Stuff - Slowly Coming Back

Patient Readers,
I've completed most of my courses for my graduate degree. I can now actually read for fun. So, I'll be working on getting back to posting again.

We meet at the Blue Cypress Books at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the novel.

NEW MEMBERS and Out-of- Town VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME.


Contact Isabel at 504 975 5064 or workingwords100@yahoo.com for details.
