Hello all!
Hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving! We had a good time in Grants with our family, hopefully you all had a good time as well. I have to say that I was very upset that A Christmas Story wasn't on, but I made it through the day! Yesterday I put up our tree, and Kennedy has only eaten one glass ornament, and has only thrown away one mini house!!!lol It will be interesting to see how she reacts to presents under the tree. Ava decorated her mini tree, and is closer to liking Santa! Also if you listen to 99.5 it's x-mas music 24/7. I love it, Shane not so much.lol Oh well, it only comes once a year!
Have a Merry Christmas Month

(Did you know that Natalie mean "Christmas Child", that means I get more presents!!!)

Happy Thanksgiving
Hello All!
I hope you all have a great time this thanksgiving! Don't forget to give thanks that you have such a great friend like Natalie, and have been so fortunate to be in such an awesome book club! Be careful if you are traveling, and if you are going out of state then remember to bring back some kind of tourist crap for the rest of us to look at and enjoy, like state key chains or spoons. Or maybe some pet rocks or something! As for me and my family we are making our trek to Grants, home of the Pirates. (Ninjas are better, ((per Shane)) I am looking forward to spending time with family, and of course to the TBS marathon of A CHRISTMAS STORY! It rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Empire Falls
The Memory Keeper

Has anyone else read these?

Book Club Name
Hi all!
Well it looks like I gave the book club a name without getting permission from anyone. Just kidding, I would never do that, although I do like the name "TwelveOaks". We can discuss names and change them whenever you want, just recommend a name for discussion. And if anyone can tell me why I like that name I will give them a special surprise at the next meeting. Ok so I know you all are wondering why a blog! I thought it would be easier to have a dedicated page for the BC than the e-mail situation, since some e-mails were going to everyone and some only to selected people. Here we have a page that everyone can go to, post and do a discussion. Also we can us this page for out of towners that might want to read our books if they can go to the meeting. So if you have a friend who you think should read this book but can't attend our meetings then send them this blog site, and then we can discuss the book.
Now here is the deal, Shane is too busy to do my blog page for me, (also I think the fact that this isn't the first page or website I had him design and then didn't stick too also made him refuse to help me, although he did sweetly give me this link), so now I have to update the page and I am not good at it so give me some slack about it.
Ok, well that is all I have for now. Hope you all are doing good and either have read or are reading our second selection The Kite Runner.
