book club

I’m in a book club! It may not be the same reading material as St. John’s (I looked longingly at a French copy of Descartes Method in a book store yesterday), but every month I’ll get to read a different book with a group of women from all over the world. This month’s pick is “The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” by Alexander McCall Smith. An American heading up Catholic Relief Services made the selection.

Because the club meets on the international side of town, far from where I live, I crashed at Chez Baker, home of English missionaries Rob and Lois. I don’t know what it is about their family, but it’s extremely inviting. And I’m not just saying that because I know Rob will check my blog, ha. I guess it’s that they make you feel like more than a guest. Anyway, it’s very nice.

I think I may have found an apartment. I’ll spare you the details until it’s firmed up, but please pray that I make wise decisions!

No 1 Ladies Dectective Agency is an entertaining read. It is obvious that the author spent significant time in Botswana as it is very accurate. I used to live near Zebra Drive and know many of the landmarks. The whole series is fun in a lighthearted way.

Praying for you on the housing front. Things are good here. Just returned from a business trip to Vermont. No leaves chenging colors just yet though.
