In the Beginning

The beginning was really years and years ago - probably decades ago, but this book group is still going strong. We meet on the third Tuesday of each month to discuss our latest read, usually in someone's living room, kitchen, or out in their yard. There's often a pot luck dinner with fab food, but everyone is welcome even without a dish. We discuss so much more than the book. There's always good laughs, semi-deep discussions, new ideas, updates on things like vacations, new babies, local events, and our lives in general. It takes us a while to get around to the book. (Everyone is welcome even if they didn't read it.) The discussions are always interesting, and if we haven't read the book, we usually want to after the discussion. We learn about authors, places, history, and philosophy. Most of all, as we relate to different ideas and characters, we learn about each other and ourselves. The books we read and times we spend together enrich us, so this blog is started to share and organize some of our books, thoughts, and recipes. (We take field trips too!)

"If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."
