September 30, 2018 Meeting at Mary Jo's House


Riverrun Book Club 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.

Judy Hart:                  Are you back on the email list – let me know.
Judy Siegel:               Missed your notes on this one

Hopefully you have all received Stephanie’s email re Euromaidan.
