During the month of Des Moines

Hello again ladies. I've taken it upon myself to update the blog again. I've listed the books we did not select, as well as the official book club choice for the month of Des Moines.

We had a lovely time at Brooke's home on Wednesday. She has a secret recipe for a caramel dip that is like crack. Damn you! Her co-worker made her promise not to share the recipe. Of the ladies present, only one finished the book, again. Twas alright. We managed to get a lot of discussion out of the parts we did read, so go us!

Brooke will lead us through a discussion of The Center of Everything by Laura Moriarty on Wednesday January 14th. I will be hosting that evening. We'll start at 7 PM. Hopefully, I will have my apartment ready, but be on your toes, I may host at a restaurant.

In other non-book club news, Carissa is serving on the board of directors for the Des Moines Gay Men's Chorus. Their holiday performances are Des Moines 18th & 19th at the Temple for the Performing Arts. A group of ladies expressed interest in going together for the Friday night performance. Getting a little dolled up. Having a few cocktails (or mocktails). General good times had by all. If you're interested in attending either night, contact Carissa for tickets.

That's about all. I hope everyone had a lovely Turkey Day. Mmm, food coma.....
