It's always fun to get together and especially so when all of us are able to be there. That was the case this month as we gathered at Carolyn's home on a lovely afternoon in May. We started our meeting outside, enjoying the blue skies and many flowers in her garden, moving indoors as the evening progressed.

Since it had been a while since we'd all been together, it was quite a lengthy meeting - almost 6 hours! - before shared news and our book discussion had been completed. Our book this month, The Shanghai Diary, told us of an unknown facet of history that left us all surprised and a bit uncomfortable. We were, to a one, all pleased to have read it.

Our book for our next meeting will be Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. See you at the beach!
