Stormy July Meeting

We were welcomed by the co-hosts Katherine and MJ!   At Katherine's lovely home in the woods near Jordan Lake.

Great spread - lots of chatting before we got down to "book club business".

Most enjoyed parts of the book -  Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Eirk Larson.  The summary of the comments are that we would have enjoyed a little more "drama" rather than mostly a history lesson.  But, we all agreed that we had learned some things about the lead-up to the involvement of the USA in WWI.

Worthy of note is that there was a LOUD and CLOSE lightning strike during one of two thunderstorms that blew over!

Of much entertainment value was Katherine's lovely little dachshund.   I tried to get a photo of him.....but he was just an energetic blurr.

Even Nancy couldn't hold him still!!!

MJ chose the August book - Karma's Little Helper, is by a local author, Sharon Graham.  It is available on Amazon - or contact MJ if you want her to pick you up a copy.

Tentatively the August meeting will be the 5th Tuesday - August 30th at Karen's house (if MJ confirms that the author is available that day).
