We were a smaller group than usual when we met at Joy's for our discussion of "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks". Many of our members were off on vacation. Weather was ideal so we were able to sit outside on Joy's patio....enjoying her gardens and fish pool. Everyone seemed to have liked the book and were impressed that Lori works with the HELA cells. I believe that we could relate better to the book and the difference that Henrietta Lacks made to the scientific world through her cells.
Voted for our book selection for the August 21, meeting which will be held at Pembrook. Book chosen was "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" by Helen Simonson. http://www.amazon.com/Major-Pettigrews-Last-Stand-Readers/dp/0812981227/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1309200391&sr=1-1 I (Kathy) placed an order with the Thornton Library for this book.
Our next meeting will be on Sunday, July 31, at Celia's house. Book is "The Widows' War" by Sally Gunning. Books are available at the Thornton Library.
After book discussion, we enjoyed a delicious cool avacado soup, chicken tarragon salad, and other treats. Joy also served a wonderful Sangria along with snacks. We need the soup recipe. Will get it and post to www.riverrunrecipes@blogspot.com
