BOOK CLUB DAYS
Book club days, days of talk of stories read. And too, so much more to these sessions. Birthday cakes and birthday songs, even those who thought they couldn't sing would join in.
Food fashioned after stories read, muffins, pelau, sandwiches juices, wine. All these foods finding their platters at our meeting table.
And then those days we leave the meeting room to socialize a bit. Walks, rainforest trips, hikes, all bringing us together as we fashion our own stories that we may look back on.

I love the thought of spending time with a book club... sounds so quiet and different from what we have at the moment.

Happy Independence Day anniversary, Gillena! I would love to join a new book club; ours was closed down for the pandemic and hasn’t reopened because the library remains shut. Walks and hikes sound better suited to the current situation. I love the paperbark tree haiku.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your appreciation Kim
