Book club ended up at my house this month - completely unplanned.  I was driving home from work at 5:00 when I got a text from Amanda - the scheduled hostess for the evening.  She was calling off book club because she was sick - flu like symptoms so no one needed to be around her.  She wanted to reschedule for the next week on Tuesday, but that didn't work for me, and I knew it wouldn't work for Meredith, so....I volunteered to have it at my place.  

Amanda volunteered all her food, etc. that she had prepped, someone would just need to pick it up.  Malorie volunteered to do that (it's 5:30 by this time) and then Amanda realized that the frozen lasagna she planned on serving took 2 hours to cook, not 1.....scratch that plan.  We had impromptu pork chili verde burritos for dinner, as I had all the needed ingredients to make it....and it's now 5:45 (book club usually starts at 6:00...)  Whew!  We pulled it off!  Lots of help in the kitchen to get everything pulled together at the last minutes, but it worked, and it was a fun night.

The book was The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.  Wonderful book!  (Amanda chose it because it was also a movie out on Netflix so she could see the movie and not read the book...)  The bookmark was a pig.  Because of the rush to get dinner, etc. done, I didn't get a picture of all the pigs - here's is what I did get a picture of:

The pattern is here (I used Google Translate, but there isn't much to translate, since it is symbol crochet.)

Think Pink was last week as well - here are a couple of photos of the bridge, and from the bank.
