I belong to a book club that meets every other month. We've been getting together for 10 years now and have read and discussed a great many books.
We meet at the library, but in December we meet at a local eating establishment and read poems to one another. We have great fun.
I took these photos using my Nikon Coolpix L22, not the best choice of camera for the venue. I should have taken along my Canon as it works better for these types of events.

Group shot. That's me in the blue on

to Harriet. |

The ladies here are Joy, Betty, Peggy, Pat
(on the back row) and me, Pat (yep, two
Pats), and Dreama. |

This was Peggy's Brandy Rum something or
another. It looked delicious. |

Me looking drugged. I wasn't drinking
but I was hurting as I'd had physical
therapy earlier that day. |

Most folks brought poems written by someone else; I read a poem I had written (mostly because I was told to). Mary Lou read a poem a student had written.
We always have a good time. It is a great bunch of ladies and we enjoy one another's company. Sometimes this is the only time I see these women, though I consider all of them my friends.
Book clubs are wonderful things.
i've always thought a book club would be so much fun! especially after reading "angry houswives eating bon bons" ;) i'm glad you had an enjoyable night out with friends!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a fun event, and that brandy something or other does look good.
