Seems we've been trying forever to get together for book club. Finally we just set a date and whoever could make it made it. As it turned out one member was in Vancouver, one in Red Deer and one out dancing. Even with our small group, we caught up on local news, ate wonderful appies, talked books and laughed a lot. Our next book will be Peony in Love by Lisa See - ordered and on its way to us.



Shaun made it back from his weekend in Vancouver - he attended the Vancouver International Film Festival to view his friend Adam Scorgie's film The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. This film was nominated for the CFB Best Canadian Documentary Award (although it didn't win) at viff and did win awards at the Winnipeg and Rhode Island International Film Festivals. He said it was an excellent movie, well done, interesting and well worth seeing. To find out more about this Canadian film click here for the viff's coverage of the movie or click here for the films promo (which is very interesting).
