December book - Akin


Sue hosted a hybrid meeting with optional Zoom for those stuck at home. Combining a real and virtual get together worked was an excellent compromise when indoors. The book was entertaining and so was the conversation. Susan, as usual, wowed everyone with a range of homemade Christmas baking. 

Our next book will be How the One Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones. We will meet at  1 pm at Wanda's house on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, corona virus permitting.
