Today I am dreaming of springtime, flowers, and warm breezes.
In any color but gray!
On Wednesday night most of the woman from our UWBookclub meet and we held our 10th Dinner With a Movie night. Whenever the book our club has just finished reading has been made into a movie, we rent it and meet at a member's house for dinner & to watch the movie. I think it really enhances the book - adds another layer to it. It is very interesting to not only discover how different each one of our views & ideas about the book were different but to also compare the book & the movie.
To date we have gathered as a group to watch the following movies (we always read the book first): Enchanted April, Age of Innocence, A Farewell to Arms, A Handmaids Tale and last night we watched the Good Earth. I won't get into a big book vs. movie discussion but I will say ... I loved the book - I did not like the movie. Not at all ...
This time I hosted the dinner and I am happy to report that a good time was had by all. I really enjoyed making dinner (Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Bread Sticks, Veggies & Dip and Fresh Fruit & Dip and a bottle of wine). It was so nice to see everyone and just visit & chat for a while before & after the movie for a while. And can I say, they are such a wonderful & amazing group of women!
Mike & I are leaving early tomorrow morning to spend the weekend in Portland. So, chat amongst yourself and I'll be back on Monday.
Have a Great weekend & Happy Valentines Day
