Dear Bookclub,
A fancy group feasted at Vintana's for our lunch time holiday gathering, enjoying the fellowship and discussion of Kate Atkinson's "Festive Spirits". Luxuriating in a mid-day respite, we had a nice opportunity to share our thoughts on recent reads, update each other on our lives and enjoy the festive surroundings. Not all had the chance to read our selection but those who did, appreciated the twist on holiday tales.
Missing the leader of our donation drive for "Gently Hugged", Julie was sadly absent, down and out with a bug. Donations were generous and the recipients at the headquarters in the Rancho Bernardo Winery were thrilled.

Jan gave me a tour of the operation and it is truly impressive as Julie knew! With over 100 volunteers, they are able to give out 800 bags a year, filled with clothing, books and a new quilt or blanket. If you hadn't checked out the website before, please do:

Finally, it was so nice to see so many at the RB Inn impromptu happy hour! I neglected to get any pictures but trust me, everyone looked marvelous!
Up next:
Happy reading,
LK
