It was a mildly overcast day, just bright enough to make you squint, but not so hot you needed to cool off in the water. The rain threatened off in the distance, but nothing dampened our spirits. We laughed, we ate tasty foods, laughed some more, and completely relaxed around the pool.
While the rest stayed through the night, I had to leave early to get Colton to baseball. I so didn't want to leave. Its one thing to have a group of women make you feel like a part of their group. Its another thing to feel more than just accepted, and truly embraced and valued.
Back row, L to R: Shauna, our host, Heidi, Jill, Heidi, Jen. Front row L to R: Suzanne, Nikki (who is definitely wearing clothes and allowing me the use of her knee to sit on) myself and Pam.
I have some exciting news to share in the next few days or so... stay tuned!
we used to have a group like this....we rarely discussed books and instead lived each other's lives and truly bonded....xo

I love book clubs! And you're right...it's only sometimes about the book. I met one of my dearest friends through a book club. :)
ReplyDeleteVicky, what fun! And hey, if stories and words are what bring you together, that makes a lot of sense and is a great source of binding -- no pun intended, really! :) Yay for book clubs! I've never been involved in one but can imagine I'd love it if I were.
