I am not much of a party goer and not much of a joiner. I do love sitting with friends and chatting. I love having tea with people and learning from them. I am pushing past my party fears and joining the group over at – A Day in the Life
She sent out an invite for all to join. Leigh Anne Eck’s invitation The request is to bring 5 things – what would you bring?
(I was reading at AliceNine.Net when I found the party. )
So here is what I am packing to bring to the party
- My notebook and pen since these are all teachers and writers – I am guessing there will be lots of ideas and things to learn. I will need to write it all down.
- Bubbly water to share – I am off the stronger stuff to drink due to medications and I am working hard to stay away from all the sugar drinks.
- Mary Oliver’s most recent book Upstream – there are fun nature writings to share
- My phone – because it has a camera – it would be great to get photos of this wild and wonderful event. (also we could order in food if we needed!)
- A good pair of walking shoes – It is always my hope at a good party to find a few new friends who like to take long walks and talk just to get to know each other a bit more.
Here are a few other who have decided to join –

So glad you joined the party! Thanks for the mention of Mary Oliver’s book. And I’ll be sure to throw in my walking shoes, too.
Such a fun idea if we could really do it!
Leigh Anne’s party is the place to be and what a fun assortment of items that we all bring. I had to laugh at the second reason your phone might be needed. Should it ever be possible, we’d have a great time. Glad you put aside your party fears to join.
Great idea 🙂
I love Mary Oliver and that book!

I heard today there is a new one coming out with poems. It is called Devotions and comes out in October of this year.
It would be nice to take a break for a walk!
I am not much of a partier either, but I think this one would be fun! I am so glad you participated! I like your thinking about ordering in food! Although there will be lots of chocolate! Thanks for being a guest at my party!
Chocolate is always good! And really good if we are writing! 🙂
Great list — it is fun to read what everyone is bringing.
