Pickle Meeting

Greetings Pickles,

We will be having our own version of the Persian Pickle Book Club at my house (2832 104th Pl SE) on Thursday January 27th @ 7:30 pm. I promise not to make Rhubarb Pie!

If anyone needs a copy of the book I have one you can borrow! If you haven't read it you are more than welcome to come, but be warned that we will be discussing the ending - how can you not with this book?


See you then!

Queenie Bean (oh I mean, Carrie Howell)

Snow and Italian Ice

We ended up postponing our meeting until Tuesday, January 11th and met up at the Capri Italian Restaurant. What a night! We had a fantastic turn-out, enjoyed the ambiance and deliciousness of Italian food, and talked about The Wednesday Letters! To cap the night off, it started to snow hard, leaving the roads slick and dangerous so we called it an early night.

Thanks to everyone who came!!! Those in attendance were Caroline Rowe, JoLyn Thompson, Michelle Norlie, Laura Schilaty, Audrey Sisco, Carrie Howell, Anne Bodily, and myself. It's always a great night when we spend it together!!!

January Book

Carrie Howell will be hosting for January. The book we will be reading is The Persian Pickle Club, by Sandra Dallas.

Here is a brief synopsis:


"It is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there's not a job to be found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When a new member of the club stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another. In her magical, memorable novel, Sandra Dallas explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad."
