The Year We Left Home by Jean Thompson...

Brenda's choice for our read this month, an Iowa story of a family during the early 1980's. It had great reviews from all Brenda's research, but from these Iowa readers... we felt the author needed to do a bit of research on Iowa life. Needless to say, not a big hit... but please Brenda keep up the choosing... it's just not a big deal, they can't all be a hit. But I can say this! The food ideas you got from the book were a big hit!!! Brenda has promised to post the recipes on her blog and I am looking forward to that! Let me tell you... it was a delicious meal!!!

Do check out my pictures of Brenda's great July table setting. She has a gift for making a very festive table to enjoy as well. Her beautiful vignettes of detail grouping was enjoyed by all of us. Thanks Brenda for a wonderful evening.

Our next read well be "A Year on the Ladybug Farm."

Hmmm... another book about a year of life on a farm...
