Last night was the first Thursday of the month, so I went to the little bookstore up the road for our book club meeting. Last month we had a record crowd – at least 10 people showed up - but this month Kristen picked a 562 page tome that apparently not everyone was able to get through, so only a few of us were there to discuss it.
As I was waiting for the other members of the club to show up, Kristen and her mother-in-law, Judy, who run the store, were helping one of their regular customers check out. One book, a Chilton Manual of some sort, he said was for his business and needed to be put on his American Express card. The other two books were for his teen-aged sons, one 14 and the other 16. Judy inquired about how his boys were doing.
( Conversation isn’t her thing, but maybe she has other talents. )
