Book Club - tiny beautiful things

 photo Tiny_Beautiful-330_zps51ddad58.jpg
Great book by Dear Sugar (Cheryl Strayed)
Like Dear Abby with an attitude.
They just dig. It's too much paint.

Tiny beautiful things like beanies and weenies, massive marshmallows, enormous skewers and lots and lots of Divas surrounding Leslie's spectacular bonfire.

Dear Sugar,
Stop on by next time. You'll fit right in.

Lovely Leah

My Mah Jongg group has been yelling cracks and bams for almost fifteen years, huddling at dining room tables a couple of times a month, watching kids run around, getting ready for bed, then running off to college and leaving the nest, watching the husbands pop into the kitchen for a snack, then escape to the semi-quiet of a back room somewhere. These days we're lucky enough to catch up at a table at Fry's for a few hours worth of games, but that doesn't stop the yelling. This month we've got two BIG things to shout about - babies! Holly's little Leah and Brian's cutie Gabriel.

Time flies when you're having fun...
