The Coco Bay Literate Ladies in Fort Myers, Florida. From left to right: Flo, Ellen, Joyce, Shirley, Lynn, Jo-Ann, and Patty. “Suzanne, we loved your cookies!”

 Jess Martin (far right, back row) was a cookie winner and she shared them with her family. “You were a hit at Hanukkah, Suzanne!”

Bettye won one of my vintage aprons and she wore it to the holiday senior potluck dinner. (That’s her husband playing Santa. They’ve been married 50 years!) “Everyone wanted to know where I’d gotten the apron and it gave me a chance to tell them about the book club!”
