to Fordham U at Lincoln Center, crazy. I have to say I enjoyed her book “Kitchen Privileges” much better than “Lost Year’s".
Alice will host the July 16 meeting and picked “28 Summers” by Elin Hilderbrand.
REALLY REALLY GREAT seeing everyone.
Pat, we missed you and sincerely hope Pam is on the road to recovery.
Until next time, stay safe and take care,
