Hi everyone,



Welcome to my Blog, under construction, as I am learning as I go. A bit like my life!!
I attended my book club today for the first time in 3 months. After depositing all of my quarters, at 12 whole minutes per at *now operating parking meters, even though it isn' t Memorial Day yet *, and standing at the Bookstore door, I was told by the staff that the club was meeting elsewhere. They very kindly called one of the members who was ironically hosting the meeting in her home, gave me directions and off I went, missing only 10 minutes of the discussion. The book was "The Year of Magical Thinking" , which I didn't like much at all. Apparently most of the group felt the same , mostly because her accounting of her loss was so cold and unemotional.
Of all the books we've read, this is my least favorite.
We are having one more meeting before a summer hiatus. One of the other members is hosting it and in Sept. we go back to the bookstore when the meters are removed.
The selection for June Is "Manhunt", by James Swanson.
Jim goes to a surgeon tomorrow to see about having the fistula made in his forearm. The catheter is not for long term use. We've really been on the go.. 2 trips to Baltimore this week, my club, his treatments. My veggie plants have been sitting on the patio for 2 weeks. Gotta get those bad boys in.
