September 2018 - Submitted by Ann S.
Another great day at Mary Jo’s. After wonderful soup and hors d’oeuvres Kathy
unveiled her udderly amazing new hand cream, worth every penny.
Actually it works great on my chapped hands,
thanks Kathy.
Ann F strongly led the
discussion on this deep and moving novel.
And then we had desert.
Seriously, it is
wonderful how this group can initiate a lively discussion on any book we
read. We talked about stereotyping, how
feeling good about one’s self initiates confidence, was there a moral issue to
adding cocaine, why doesn't the FDA regulate cosmetic ingredients? There was conversation
re things one depends upon from a partner in daily life, and women’s ability to
adapt when life changes.
