Margaritas......Ole!

Meeting at Mary Jo's Colonel Spencer Inn http://www.colonelspencerbb.com/ We did not need to read a book set in Mexico to enjoy a Sunday afternoon Margarita and a Mexican menu. Recipe for the Lasagna Ole can be found at http://riverrunrecipes.blogspot.com/

Book discussed was "The Scapel and the Silver Bear" by Lori Alvord http://www.amazon.com/Scalpel-Silver-Bear-Combines-Traditional/dp/0553378007/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256518757&sr=1-1
All but one of us liked this book about a Navajo woman who studied at Dartmouth University to become a physician. Spoke of integrating traditional Navajo healing with with modern western medical practices.

We discussed the need for members of our group to share information about good doctors in our area....or further south. Kathy will compile a list of recommended doctors and share with the group.

Plans were made for our December 6, meeting, where our book selection is "The Housekeeper and the Professor" http://www.amazon.com/Housekeeper-Professor-Novel-Yoko-Ogawa/dp/0312427808/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256519650&sr=1-1

We will meet at 1:00pm at Pembrook. This is our holiday meeting and time to share "Stone Soup" once again. Members will bring soup makings, etc. for our feast. Dont forget to bring a NEW book for our annual Yankee Book Swap. Please wrap this gift.
