Our June meeting was at Linda Jenkins home, with yet another varied view of the Mississippi River and Minnesota bluffs. We had a lengthy social time, which I am always grateful for because I'm still getting to know all of the women in the neighborhood. And with Liz Webster finally in town for a meeting, it was fun to meet her after only "knowing" her via e-mail. Those attending were: Christe Berth, Ellen Bowes, Nancy French, Linda Jenkins, Annie Larkin, Judy Lee, Jo Smith, and Liz Webster.
The book this month was Breaking Free, edited by Marilyn Sewell. The book is a collection of essays by women in mid- to late-life. When we sat down to discuss the book, a number of members shared snippets that resonated with them. Unfortunately, I returned my copy of the book to the library before jotting down any of these thought provoking examples, so I am unable to post them here for those who weren't in attendance at the meeting. As is typical, we discussed how these citations related to our own lives.
Our selection for July (as previously reported) is The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.
We have also selected books for the next several months:
August: The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
September: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
October: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
Next meeting:
Location: Christe Berth's home
Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2014 (to avoid conflicting with Catfish Days)
Time: 6:30 pm
