Our StoryBook Club met for our 10th monthly meeting and we talked about "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving.
We all decided that he was a wonderful writer and his stories are even better when read ALOUD.
Which we did :)
Attending the "VanTassel's Party" here at Squirrel Haven were:
Phil, Christine, Lynn, Michael, Stephanie, Val, Keith, Nick, Rick, Debbi, Merlyn & Harry
A sumptuous feast of food was offered fit for a Dutch country woman's table!
There was Ginger Beer, Mulled Cider spiked with Apple Jack, Roast Veggies, Pumpkin Soup, Autumn Braised Wild Catskill Boar (crockpot pork tenderloin ;), Caramel bread, Apple Crumb pie, English Toffee, Ginger Snaps and a Cheese tray.
We read excerpts of the story, and got to know the characters very well, and in the end we all liked Old Icabod more than we did before :)
And we all like Katrina Van Tassel a lot less.
Next month, in honor of October, our story research will take us in search of ZOMBIES~
Get "The Zombie Survival Guide & Handbook"
It just may save your life.
Fun stuff even for a WOOS scardeycat like me!
So till next time.....
stock up on bullets, 2X4's, sharp implements, fill the tank with gas
and for God's sake....
get some twinkies.
Hugs
Merlyn
