Nora’s Olive accompanied us on yesterday’s walk, and even though we encountered many dogs along the trail, she did not woof! A beautiful day for a walk!

Monday lunch book group: oodles of great reads!
We had such a great meeting and such great books to talk about. Norah O was totally captivated with Isola. Two others in our group have already read it, and heartily agree with her assessment. After reading The Things We Never Say, Jeanne C was so entranced that she went on to read Olive Kitteridge and the other novels by Strout featuring Olive Kitteridge. Two others in our group had read and loved The Things We Never Say, so will now have these other books to look forward to. Jeanne also let us know about the mini series (which is available on Crave) and a lot of us will be watching it.
Marian W brought a fascinating book of a century of obituaries of famous women. It’s the kind of book you could get lost in. Very interesting. Natalie P has begun to read in order the Tim Sullivan novels, which she assesses as very well-written mysteries. Leslie L has been doing the same thing with Donna Leon novels.
Rena R told us about Arundhati Roy’s newest book, Mother Mary Comes to Me, which she says, is like a memoir of the author’s, but framed through the filter of her relationship with her mother. Rena loved the book.
Marsha S shared two spanking new books, Exit Party, by St John Mandel (pub date Sept 15th) which is set in a futuristic dystopia that sounds all too familiar, and Malcolm Gladwell’s newest book The American Way of Killing (pub date Sept 30) which she says is Gladwell’s classic informative storytelling and a must-read.
Thursday night book club is more than just books!
We see the most wonderful things on our walks
Sometimes a heron will aim right for your camera!
Would you eat this fungus? It is actually edible (Chicken of the Woods), and another walker (not from our group) snipped a bit of it off to take home and eat, I wonder how she dealt with the POISON IVY that surely had rubbed all over it!
Monday’s book group
Will that be perch, or pickerel? (and definitely pie for dessert!)
Perch and pickerel were the most popular choices at the Erie Beach Hotel in Port Dover this past July. The Cove Room continues its decades-long tradition of bringing celery bread and a variety of salads to the table — and for offering tempting desserts to top off the day.
A lovely way to end the 2025-26 Dining Out season.
Monday afternoon book group
There were six of us today but we discussed a whole whack of books, had a lovely lunch, and didn’t have to do dishes!
Lunch and chat and books books books!
Our Monday lunchtime book group has wide-ranging taste!
It’s about the friendships as much as it is about the exercise
Sometimes it’s too hot to walk, or too cold to walk. Sometimes it’s the perfect day to walk, but no matter what the weather, there’s always a group of our walkers who find the time to gather and chat. That activity in itself is so soul-rewarding. Thanks, Norah O, for the great photo.
We walk, we talk, we admire the view …
Last week it was frost warnings, and this week it was heat warnings. No matter the weather, we walk, we talk and we admire the view! It’s always a great outing for our walking group!
