July 18 Meeting at Rennie's

The Good Times Girls Book Club met at my home 7/18 for my first Book club gathering.  Thankfully the heat wave broke and we were able to eat outside. Lunch had a Mexican flare to it. We got right to eating and catching up with each other. We ran out of time to float in the pool. (Thank you, Pam, for swapping months with me so we could have a swim).

I chose the novel “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store” written by James Mc Bride.  This is a story of a community (Chicken Hill) of Jewish, Black, and European immigrant families centered around the Jewish owned grocery store in Pottstown Pa in the 20s and 30s.  The story is full of big personalities dealing with love, death, murder kidnapping and just living together. I would recommend it.  Steven Spielberg is adapting the novel to the screen which he will produce someday. 

I want to thank you all for the opportunity to be a part of this lovely group of friends.  I am really grateful for your friendship .

Sincerely,

Rennie
