It was such an enjoyable lunch and book chat today, with varied discussions and a bevvy of books! The photo shows some of them, although the one on the left with the lavender book mark was not read, even though the author was at the table. That’s because this is the Ukrainian language edition of Marsha’s novel, Stolen Girl! Jean, our resident historian, brough three fascinating older books, shown above: Man and his world, which we all remembered from high school, Herstory III and a charmingly illustrated book called Still Glides the Stream. Norah told us about the book she’s reading, pictured above, called Lady in Waiting, and she’s really enjoying it. Our newest participant, Jeanne, had an eclectic and interesting variety:

We have fast walkers and slow walkers in our Tuesday morning walking group. We have some who arrive late but jog to catch up and some who take their time and take pictures along the way or identify each bird call as it sounds. Some revel in the rain while others bring umbrellas. No matter what your thoughts are on a perfect walk, ours are all about friendship and exercise and great conversation. None of us is perfect, but we are all interesting and interested.
