Summer book group
Last night my book group met at "Egypt Beach" in lovely Scituate, Massachusetts (that's sit-yew-it, for those of you not from around heah). I took a few snaps to share how lovely it was, on the tumbled stone beach, with a bonfire:

Re: Summer book group
Truly lovely. You had a beautiful night for it, too. (Are those stones hard on the feet-bones? Also, how do you spread out a towel/blanket on a beach like that?)
GAH!

Re: Summer book group
Taking folding chairs was a good idea! That looks like an ideal place and time - you are blessed.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: Summer book group
The stones were more slippery and trippery than hard on the feet-bones.
No towels or blankets, we all brought beach chairs. It gets sandy at the waterline, so I imagine if you want to lie down, that's where you do it.
PS - the water temps have been amazing since the weekend. It was cold for so long, and now all of a sudden the water is 70 degrees! That's tropical for up here. I've been meeting up with friends and doing morning swims. It's pretty damn awesome. I'm trying hard to just enjoy every day as it comes, I cannot even begin to think about, well, you know . . . .

Indeed, I just sent an email to my fellow book group members comments that we are indeed blessed.

Great way to spend an evening, and lovely shots!

That's what you get for all that Trump gloating...
Re: Summer book group

Re: Summer book group
What book did you folks discuss at the beach? Great setting for it . . . I love the lighthouse at Scituate!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
