It just occurred to me that I should mention our book club get-together last Sunday. It had been re-scheduled from two weeks before, when we got our only major snow-dump of the year (so far, cross your fingers). Here's a photo of folks hanging out in the kitchen, where a lot of hanging out tends to happen at our house. This was shot before the Wolfs arrived and added to the bounty. This day turned out to be the 'gin-and-tonic inaugural' day of the spring, as it got up into the 50s. A lovely day and it was so good to see everyone together.
The book we read this month was Trailerpark by Russel Banks. Carrie had picked it and I think everyone got something out of it. Like most of his stuff, it had its depressing aspects, but there was also a nice sprinkling of resilience too. He is a powerful, gifted writer and I'm glad we read this book.
On a side note: I've added a link to Ann Rauvola's flickr site in the Links column on the right. Ann is a dear friend of ours, a graphic designer and a talented photographer. Check out her page when you get a chance.
