Book Club

I have recently joined a book club. It used to be a meal group that I joined with a local church. The official meal group season ended in May. The girls in my group however, have decided to start a book club. I have never been in a book club before. I don't really know how it goes. I love the one I am in now, and I worry that when someday I go to another book club, I will find that it will not be as fun. We sit around and talk about life, and joke at one another's circumstances. We discuss brief thoughts and feelings about the book. There really isn't too much structure. I love it. It's so nice to have girls in your life who you don't see all of the time, but you still feel comfortable sharing with them your experiences. I like the book we are reading. It is called Ten Thousand Splendid Suns. I am not too sure what the title has to do with the book yet. But I hope it means something.
Today at book club we met at Lake Nokomis, and we had sandwiches, chips, potato salad, cookies, donuts and mojitos. We people watched and laughed at a woman who carried a stick like it was an extension of her right arm. These girls are all around my age, and its refreshing to know that there are some of us who still arent' married.
I am a little sad though, most of the girls in the group have lives to live in other places, and they will be moving soon. I will miss them alot. Sometimes I wonder why God has led me to meet these girls just to watch them leave. I won't know for a while. He could be showing me that it's not that hard to meet new friends. He also could be telling me that I don't need a man in my life, or the other way around. It's really up in the air.

On a random note, tonight I was hungry when I got home from all of my running around, and I was making turkey sandwiches for when I go to the beach tomorrow. Next to the turkey and cheese were a jar of peanut butter, and some honey. I decided to make myself a peanut butter, cheese, and honey sandwich. Now when you think about this initially, it would be gross, but it was actually quite tasty. I wouldn't offer this treat to anyone else, but it is going to be my own discovery.
