I’M SO EXCITED!!! Our book club made it into “Bookmarks Magazine’s” Nov/Dec issue. (For anyone that doesn’t know about “Bookmark’s,” it’s a wonderful magazine for book lovers and book clubs. It comes out bi/monthly and has an easy website to navigate for information on books.)

What an honor! Only half our members were together for that picture, but we are all so excited.

Thank you very much “Bookmark’s Magazine.”

Book club had a lovely dinner at a local restaurant. Our book was “The Wednesday Sisters,” by Meg Waite Clayton. All who read the book liked it and have recommended it to their friends. I think it’s a good book club book. See my review under Pages.

It is so beautiful today, it makes life seem a little bit better, knee and all.

We have October’s book club this Friday and our book is “The Wednesday Sisters,” by Meg Waite Clayton.  The book is about group of women who form a writing group that meets every Wednesday in the summer of 1968.  It’s a perfect book for book club and for us to see how hard women’s lives were only 42 years ago.  I was 12 years old in 1968 and can almost feel my mother’s acquiescence as she tolerated the life my father and grandfather mandated.

Good book for discussion.  See my review under Pages.

If an orthopedic surgeon wants to operate on your knee RUN as fast as you can!!!!

I haven’t written because I’m recuperating from knee surgery.  I probably should have had a knee replacement, but instead the doctor tried to save my knee and here I am 4 months later still on crutches dealing with pain and swelling.

Well enough about me.  Our book club took the summer off primarily because I couldn’t move.  In September we went to a local restaurant and discussed the book “The Help,” by Kathryn Stockett.  All the ladies liked the book.  It gives the reader a chance to see the life of a maid in the South in the early 60’s.   See my book review under pages.
