Book for October Is Announced!

Misty has chosen the book The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale for October 9th book club. Reserve your copy at the library today!

Calling All Readers

If you know of someone who would like to be included on the book club e-mail list, please let me (Adrienne) know. We do not want to leave anyone out.

I also want to thank Leah for hosting a delightful book club. We had a great time. 

O Mamma Mia!


Thanks to everyone who was able to come to the late night Mamma Mia sing-a-long at Jordan Common's. It was a blast and I was reminded that moms can still have a lot of fun! Misty wins the prize for knowing the most ABBA songs.

Monkey Bread

Some of you have requested the "monkey bread" recipe that we had at the book club retreat. It is SUPER easy and perfect to set out Christmas Eve to bake in the morning.

Monkey Bread

Combine and melt together on the stove:
1/2 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla

Place 24 frozen Rhodes rolls in a greased bundt pan. Sprinkle with 1 small 3 oz. package cook and serve butterscoth pudding (do not use instant). Then pour melted mixture over top. Sprinkle with chopped nuts (I prefer pecans). Cover and let rise overnight. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Cover with foil toward the end if the top is browning too much. Turn onto a platter.
