Best Reads of 2009

Sometimes at our meetings we talk about books. Of course, most of the titles are lost to memory before we get out the door. Here is a list of links to a number of 'best of' sites. If you find a good book, post the title so the rest of us can read it. :)

The geese are getting fat

Do you have your $3 gift?  Not $10, not $5, but a re-gift is ok!  That was the decision at the last WWE.     For those of you who missed the birthday celebration at Ellen's, you also missed a surprise visit by Carol Newell and Becky Rooker.  It was great to see both of them.  Mary Anne will be hosting the December WWE on the 18th.  Hope to see everyone there!

Holiday meeting

We will meet in December at Mary Ann's house. (It's a tradition) and exchange $3 gifts. Be creative my friends.

November meeting

uhoooo, I ate too much. It was mostly salad but there was that incredible chocolate cake to finish the meal off. Gayle and Ellen celebrated birthdays and the rest of us celebrated each other. Carol N. returned for the week-end and twinkled with the news of a boyfriend with whom she has been going out for an entire year.

We must demonstrate

Sarah Palin is coming to Hastings for a book signing. Why is she coming here, the only blue spot in the entire red state.
