I had lunch today with my book club,The Bookies.
We read the book "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein
If you haven't read it..please do
It is a story about life
It is a story about a dog named, Enzo
You will never forget Enzo
After our meeting we went to a Chinese Bistro
and had so much fun laughing and talking
about everything.
I left so content
content with my life
good friends
good book
good discussion
good food
It doesn't get much better
not even for a king
Oh, yes I loved that book. Life through the eyes of a precious doggie. Sounds like a good book club group. Lucky you. They all must love having you in the group.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you reading next for the book club? Just curious.
Lots and lots of rain, wind, thunder and lighting in CA.
Well this time I was in the glow of victory they loved the book..my choice....But I think sometimes I over analyze the writing and plot
ReplyDeleteWe are doing an oldie
The Man in the gray Flannel Suit
great quote.
ReplyDeleteyour book group meeting sounds lovely.
i have that book, but haven't gotten to it yet.
glad you liked it.

That books sounds good-- I will have to check it out. Your book club sounds wonderful. Love the Shakespeare quote, it is so true. I often try to regonize contentment in my own life. It's easy to miss if you aren't paying attention :o) Thanks for the reminder, Suz.
ReplyDeleteBethany and Golden bird I thought it was a great quote too
ReplyDeleteso many wise people
and they pass us so quickly
Yes Bethany..read it...
Goldenbird you sound contented lately making those socks!
What a day! And thanks for the book tip, I'm looking for a good read.
ReplyDeletethe book looks interesting-- I used to belong to a book club before moving north of Seattle-- have fond memories of discussions and eating dinner and disagreeing about the books
ReplyDeleteI love
ReplyDeleteGenuine disagreement
I especially like to talk about the writing
I love when we speak of the characters as if they were real...oh the thrill of a good book discussion
Hey Suz,
ReplyDeleteI tried to leave a comment on your writing closet post, but kept getting blocked. So here I am with good things to say about this post too. Love the book suggestion and I'll get a copy soon.
I understand about your writing closet. I have a shelf of blank, and not so blank, books, plus the computer. I cleaned out of my files recently and for the same reasons. The purge felt good!
Thanks for your comment on my hot dog post. I've had Chicago-dogs that have tomato and pickle. We enjoy all hot dogs, but on birthdays we tend to go for the "traditional" Carolina dog.
Lucky you. Lucky them.
ReplyDeleteLesa...Thank you..I think this purging is going to lead to something....raw onion by the way
ReplyDeleteRelyn..kindred souls you and I
I thought of you when I posted that shakespeare quote...it is so you
It was a wonderful book. I love Enzo. And yes, I was looking for Clifford in the restaurant. Great book. Great discussion. Great understanding. Because of you, the perfect facilitator. You do such a good job of bringing out every message in the book; things I didn't even think about. We got our money's worth!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best books I've read in a long time. Touching, honest, heartbreaking and crazy funny...especially the demonic stuffed zebra scene!
