I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight for the book club meeting! I saw some friends I haven't talk to in a long time - @Robert Kuehnle ! Remember next month we are moving the book club meeting to 2:00 pm central time to try and make it more convenient for everyone and just o try something new. The month after that we will do it in the morning to see if we can get our UK members a chance to be at the meeting. Alright Good night!

Hello Big Book Love Book Club Members! I just got back from my youngest daughter’s Destination Wedding in the Pacific Northwest. The wedding happened in the HoH Rainforest in the Olympic National Forest, one of the most beautiful places I have been in the world. I had to purchase a Wolfe poncho as really cold on ferry rides, early in the morning and at night. Fantastic week of meeting of all sides of family there as we were staying in airbnbs on lakes, at the beach and for me in the 20O foot forest. I literally almost ran into a bear as I came around the corner to go to our tree house. Exciting, we both escaped uninjured. I loved everything and if I could I would live there but gas was nearly $6.00 a gallon, yikes. While there I learned of a new haircut, the Wolfe cut, so when I arrived back to DFW airport it was 93 degrees. So I gave myself a modern spikier version of the 70’s Farrah Fawcett and then gave my hair the summertime color of summer blue, aquamarine to be exact. My hair will be up for the rest of the summer as the heat Will be in the 100’s. So book club today at 5:00 pm Central Standard Time and we know everyone is on the go, but some important announces. Hope you can be there and the next photo is of the bride and groom. More coming on my personal page on Facebook. Bringing iced coffee!!! Soon!
