Santa Ynez may be a rural community but it's clearly not unsophisticated. At one point last year I was in three book groups. Way too much. I'm down to two groups and one of them met today.
We're a diverse group who live and work in different parts of the Valley - mostly Solvang and Santa Ynez residents. Probably a third of us life in Woodstock Ranch. Today's hostess lives in Woodstock and has a marvelous hilltop ranch with a panoramic vista of fields and houses.
We discussed "This I Believe," a compilation of 500 word essays put together by NPR. Today's leader asked each of us to draft an essay about one of our core beliefs. Whew! It was harder than I expected.
I wrote about society's need for energy conservation to combat global warming. Living in a "green" house, that's something I feel strongly about.
Right now, though, I have strong feelings about the need for sleep!
BTW, that picture isn't me. But it seems appropriate for a posting about book groups.
