Last night the meeting was at Michele's house - for the last time because she will be moving in August. Don't know where - just ask Caroline - she can even tell you what exit off the interstate!
Amy and Ellen weren't there - but otherwise a full house. Michele played Because of Winn Dixie on the tv to set the proper mood and then we commenced discussion. Michele explained the grocery list of food items we were given for tonight was in fact the same list the little girl was sent to get the day she met her dog. I having not read the book (bad girl) and did not pick up on this.
The shopping list was 2 tomatoes, one box of mac and cheese, and rice. Michele made some tasty salsa and "WOW" the tomato spice cake with ICING, Belinda brought Foccaica, and the rest of us pretty much rebelled against being told what to do. I mean, I brought pickeled asparagus for crying out loud.
Book discussion can be summed up with phrases like - the book was well liked, the shortness of the book was appreciated, we couldn't necessarily agree if the movie or the book was better, and one was inspired to journal after reading the book. good chat ladies...
There was quite a bit of discussion about all of the books we have read in past. Amy had sent the new directory for distribution and we all hungrily scanned the book lists looking for forgotten favorites. I declared this year as a "banner year" where despite the overappearance of the word dog in our list the selections yielded many favorites. We also recommended old books to newcomers and Katherine made a motion to be considered a charter member. As her "Her High Holiness Princess of all things Pink and Green in Cayce" is not long enough - jeez!
I was going to type the book list - but in my ultimate laziness have concocted a plan that Amy can upload her copy of the information as a post and save me the trouble.
See you all at Gervais and Vine next month!
