The Book Club

On August 5th my dear friend Esther hosted the second meeting of our "official" book club...it's just the kind of book club that I would join: we meet once every 5-6 months; eat fabulous food lovingly prepared by Esther - who's house rules state that noone brings food and noone helps! - served on exquisite china, drinking from the best crystal goblets; we catch up on the lives of all participants, single, married, divorced, remarried...everyone has something to share, a new perspective to ponder; then we discuss the book (Hunger, by Rod Stanford started us out!). It is a wonderful gathering of people and ideas and I love the experience...Barry worked through the last meeting but DJ joined us and has been officially accepted as our youngest member.

Here is the hostess, properly adorned with her festive B-Day hat in celebration of Camille's 29th (again?!) birthday.
Here Ms. Roxane holds court...regaling us all with another of her stories!

Rod and John provided the male insights that we girls are always looking for. So wonderful to have well read brothers who are able to share their thoughts and feelings on a wide variety of subjects...

Master Doyle worked hard getting his "Auntie Es's" attention...

Group photos with the birthday girl! DJ got a little tired toward the end...book discussions can be taxing to a tiny tike!
