What a wonderful time we had at the book group luncheon! Long drive (worth it!) due to Friday holiday travel, but once my husband and I met a part of our book group, it was one of the most magical moments. To share online, a love of books and friendship, then meet these very people, men and women, it's an experience like nothing else. I have met one dear friend, Robin, from Oklahoma twice, we have been online friends since 1999 and it was the best visit. This time I stayed with another friend, Anne, who has been my online friend since 1999 as well. Seeing both women on Real Time was amazing!
So. Much. Fun.
We did talk about books at the luncheon, believe it or not. Then some of us, a smaller group, went to a used bookstore after, I was the only one who did not buy a book, I was too excited to concentrate!
So that was our big hit of this year. I am still job hunting (we won't go there.. it's exhausting) but this tiny trip though big in magic and fun, was what we needed.
On the trip two friends/members gave me a book each, I will list them below. I also found the book store in Mystic, Connecticut (it's not hard to miss, but I did, three times) and bought a couple of books there. I will post them too.
P.S. We went to The Aviary (link below their website pic) wonderful food and ambiance. They sure can tolerate a bunch of very happy book group members as well. Highly recommended if you are ever in Swansea, Massachusetts.
A book passed on by my friend, Paula.
A pass on from Anne. (Reading this now)

Thank you to my book friends and members, you made a dream come true by participating with exuberance on the book group and in real life, thank you so much! Love to all of you!
