Saving CeeCee Honeycutt - 8/30/2011

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman came highly recommended by Molly Koch and Sarah Ohki!

~ from goodreads.com:

Steel Magnolias meets The Help in this Southern debut novel

sparkling with humor, heart, and feminine wisdom.

Our August meeting was at Joy's home where we had a fun time going through reading group discussion questions.

In attendance:

Lety, Sarah, Cortney, Jamie, Sally, Joy, Rachel and a BIG WELCOME to Jennifer Aiton!
There was such a wonderful spread of delicious foods. I made my great-grandmother, MaMaw's Peach Cobbler and my grandmother, Nannie's Summer Slaw. We also had mini chicken salad sandwiches, a seafood dip from Lety, Sarah made Chocolate Chip Cookie Pecan Pie and a savory dip to spread on sour dough bread and Cortney made Mint Julips for us all to drink! It was all so yummy!

~*~*~*~some favorite quotes~*~*~*~

“That's what friends should do. cherish the good and pretend not to notice the harmless rest.”

“Don't grow up too fast, Darling. Age is inevitable, but if you nurture a childlike heart, you'll never, ever grow old.”

  “But if you have so much fun, then why don't you get together more than once a month?'
She looked at me like a wise old owl and winked. 'Do something too often and it stops being special.”

 wouldn't be complete for discussion without post-it-notes


It turned out to be a really fun month, too! On Friday, August 12, 2011, nine of us attended a 7:30pm showing of "The Help".
The Help by Kathryn Stockett was our April 2010 pick.
