Jody
proudly boasts, "Here
is a photo of my/our
Erin very near the
finish line of the
10/10/05 Tufts 10K
road race in
Boston. She
finished 27th in
35:32! There
were more than 4500
people who ran the
race...possibly
~6000 started and in
the 4000s
finished! What
a blast. And
Erin's team (Reebok
Boston) came in 1st
place for team
competition!!"

Floods of 2005

Rebecca
reports, "Our book club met
for the 3rd time
on 10/20. We
discussed The
Gold Coast by
Nelson DeMille,
delving into the
life of the rich
and famous on
Long Island.
We had lots of
friendly chat as
well as some good
snacks, a tour
of Beth's newly
decorated den
and bedroom and
for our next
book decided on The
Mermaid Chair
or The
Secret Life of
Bees (reader's
choice), both
books by Sue
Monk Kidd.
These have been
popular picks
with book clubs
around the
country so we
figured we'd
dive in!
Join us for the
next meeting --
November 17 at
7pm at Pat
Galipeau's
house. New
members welcome!
