HIking and Reading

We had day two of our Alpine Nature Hike yesterday, and had another lively group of women join us!

We found some amazing things, including one scrub oak with leaves as big as a fig tree!

We also enjoyed the sun coming out and casting a magical glow on Lambert Park!

The fall colors aren't as vibrant as last year, due to the lack of moisture in the summer, but they are still plenty beautiful!

I have loved these hikes so much. It would be fun to squeeze in a couple in the middle of the winter!

In the afternoon the book club reviewed, The Triple Package by Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld. It was a super interesting book based on the theory that some minorities do well in America based on three factors: A superiority complex, an inferiority complex and impulse control (drive). The book talked about Latter Day Saints and Jews, as well as many immigrant groups. It was nice to know Amy thinks we've got it!

Next month we'll read An American Marriage by Tayari Jones, my favorite book from Literary Sojourn. I hope the ladies like it!
