I belong to a local book club which began in 1932 and has continued without interuption since. We are 24 members who change only if someone resigns or dies. At present we have one member who has been in the club since 1935. She is 100 years old and still reads without glasses! I have belonged since 1984.
Reading is my favorite pastime--all kinds of books.
Just now I am reading "The Master Butchers Singing Club" by Louise Erdrich.

I am a widow, retired, an artist (mostly water colors) and I am taking French classes with the hope of going to France in 2007. I live in a small mountain town in the South of the US. I like cooking, visiting with friends and gardening.
