An enjoyable time for all at Mary's home. We feasted on pasties, green pizza, salads and strawberry shortcake. Reflecting our movie theater theme, Judy Bell brought Milk Duds and I brought popcorn. Nobody went home hungry!
Our book was "Virgil Wander" by Leif Enger, a captivating and whimsical novel which took us to small town upstate Minnesota. Full of humor, it viewed several aspects of life; its meaning, its heartaches, its second chances for redefinition, its forgiveness. Life not unlike that here in Entiat. The small town movie theater was a replica of the Ruby Theater in Chelan; this story seemed so familiar. I wrote several pages of quotes in my notebook and found this novel left me full of optimism for mankind.
"...I admire....your solitude. I never imagined such luxury."
"The surface of everything is thinner than we know. A person can fall right through, without any warning at all."
"Your tribe is always bigger than you think."
"Everyone wants to start again....Why are we here if not to grow!"
