Ode to Annabel; Praise for Judy’s Kitchen
Cheers! To LOL member, Judy, for hosting our meeting to discuss, Annabel If you've read my inaugural column in the newly launched magazine, Okanagan Woman, (http://www.okanaganwoman.com/), you'll know I've belonged to a couple of different book clubs over the years but Wednesday evening's LOL meeting ranks...
