Eat Pray and Love with the Hotties on the 16th

Hello Hotties!

I thought it would be fun to have everyone bring something to eat or drink from one of the countries in the book; Italy, India, or Indonesia. (I think Italy might be the easier one? oh dear)

If you'd like to dress the part, that would be so fun too.

Anyway...I hope you have had a chance to read the book; it is lovely. It is a bit hard to get into at first, but stay with it.

Let's say 8pm. I have a meeting in the city that day so I'll be rushing home so please be patient with the "hosting" from me this month. :) I'll do my best in a flash.

I also have a fun "craft" I'd like to do for the pray part if you are up to it.
At my church, we recently made meditation beads. (bracelet) If you think this would be fun to do, instead of a game after the discussion, we could do this. I would then give instruction of the kind of beads to bring and I'll have the other supplies. OR, I could ask everyone to give 5 bucks to the cause and I could go buy a variety of beads for us to use. It takes about an hour. Its not for everyone so we can take a vote and let that be our guide.

Lisa S. is joining us this month with a friend of hers; they both read the book and are excited to join the for our May discussion. :)

Let me know by Tuesday if you will make it and your thougths on the beads. :)

Hello Hotties!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to remind you about the meeting on Friday, March 14. It is at my (Lisa's) house and I was thinking of an 8 o'clock start time? My kids have TKD testing that night, so a little bit later would work better for me this month.

Okay...so that's the deal...3/14 @ 8 pm, be there or be square.

The book this month is Quaker Summer, and I am reading it now. I was really unsure about it, but it is a good book!

I am really sorry that it was so hard to get. I know Borders and Barnes and Noble had to special order it. I actually ended up ordering it from Amazon. I know for next time to check the availability of a book before I pick it!

I was thinking after our serious and lengthy book discussion we could play a game. Col, could you please bring Catchphrase? I had a blast the last time we played that!

Don't bring a thing...unless of course you are a rum snob. Then BYOR, Plo.

Hope you can all make it, let me know!

See you Friday.

Would Anyone Object?

Would anyone object to me changing my book to this? I am patiently waiting for my copy of Quaker Summer to come in, and got hooked on this in the meantime. I will admit that it is a bit longer than The Good Earth, but it is impossible to put down. If anyone objects, that would be fine with me...we can still read my original pick.

PS: I can't find Quaker Summer anywhere, and had to special order it...does anyone have a copy they are finished with? LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Friendship is a blessing it's the best you have to share,

The talents and the wisdom, the capacity to care...
It's being there to lend support, whatever needs arise,

It's making sure that others know they're special in your eyes...
Friendship is a blessing, and, to all who have a friend,

It's one of the most precious gifts that life could ever send.

Have a great day!

XOXO

It's February!

Hello Ladies!

Posted by Julie :)

Reminder that the first book club of the year is coming up at Connie's!

If you have not picked up a copy there is still time and a new copy back at the library- mine- which sadly I had for over a week before I realized their is just no way I will read it in time...SORRY Connie!!....

So better to get it back to the library for someone else to read :)

Please let Connie know if you will make it- she will send an email about the time etc.

New book club members?????

For anyone who has a friend who wants to join book club, please send me their info
Name, B-day and email address
so I can get them added to the site info etc
so they can start checking the
site
so they can get or reserve a copy of

The Pillars of the Earth

because really, April is just a few weeks away

and 1026 pages is not light reading.

..it is heavy...

although the paperback version slims that

page total to 976

which is more like light reading...

But don't be intimidated by this monster book-

it is said to be a fantastic book and everyone I have come across that has read it loved it!

Not as much as they loved say....

The Sound and the Fury....

but pretty darn close!!!

Thanks to Kristen , who is always challening us

to step outside our comfort zone

in reading and who is hosting this particular book via satelite from Texas!

Yee Haw!

I had to post this picture since it one of many great pictures of Kristen - and we miss her smiling face :)

XOXO

Happy Birthday Rose!!

Sorry I have not been able to update the site with Birthdays yet!!

Belated....Happy Birthday, Rose!!!
