Book Club with a View

Our book club normally meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, but occasionally when one of us can't make it we will attempt to reschedule it in an effort to have all six of us there. This is no easy task for 6 busy women and we often end up feeling very frustrated as we sift through a long chain of emails trying to find a date that will work for everyone. We had to reschedule our May gathering but still ended up meeting without Michelle because our new date didn't work out for her. Then we had to reschedule our June gathering because both Michelle and Amy were going to be out of town, and after much trouble we finally settled on the 29th and then ended up meeting without Michelle and Jana! It's a problem. So our June gathering of 4 at Collette's house was just Collette, Me, Amy and Jenn, which was still fun but definitely the same as when everyone is there.

After sitting inside for awhile I asked if we could move outside to watch the rain because I know Collette has a fabulous covered patio. Oh la la I am officially in love! She has such an amazing view (this photo really doesn't do it justice). I told her she shouldn't be surprised if she comes home from work one day and finds me sitting out there.

We all had a comfy seat with a foot rest.

We had an excellent discussion of the book thanks to Amy who is always articulate and able to remember what she reads!

Collette was cracking us up with her lounge chair because every once in awhile she'd go from sitting up...

to an accidental full recline, but then would stay like that for awhile until she did it all again. Good times.

Because of all our scheduling conflicts we have decided to stick to our set night and to hope for the best, which is all fine and good except that our July gathering falls during our family trip to Colorado to see Kristi so I'm going to be the one who has to miss it! We're reading Mudbound and finally going to celebrate Jana's birthday which was clear back in May! Never mind that both Amy and I have birthdays in July, this is how far behind we are!

**Have you read this book?

Do you have a hard time scheduling with friends?

Do you have a nice outdoor set up?**

Comment Window Tidbit: Randy and I went to the movies to see "Larry Crowne" and then to dinner at Five Guys. It was nice to go out on a date and see a grown-up movie for a change.
