New E-mail

I haven't been here in a while. Sometimes I had a hard time getting in. So now that I have a new e-mail address, I created a new account and am starting over. Hopefully this works. I hope everyone is well. I'm really sad I missed the last book club dinner because I loved our last book and looked forward to hearing what all of you had to say. I hope all is well with you. I do have a new e-mail which is bscoville@nwi.net if you want to make a note. Thanks.

Happy Tuesday!

I am so glad Esther posted this Blog for us to all keep in touch!

UPCOMING EXHIBIT

Hi Everyone,

I just want to let you know about an upcoming basket exhibit that will be showing my work. It is "Containers, Containment and Contents" presented by the Arts Council of Snohomish County and featuring work by members of Northwest Basket Weavers Guild and Northwest Designer Craftsmen. The exhibit runs Jan 9 - Feb 12, 2009, with an opening reception on Friday, Jan 9 from 5 - 8 pm. This exhibit is running in conjunction with an exhibit at the Bellevue Arts Museum called "Intertwined: Contemporary Baskets from the Sara & David Lieberman Collection". This is a traveling exhibit organized by the Arizona State University of Art, Tempe, AZ, which will run through March 22, 2009.

Hi all,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. At our Christmas book exchange gathering, we decided to have our next book club meeting on Feb 18th, 5:30pm at Claudia's house. Please let us know on this blog site if anyone has a conflict with this date. This should give everyone enough time to read our selection "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle". - Basket Lady

Ok, I finally got in - what should I bring tonight besides books, paper etc. ?  Wine, desert,  bread?

I'll probably call since I don't trust that this will get posted.

Time for Dinner Meeting

I found out that I will be able to start our dinner earlier than usual. I would like to schedule it at 5:00 PM. I am going to make soup, salad, bread and cheese.. my usual fare! The upcoming weather sounds very chilly, so we will just play it by ear. Safety is foremost, and please don't feel you must attend if the weather is inclement.

I am really enjoying The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I think if I'm correct, that Melanie would be the next one to choose, and then Debbie, and then me. Be thinking and if you can decide early, let me know so that it is easier for Paula to get us copies. Thanks!

Yeah (i think) for snow!!!

Communication

Communication~great for marriages and book clubs. Great idea, Esther, I mean Granny! If I ever get to be a grandmother, I want my grandkids to call me Grammie~because I used to have a Grammie who was my best friend while I was growing up. Grandparents can be extra-special people.
Look forward to seeing everyone on the 18th!!!!!!!!!
Melanie
Melanie's Current Reading List: Brunner & Suddarth's Medical-Surgical Nursing in two volumes. Current section being studied: Intestional and Rectal Disorders--important topics but can be "deep" at times;). Only 20 pages to go before moving on to Volume 2 which starts with Metabolic and Digestive Function~gets me reminiscing about all the exciting meals we've shared as a Book Club. I do find nursing an exciting adventure~my cup of tea!!!!!!!
