Pie in the Sky

Starting to put out Christmas decorations. Candles in the windows, lights outside, two banners.

One of the banners that I made a couple of years ago. Got to work on a couple of quilt projects this afternoon. In the process of organizing my sewing/quilting/crafting area - a slow process for sure. My book group met Monday night. A rather disjointed discussion. We missed our October meeting due to Hurricane Sandy and then the snow storm. Plus with all the catching up it was hard to focus. Almost everyone liked Deadline (except one which didn't surprise me). I was flattered when three members said they had recommended the book to teachers to be included in the curriculum. One (a principal) asked two students (a boy and a girl) to read it to get their feedback. I am really curious as to their reactions. Everyone enjoyed Work Song. That was a better discussion- we learned about the expression "pie in the sky", labor unions, the little red book among other things. Very descriptive writing. Would like to read more by Ivan Doig. Our next meeting is our annual Christmas Party with Yankee swap. Potluck dinner with good friends- doesn't get better than that!
