This month celebrated birthdays!
Sarah Ohki(May 31) and Molly Koch(June 2).
What a fabulous cake Cortney!
For fans of The Goose Girl (Jan.'09 - one of our book club favorites) Graceling by Kristin Cashore will ring true and kick-it-up-a-notch.
Graceling is a term for a person with 'extreme skills' called a Grace. The main character Katsa's Grace is killing, so you can be sure there is violence...and she is supremely skilled.
Quote of Katsa while speaking to her nursemaid:
"I'm not going to wear a red dress," she said.
"It would look stunning, My Lady," she called.
She spoke to the bubbles gathered on the surface of the water. "If there's anyone I wish to stun at dinner, I'll hit him in the face."
In attendance this evening:
Molly, Sarah, Joy, Trisha, Moana, Jamie, Veronica, Laura, Cortney, Lynn and Wendi
We enjoyed a quiz to see who was a graceling and what skill they might be graced with. Unsurprisingly(surprisingly?), no one had the Killing Grace. A few with the Fighting Grace. Quite a few with the Relationships Grace and one with the Calming Grace that likely saved us all from a night of undignified behavior! (jury still out on that one)
Thank you all for gracing my life with laughter and sisterhood!
