Quick- gotta make it in January

I have had a fabulous January so far. You have never lived until you've gone to a pajama party with a group of older women. (I am the oldest).

It was a get together of our Book Club to discuss the dread "Atlas Shrugged" ... The book which has 1069 pages of miniscule print. I finally managed to finish it, and we had a lively discussion.

The main problem is getting a word in edgewise with this talkative bunch, so we started to use the speaking stick. When you have the stick, no one else can talk. Then you can pass it on, to the next person who wishes to speak. Works great.

One of the funniest things about this is that people are so amazed that old women could have a pajama party. We had a ball.

We also watched the movie "August Rush." We all highly recommend it.

How much fun it is to have a group of friends to laugh with. Take care

I had just about despaired of finding another "still kickin'" Wish I could have been in your pajama party. I don't think I could have waded through Atlas Shrugged. Fran

Coming in at number "4" . . .

Sounds like a good time at the pajama party!

So, you finally finished ATlas Shrugged. Proud of you. I know it was a challenge.

We have our own version of your "speaking stick" at our Tuesday morning ~ we use the Penny. It is a good problem to have though ~ means everyone feels secure enough to share.
See you at the gym!!
