When we met at Christmas I suggested that we look into making a loan through the organisation "Kiva". A small amount of our money( $10 or $15 from each of us) can make a huge difference to someone in another part of the world trying to better their lives.
Here is a link.....

(the little cartoon explains it briefly)
Let's talk about this when we meet, just thought if you read about this ahead of time it would take less time to organise it.
Cheers.

Changes
Hey Ladies,
Quite a few changes since the last time I posted on here. One of us became a bride and a new home owner, one a 2nd time mom, one a grandmother, and one an expecting grandmother. Congrats to all you lovely ladies...I've been in hospital a few times but am doing really well and very possibly won't need any more of the type of procedure I've been getting.
Welcome to Darlene, Helen and Annette. Lovely to have you along, fresh blood and all.
This what we've been reading.
November- "The Good Daughter" ?? Is that right?
December- " The Power of One" by Bryce Courtenay
2012
January- "One for the Money" by Janet Evanovich (Went over the river see the movie with Katherine Heigl)
February- "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer at the Exmouth St. Coffee Lodge
March- "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker
I've enjoyed most of the books we've read recently but feel somewhat uncomfortable that we are leaving our roots far behind. I'd really like to start going back to some of the classics........North and South by Elizabeth Gaskill, Jamaica Inn by Daphne DuMaurier, Narnia. So perhaps we'll get our teeth into something meaty every 3rd book or so. Wouldn't hurt to finish off the two Jane Austins that we didn't tackle either. ..Anyway, bring your ideas to our next meeting and we'll sort it out.
So March 13th, my house, 6 pm. Bring a few bucks for pizza, and a side salad, dessert or drink. I think the original plan was for a full blown Southern themed pot luck but that went by the way side when we realised that the planned weekend date was ST Patrick's Day. So anything themey would be great but not expected as it is a weeknight.
Til then y'all...
