Well, that's my last batch of Valentine Day cookies made for John's work mates. The retirement clock is running down fast and just a couple more weeks of that 4:30 AM alarm. We were talking last night about how nice that will be when Daylight Savings Time starts again and he's retired. It was always the nastiest morning of the year.
Anyway, things are pretty quiet up here this week. My new book group meets this afternoon at a home just a few blocks from here. I'm looking forward to meeting the other members for the first time. All are retired and live in West Seattle. Sweet-- no driving across town in rush hour traffic.
The book this month is Barbara Kingsolver's excellent novel "Unsheltered." It follows two families living in the same house at different time periods in Vineland, New Jersey. So many non-fiction books have already been written about current American politics, but this is one of the first novels I've read with the themes of what people are thinking and feeling. And Kingsolver is a master of her craft.
