A Few of My Favorite Things

Book Club was at my house tonight! We discussed the novel "The Swan Thieves" (which was so so) ate crepes and chit chatted about everything under the sun for over three hours. The evening combined so many elements that bring me joy: reading, friends, good food, a clean house, the kids at grandma's, mentally stimulating discussion and lots of laughter.


I almost forgot to take a picture to document the evening! Half of the ladies had gone home by the time my brain remembered to get the camera. Pictured from left to right are Mable, Yvonne, Carol, Colleen, Cathy D. and Kathy S. I'm behind the lens. These are wonderful women!

Tomorrow I will empty the laundry basket I swept everything into and stuffed into a closet in an effort to clear off all the counters of clutter and come across as the domestic goddess I dream of being. (Sigh) What can I say? Most of the time my house reflects the fact that people actually live here rather than a beautifully decorated space staged for a dramatic photo. Maybe I'll just toss it all in the garbage and hope none of it was important. Or not.
