So many books, so little wine...

My Boy and I went to Montreal last weekend. What a wonderful city. I love it there. I will post more on that later.

Last night was the second anniversary of my wonderful book club. Maria, Kari and I welcomed a new member (who I hope we didn’t scare too badly!) and had a blast. We had beef jerky, a shrimp ring, calamari, dehydrated desserts, homemade strawberry cupcakes (so good!!) some beer and two bottles of wine. Wow, what a night. If I’d remembered that it was our anniversary I would have brought a bottle of champagne. (Oh, and for the record, the weird food pertained to the book!!)
