{June Book}

The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom.  Read it.  Love it, because despite the sadness of WWII it's supposed to be very uplifting and faith promoting.  I'm only into the 2nd chapter, myself but so far so good!  We'll discuss at our next meeting!

{Second Meeting and Strawberries Fontaine}

The second book club meeting was fun.  Fun and small.  Only 3 of us attended this time.  I dare say that Stake Meeting took most of our most avid supporters, and rightly so.  However, it is worth noting, the 3 of us enjoyed discussing The Secret Life of Bees and Sarah's Quilt immensely.  We all agreed that anyone who has read  The SLOB's must watch the movie and that Sarah Prine Elliott never catches a break.  And then we jibber-jabbered about our kids, and this and that and ate our delicious dessert -- of which I made way too much.  My family will be nibbling on torte shells and strawberries for the next few days.  But the book club goes on.  And we missed all who couldn't attend.  And thank you to my two devoted friends who did attend.  It was a pleasure spending an evening with you both. :)

Next month we will be meeting at the Brown's.  Same scheduled date and time.  Currently we are scheduled to read The Hiding Place next.  Kind of a nice change of pace.  If anyone is in the mood to read something else, please leave a comment or let me know by Sunday.  We will announce the final June book decision in RS.  I have heard through the grapevine that the Book Club read The Hiding Place last year, in which case another book would probably be best.

Maybe I'll make Strawberries Fontaine another time for us all because it was really tasty, and it's my dear Grandmother's recipe.  I think she'd be proud if I made it again.
