Hi, ladies-
Well, I think my time with the lovely Provo Book Nook has come to an end. As much as I have really enjoyed meeting with all of you and reading our book selections, now that I am in Pleasant Grove, it doesn't make as much sense anymore, you know? Long distance book clubbing isn't really working too well for me at this point.
I really did love my time with the group and am glad that it is growing and doing well. I will miss getting to see my book friends, but hope that we can keep in touch.
Happy reading and have a great rest of the year!

hello again
Holy busy week! Sorry I have been neglecting the book club : )
Ok, here is the rundown: So far, like Raven said, we have a dessert and Laura's side-dish. I will go ahead and bring the main dish (I'm thinking vegetarian lasagna because it could feed all of us and would be yummy with Laura's side-dish). We could have Amy bring a second side-dish and I think we'll be good to go.
Does anyone already have a bunch of paper goods? I can bring napkins and cups for sure.
Lets get a volunteer for :
Paper plates/utensils
Drink
Rolls
That way everyone is bringing two things, just enough for about 9 people (max-- Amy said Dusty might not be able to come, and Shaylie doesn't eat enough for a full person ; ).
Let's meet at 6 p.m. at Vivian Park in Provo Canyon. I can try to come early and stake us a table that we can all congregate too.
Also, Amy and I will be distributing our CD for next book club, and sorry Raven, but I think we had better keep it early in OCtober as planned so we'll be on schedule for Nov. and Dec.
Please bring your recipe books if you have any recipes you want to share at our "meeting" and feel free to bring frisbees/balls ect. to keep our husbands busy while we gab.
Does this cover everything???

What is everyone bringing...
To the potluck? I just want to make sure we have it all covered. Looks like so far we have:
Side: Marcie's tomato cheese thing
Dessert: Raven's mini Oreo cheesecakes
That would be a pretty meager dinner...lol. The main dishes don't have to be pricey if you guys want to do a pasta or something like that.
Anyone?

October's meeting
Hi, ladies-
So, I just found out that I'm going to be out of town from Oct. 10-17. Since there will be so many people at this meeting, why don't you just go ahead without me? I've been the schedule mixer-upper recently, so I don't want to mess this one up too. I'll write some comments on the board before the meeting or something.
Anyways, we'll see you next week!

I motion to...
Change the name of our group to The Provo/Pleasant Grove Book Nook! lol Just kidding.
I have been so bad about cooking from the cookbook I said I would try. Maybe it was because the first 2 recipes I tried weren't that great! I will try to find a dessert to bring. So, I call dibs on dessert!
It'll be great to see you guys next week!

Reflecting
Guess what? We're almost to 100 posts : ) Granted, 25 of those were in our first month, and now, 8 months later it has taken us to get this far : ) (sorry for the convuluted sentence structure).
Anyway, I was looking back on our past posts and thinking about what we've read:
TJED, Pride and Prejudice, Anatomy of Peace, Finding Peace, Joy and Happiness, Jackrabbit Factor, Unique Ability, Cookbooks and now Family Scripture Study. I don't know about you guys, but I definetly feel that all of these books impacted my role as either mother, wife, or woman in some way. Thanks for being apart of this group!
You guys rock!

let's get together, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ok. Here is the final lowdown. I think.
Our next meeting is Saturday, Sept. 22 at 5 p.m. at a park. My two cents would be to just make the drive up to that upper park in Provo Canyon (I dunno the name), or to go to Rock Canyon park. Somewhere where we don't see the traffic from our picnic bench.
Everyone post what they would like to bring. There is four of us so if we have two main dishes and two side dishes we should be ok. My book was a salsa book, and since I don't think that necessarily goes with a dinner, I will just make something from my other new cookbook, the vegetarian one. Please post what you will bring (first come, first serve). Don't forget to bring spouses and children :D
Ok, on to Oct. Our next book is "Family Scripture Study" by Gene R. Cook. Amy and I will be making copies and distributing them. Or .... we could try e-mailing the file to you Raven through yousendit.com, that might be easier. Amy or Laura, would one of you like to volunteer to be the "parent" to lead our scripture study discussion for the meeting in October? The date of our next meeting will be Saturday Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. We will simulate the scripture study techniques that we learned through our reading.
Is that everything???
Oh yeah, I don't know how often Emily will be posting becuase she doesn't have the internet at home, but I know she will def. be at the meetings.
Make it a great week!

Welcome, Emily!
Just a quick welcome to our newest member, Emily. We're excited to have you with us!
So, it sounds like we're meeting on the 22nd, is that right? For a potluck dinner? Do we want to decide who will bring main dishes and desserts, etc.? I'm looking forward to getting in to our next book.
Oh, and are you still Turbo Jamming, Amy? Are you going to do the training in October?

My vote
Sept. 22 and Oct. 13 work great for me. so we just bring one dish to share, is that right? what time? around 6ish?
for the books, I think the "everything I need to know...." by John Bytheway sounds most appealing to me. me and tim have already started listening to the mission statement one and are working on that. so....yea, there's my two cents. :)

Meeting Time
Hey Ladies! I'm trying to work out a meeting time ... All of a sudden September has become a crazy month! I know this is kind of late in the month ... but could we do Friday night the 21st? I have something on the evenings of the 13, 14, 15, 17,18, 19, 20. No Joke. (Actually that's not true, Trent has about half of those days and I have the others, but I would like him to be there since it is a FAMILY picnic : ) Soo.... we could do it the 21st, but I was thinking we could always choose a book before then, and start reading so that our next meeting doesn't have to be late in Oct. Does that work?
I don't have any book ideas yet .... ummmmm ... I was thinking it would be fun to read something about strengthening the marriage relationship, though I don't know of any really good books (that go beyond the basics : You need to communicate, you need to spend time together ... oooohhh wow, imagine that).
I know Amy has access to online books, so maybe we could do one of those this month, and simply listen to a book.
Post your feedback asap and we'll get moving on our next book selection.
