Bt-dubs, Book Club yesterday was the cutest. Katie was an excellent host, preparing the adorable spread above. (Some of us) read The Other Wes Moore—feelings about the book were mixed, BUT we did all agree that we all have the most adorably decorated apartments/houses and should probably form an interior decorating club. So there is that. Also, I ate bread with bacon in it courtesy of Elyse, you can’t tell the pescatarian gods, though because there ain’t no gods for that.
It was lovely to see you all, Katie, Steph, Lia, Elyse and Ashleigh. :)
All of the above! Many thanks to Katie!
Next Meeting!
The lovely Katie will play hostess on Sunday, November 18th at 2pm - hope you can make it for snacks, drinks, and awesome company!
Winner! Get cracking, folks.
Next Meeting!
Steph will host on Saturday, September 8th at 2pm.
