See you all Monday night at Marianne's to discuss Fifty Shades of Grey! HAHA! Actually, I enjoyed Between Shades of Gray, the real book Marianne selected. We can all compare the sideways glances and comments from reading a book closely resembing the bestseller!

The kids are back in school, the weather is great... and hopefully, you can join us down in Duck, NC for a relaxing weekend of beach reading, wine, good food and of course, bingo! Please let me know if you will be joining us.

I will be going down on Thursday morning and coming back either Sunday afternoon or Monday morning. Feel free to come when you can and leave as late as you want!

Everyone should plan to bring a bottle of wine, beach drinks/snacks and 6 full-size candy bars (non-chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate). I will be bringhing Hershey Bars, so some other choices would be good. We have towels, linens, beach chairs, etc. For all your tech needs, the house also has wifi.

I will be making a reservation in advance for dinner Saturday night at the Blue Point, which was really good last year. The manicures and pedicures at the Sanderling Inn are a guilty pleasure, and worth the time. Shower cap, optional! HAHA!
