Book Club

Yep, people.   I had 2 days of quiet so had to go,.   At M’s in her new retirement home, we had a nice lunch and here she is (on the left) showing us one of her 80th birthday presents - a towel from the Kusama show I couldn’t get tickets to at the Seattle Art Museum.   Closest I will get!

Small group of 5 today ….full of sorrow.    The husband of one of our beloved member’s died this morning, a shock even tho not totally unexpected. We will miss him, a good friend we have traveled with and appreciated over many years.   2 had to miss because of doctor appointments.  One was ill.   How did all this happen so fast?  Hate it.

The book was “the Orphan Train” by Christina Baker Kline about the trains from the East coast carrying orphaned or abandoned children to the midwest from 1853 to 1929 to be “adopted” or more often “used”.    A sad part of US history most of us never learned about.   This was a good quickly read story comparing an “orphan” today who befriends one of the old orphan children of that period.


Grateful for good friends and good books,.
