 Afternoon at Jane's

      We were down by 3 of us, but we had a great time around Jane's dining room table wolfing down a wonderful spread! Everyone liked Instructions for a Heat Wave, so most of the conversation was enjoyably social. 

     We are meeting next on Wednesday September 21st at Jan's condo apartment instead of in Port Hope since Jan has to be in the city for the next morning. We did talk about a little "pre-bookclub" swim in the the condo's lovely pool, but we will wait for confirmation from Jan!
