Book Club + crochet along

On Saturday the book club I belong to met at my house. We read Gabriel Garcia Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude.

As we talked about the book, we ate yummy food. Here is a beautiful pear cake that Ximena baked. You can order one too! www.classictreats.com



I read One Hundred Years a few times in collage, but hadn't read it in over 10 years. Even in English, this book has such a resonance. Everyone enjoyed the book- of yellow butterflies, candy animals, bones that that clac-clac. Ursula, the many Aurelianos and Jose Arcadios, Meme, Mauricio Babilonia. The politics and history of Colombia in gorgeous language.

Here's where I am with my sweater. I only had to rip 4 inches out, once!
