Meeting Notes...

BIG thanks to Candice for a wonderful book club night on Friday! My sides still hurt from laughing and I had so much to think about as you will see from this post.

Further to the Birth House discussions, the Boston Molasses Disaster was a true story! Complete with pictures, the story is here.

Click here for a modern day midwife's home birth list and a great account of one here from that blog I was telling you about that I read. On the list...crock pot, a medium bowl for the placenta, olive oil, gatorade, flashlight, peroxide for blood stains, car with gas (just in case!)...sounds like not much has changed since 1918. I don't know about you...but that just ain't for me! For the complete story of the blog I was telling you about as featured in Sunday's NY Times click here. It is such an amazing story. Apparently there are 19,999 other people besides me who tune in to her blog now.

I can host the next meeting! Here is the agenda!

Drink Wine

I googled and googled this morning for that darned classic book list I used to reference, but could not come up with it. I am excited for this new Classic Christmas book exchange and I think it's a great new twist for us.

My first choice for next year is Heather's Pick "The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society" and the second is "Suite Francais". They both are have story lines taking place in WWII Nazi occupied areas of Europe. Along with Anne Frank that I hope to read this year, this could be the year of WWII, as last year was the year of Afghanistan. Funny how that happens!

Be sure to check out my list of blogs and websites on the side bar, that is where I do most of my reading when I'm not working! You asked...I answered.

I'm thinking Ocotber 1, 3 or 8th for Book Club meeting...anyone already booked up? Let me know.
