While visiting in Littleton, I was talking with my sweet SIL and she told me how she and her girls did a book club over the summer. One girl/mom would host it at their home and plan a lunch, decorations, activities, etc. She said her girls loved it.
I loved the idea and got a couple other friends to join with us. Emmy and I hosted the first book club and we had chosen The Great Gilly Hopkins to read.
It turned out to be a lovely book club! Emmy had planned a menu (with my help) and it included Bubble Gum (Gilly was always chewing gum), Mrs. Trotter's Rolls with Honey (Mrs. Trotter called everyone "honey"), Gilly's Goulash (just cheese and crackers & vienna sausages - no significance, just something we came up with), W.E.'s Apple Juice (since he wet himself once . . .) and Mr. Randolph's cherry pie (he loved cherry pie). Emmy helped make the rolls and pie and put everything else together.
We did some fun activities and the girls all joined in - even in our discussion. Emmy lead the group and did a fine job. :)
Fun, fun! Thanks for the brilliant idea Brittany!
