Mr. Hooton & The Gals

Wow. Matthew Hooton is one impressive cat! I think all who attended Tuesday's meeting would agree that it was a fabulous night. Matthew was very gracious and generous, and he had a great sense of humour to boot! I'd like to thank everyone who attended for your great questions & gorgeous food. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect evening!

Hope you all enjoy the pictures...we're sporting some pretty big grins! (Apologies to Jemaica who arrived after we caught the photos.)

PS To Sue and Sue, who both contributed to the gift certificate for Matthew but didn't get a chance to attend our meeting, he seemed genuinely excited about going book-shopping!

Deloume Tomorrow Night!

Just a quick reminder that our Deloume meeting is tomorrow night! If anyone is up for bringing something gluten & dairy free for dessert, it would be welcome! Otherwise, just bring your fine self! We'll be in the back yard so you may want to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Deloume Meeting

Hi Ladies!

(This post was emailed to everyone, but I thought I would post it here in case anybody was missed...)

Next Tuesday is our Deloume Road Book Club Meeting with Matthew Hooton!!! Hope you enjoyed the book.

I'd love to get a sense of how many will be in attendance next Tuesday and what you'll be bringing. I know it's not our usual style to plan the meal ahead of time, but if you could let the group know if you're bringing a salad, appie or dessert, then I can fill in any gaps. (Summer-fare...even better if we do it oven-less!)

I was thinking that I'd invite our club to come at 7:00, and I'll tell Matthew to arrive around 7:30. I'm guessing we'll probably spend less time mingling and get into the discussion after we've had a bite.

Please have a question in mind to fire at Matthew. He's expecting to read a little excerpt from the novel, then take questions from us. I know some gals were reluctant to have a prepared question and take turns asking them, but rest assured that it won't be like poetry night where the spotlight is on us, the spotlight is on Matthew! It'll just be good to have a launching point for discussion, but I'm sure it'll be very organic and relaxed!

Oh, one last thing. As luck would have it, I've been scheduled to have a minor eye (lid) surgery Tuesday afternoon, so if you see me wearing an eye patch, don't be alarmed. It isn't a pirate party. ( Be kind.)

This will be fun!
