[In today's mosaic: 3 words for 3 days of August and some Ixoras]
There were candles in a cellophane pack on the table, tiny candles in different colours. The plastic forks were still in their clear plastic package, as well. Busy hands were adding paper plates and cups, well really glasses around the square table. Another get together. Another day of book club meeting. The cake was frosted blue. A blue cake ! That was the repeated remark as persons filed in. Some with silent smiles, some with good mornings. The table looked sumptuous. Pies and sandwiches bottles of wine bottles of water and such like. I remember someone remarked whether this was a brunch club or a reading club. Laughter was the best answer on that day

on paper plates passed around -
now the birthday song

One down side of living up the lake most of the time is activities like book clubs are difficult to attend. I think it would be great fun to read a book and share thoughts (and tasty treats). - Margy

Laughter truly is the best medicine. A book club with a luncheon sounds divine to me.
