The "Old Neighborhood" has plenty to offer too....

This is my friend Nancy's home, decorated for Thankgiving. She hosted our book club on Tuesday night. We discussed "Salt to the Sea" by Ruta Sepetys. We all liked the book - but we're tired of reading about WW2 and Nazis!!


The table was set so nicely, with a bountiful centerpiece and "crackers" for each plate. I think we were supposed to keep them, but we all thought they were just decor.  

This darling turkey graced one end of the mantel. I hope his foot doesn't get singed  when the fire goes on!

The sideboard had its own decoration and candles too.  Too bad we didn't get any pics of the foods, but we had great appetizers, salad, scalloped potatoes, green beans, roasted pork loin and apples, and cupcakes and brownies for dessert.  It was all yummy, as usual. We have chosen our next book - "The Little Paris Bookshop", by Nina George.

    My book club is weary of WWII and Nazis, too - we read All the Light We Cannot See and The Nightingale, this year. :) It's always good to know what other book clubs are reading.

    I would love to start a book club in our little town. It would be interesting to see what books would be put up for selection.

    I remember when you would share the wonderful floral arrangements that you made. I miss that.

    Interesting to see what other book clubs are reading. We just finished neurologist Oliver Sacks autobiography, Moving On -- he wrote Awakenings. January will be Notorious RBG but have had some novels.
