Book club on my screened-in porch! One of the most fun nights in a long time. We talked about The Help, which was a fabulous book that spurred really rich discussion. It is set during the nascent civil rights movement in Jackson, Miss., "where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver". The most interesting part of our group conversation was the diversity of perspectives. Only three of us were raised in the South and the rest are from Michigan or other northern states, and one girl is from Holland. It's so fun getting to know these new friends, and book club has been a great way to dive right in!
Mary Shelton (and Pat) were in town! We got to hang out with them after church, and she is always a breath of fresh air to me. I miss her so much while she's at school! Come home, MS!

Patty turned 17! Whoa! Remember when he turned 16? and 15? Wasn't that just yesterday? Sheesh.
We accomplished one of our unofficial goals for this year- celebrate remember each of the Bryant kids' birthdays! We even got each of them a present! Woo hoo! I'm really horrible with birthdays and birthday presents (case-in-point: I forgot/was late on David's grandma, dad and nephew this year... yikes. Granted, David did too!), so tacking these four was a pretty big accomplishment.
