Met last week for our annual Christmas Potluck and Yankee Swap. No book as everyone felt they were too busy to read and discuss. Lots of good food, great company and fun gifts. Made another change to our calendar- the book of poetry (Drive By Heart) is now the January book and The Women Who Raised Me was moved to February. Still need book selections for the rest of the year. My husband gave me the children's book It's A Book which is absolutely delightful and fun. And not just for children. Have been reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. Slow start for me but finally getting into it. Busy with holiday preparations. Have baked 8 doz. cookies for the town Community Services dept. and another 5 doz for my family. Finished the family sugar cookies today. Labor intensive- cinnamon sugar, nonpareils, red and green colored sugars - but yummy and worth the effort.
