Well, January Bookclub started off with a bang as I delivered fried chicken dinners with apple pie. After my second time in a year of having to do a Zoom meeting, I thought a nice home-cooked meal from Old Country Diner would be just right.
It was a beautiful day for a drive as Glenn & I drove around Berkeley & Jefferson Counties. We also delivered our Christmas gifts: a pen, magnet & bag from the Australian Open Tennis in Melbourne. Luckily for me, I received a nice bag of fudge from Ruthi and a nice bottle of wine from Alice so I could have kept driving all day for wine & chocolates!! Lol!!!
At 7:15 pm, we began our Book club meeting after I spent 15 minutes trying to get the Zoom, on my computer, started. Carol was finally able to take over as host so that everyone could come on board.
Since we had just finished the first book of a trilogy about Alexander Hamilton, I picked the second book "Love & War" by Melissa de la Cruz and encouraged people to read the last book, "All for One" as well. We spent most of our time talking about Covid-19 and a little bit of time discussing the book!! Haha. Really though, most of us thought the middle book was boring but got better if you finished the series. It was more interesting to me to hear about the early years of the Country than the personal history of the Hamilton̢۪s.
It was great to be able to see and talk to everyone. We had eight members that were able to Zoom. We missed Pam, who is helping her daughter make arrangements for her grandson's funeral; Drika, who is still coping with losing Bob; Alice, who is caring for her aged mother; and Pat, who is caring for her sick brother. We are all thinking of and praying for all of you and your families!! This is what makes our group of ladies so special!!
Hopefully, in the not too distant future, we will be able to all be together again!! I look forward to it!!
The February meeting will be hosted by Sylvia. Everyone stay healthy and safe!!
Love, Edna
