Reading

Just finished reading Hilary Mantel's A Place of Greater Safety. At first I didn't think I liked the book at all. But by the end, I know it is one that will stay with me for a long time. Subject is the French revolution. The book assumes you know something about it. It goes into many lives of the time, but particularly these three: Georges-Jacque Danton, Camille Desmoulins, and Maximilien Robespierre.

Art Trading Cards

back in April, went to an ART TRADING CARDS group at the DAC. GReat fun.

We planned to have a get-together every month ... but missed last month. This time, volunteered to have it coincide with my shift... In the three hours we worked on them, I made four. Then traded three of those away, and came home with only one of my own.

I now have those three (trades) plus 3 or 4 of sharon's plus about 4 others. Should have about 10, plus the 1 of my own.
