And just a little late I am :)


Tuesday July 1, 2014_June media_a Tennessee Williams bio which was fascinating and just a little depressing; an entire book about the pivotal year of 1959; The Americans, the photography of Robert Frank; Moonwalking With Einstein, about a journalist's personal journey in the world of memory competition that I loved, and The Hotel on Place Vendome, the true story of Paris's Hotel Ritz during its WWII occupation, my bookclub recommendation which everyone enjoyed!!!

Wednesday July 2, 2014_My bookclub in my courtyard, the ladies, the table, we had such fun :)


Friday July 4, 2014_I couldn't get the fireworks themselves, but I did get the silhouette-like photo of people getting ready for the show.


Sunday July 6, 2014_Lauren and I went to see How to Train Your Dragon II, a terrific movie BTW, and since they no longer had a poster, I instead took a photo of the elevators up to the theaters.


Saturday July 19, 2014_David, Lauren, and I went downtown to dinner and after, decided to wonder aimlessly about, passing by the Adobe Headquarters with its wind turbines whirling!!


Tuesday July 29, 2014_From last month, Jimmy's garden as a reminder because NOW he has the jewel-toned corn all picked and nicely placed in a wicker basket with, for whatever reason, sheet music.


Wednesday July 30, 2014_Lauren and I have been doing a little art class Wednesday evenings, this evening a still life.

It's terrific that your book group gets together in such a fun way.

Love the book selections.

What was depressing about Williams life?

I know nothing about it.

Such fun you are having.

Great!

The Fourth of July is a fun holiday and the only one where it has a pretty good chance of being good weather so you can have your party outside. I am glad that you had a good one.

Your book club looks like such fun.

That corn is amazing!

Great pictures, as usual.

I just read a review of a new biography of Tennessee Williams which the reviewer liked a great deal. Of course, I failed to note the name of the book or the author and promptly threw the review out. I read a biography of Williams a year ago or two, and would like to read another slant on him. If I stumble across the author and title, I'll send them to you.

My daughter-in-law Pam just spent a week on business in Heidelburg (where she and John lived for more than three years) and was able to go to her book club meeting while she was there. It's a different arrangement from any book club I've heard of. They meet once a month, rotating among houses, and the host of the last meeting brings the book club tub with her, Every month each member reports on a book she has read and puts it in the tub. She then takes another book out of the tub for the next month. When everybody who wants to has read a book, it's retired and a new book is put into circulation. That sounds like a pretty nifty idea to me.
