The Bastard of Istanbul, by Elif Shafak

 

On the drive to Carol's house - aren't we blessed to live here?

Cocoa, caught in the act.  No, Cocoa, you can't turn pages on a Kindle.

Bookmarks from Turkey to keep your place in the latest Literary Spirit "must-read"!

It wasn't simit or shish-kebabs, but the potato bar was delicious!

A fun surprise - Crafting with Carol!

Rick, looking rather disdainful, but who could blame him with a camera constantly pointing and flashing in his general direction?

Five of seven, with Cocoa still trying to get in on the act.  When will we have all seven Spirits together again?

This I Believe, by Jay Allison
This I Believe II, by Jay Allison

 

Whether we read version I or version II, these essays sparked a remarkable conversation among the Spirits!

If there's one thing I know how to do, it's open a bottle of wine.

Carol and Anne, believing in the Broncos. :)

Mimi's paw.  I don't know why, but I find this particularly poignant.  This, I believe.

Scrumptious dinner!  Thanks, Sally!

....followed by scrumptious dessert! (Both what's below the icing and what's on top of the cake!)

Sally, reading her essay - a beautifully written mini-memoir of home.

Cory's essay, written in the dark, but full of light and soul.

Five of Seven.  F***n' A!
