Bookclub

Bookclub ended up being nice.  4 people total plus one on zoom (not the one who requested it BTW).  The restaurant was empty except for occasional people picking up takeout.  We had an entire area to ourselves so that inside worry wasn't an issue at all.  The zoom participant got the short end of the stick, but we tried to include her.  She could only see one person and barely hear the conversation, but she seemed happy to join.

Not one of us read the book -- everyone said the same ... dry and boring.  One of the women is a lawyer and couldn't get through it either.  She's read other books about RBG.  I rewatched the documentary so I could speak about her and that worked fine.

Moral of the story -- go with a good attitude.  The conversation was interesting and it was nice to get out.  We stayed over 2 hours.  All of us choose to get takeout for dinner instead of eating there.  The drive was long, but it was worth it.

Here's the new heart necklace I got for ME from ME for Valentine's Day -- made by a local artist.  Also the "missing" ring in the picture and my new phone case.  The Apple case cracked and peeled -- disappointing quality.  Only downside is I need to use a plug in charger again.  It has a thin pocket to hold ID or a card.






A couple of things arrived from Etsy.  The pitcher is WAY bigger than I expected so it's not going to work for the mantel.  I might be able to do a swap and make it work in another area -- I like it.  Guess I should've paid more attention to dimensions.  The bottom is okay and that's what I looked at but didn't connect the dots to mean the rest was too large.  I also got a nice tissue cover -- fits the vintage vibe, but it's newly made by an Etsy crafter.





Today is nothing but maybe a library run if the spirit moves me out of the house.  I canceled the hike and I'm still glad for that decision -- it's still raining this morning.  A last minute leisurely woods walk came up for this afternoon and dogs welcomed.  I came close to signing up but it's over an hour away.  That's too long to leave Monti alone -- he'd be upset.  I'll long walk Duke at home.

Okay, that's all from here.  Hope you're set for a good week.  Later gators.
