DW's Book Club

News Flash!!
The first meeting of DW's Book Club was held on Friday, January 18th 2008 at Crystal's house. It was a great time with yummy food prepared by Crystal. She dazzled us with a delectable array of tex-mex yummies, to include a homemade queso in her crockpot. She spoiled us with a beautiful carrot cake from a local Amish market - (thanks to her Mom for picking it up!!). Oh, and did I mention - there was a wee bit of wine served as well :)
