Broad Appeal was the name of the book that was talked about at last nights dinner and program. The woman who wrote it had interviewed seventy two women regarding their lives after sixty. There really weren't to many things new, but it was nice to have verification that most women have found that after a certain age, other then physical changes, it was a great time. We no longer are our mothers or grandmothers. The chance to have a great life and do things with more knowledge then you had in your youth was something that the women she had interviewed all had in common. You just have to find that thing.
The dinner was held at the Center Club at the Preforming Arts Center and is a lovely place, not to mention the food was extremely good. For $30.00 it included vichyssoise, chicken corden bleu with roasted rosemary potatoes and steamed veggies. Dessert was apple crisp with ice cream. I've had meals that cost a lot more and weren't half as good.
My friends that joined me last night had a nice time and found that there are things to do in Orange County other then going out to eat and drink. This organization also does a lot to empower middle class women who have fallen on hard times due to the economy, death, divorce or other circumstances beyond their control.
The premise is that the poor are taken care of, the rich have money to do what is needed and the middle class women fall in between the cracks. Women helping women get their lives together with jobs, clothes and education.
I have a free day today and am going to try to do a few things around this house. Planning on a movie on Sunday and then Bowers museum next week to see the Medici jewels.
