ChocLit Guild @ Sweet Bouquets

ChocLit Guild @ Mt. Hope Chronicles

ChocLit Guild met this past week at my second mom, Debi’s, house. [She has a beautiful blog called Sweet Bouquets.] I wish I had taken a few pictures of her garden which was looking spectacular! Her house is always so lovely. And she even made a delicious dessert for us (with chocolate, of course).

Aunt Holly worked hard to get Sweden to sleep.

Book Club Discussion @ Mt. Hope Chronicles

The rest of us relaxed and talked. We were missing a few of our regulars (missed you, Jessye, Cheris, and Tinsa!!), and one of our long-distance members (we always miss you, Danielle!).

I think that should keep us busy for a while.

 

I’ll leave you with another sleeping baby picture, because…well, who needs an excuse for another sleeping baby picture?!

Thanks, Susan. One of my favorite book club meetings was when you joined us! :D Shannon *does* look amazing, doesn't she? I'll pass the compliment along to her. :) (I know *I* looked extremely sleep-deprived for, well, years. LOL!! Wait, I don't think I've ever recovered.)
