After belonging to other reading groups with much younger members I have come to realize that my life experiences and theirs are vastly different. Being separated by several generations means you will have a very different take on the books you read. That would be fine if the younger people were open-minded enough to consider that I may know what I'm talking about when discussing housewives from the 50's. After all, my mother was one of them. But they did not do that. They simply fed me the pa …

This is a group for those who want to explore and appreciate nature trails in or near the Rockdale/Newton area.

Ni Hao, Y'All! I love eating and exploring cultures, places & stories through food.
