I'm not trying to date anybody but it wasn't in Gallipolis Ohio in the early sixties by any chance was it?

Here is the link:

Adult coloring books by Johanna Basford are among the hottest book of the summer - CBS News

She orders the nice books online and can spend hours doing It. Gives her a break from her other activities.

There is a club already started! I think they have a facebook page. I will find it tonight, after mah Jongg. It is new, but I am surprised it isn't showing up in the club area.

Margaret Lyon paper says. Just spoke to her also. They don't meet in villages yet. 50 people on Facebook could just be people all over the country. ?

Karen might be the name she uses day to day. Karen Lyons is who I was communicating with. The FB group was set up for Villagers interesting in starting a club for coloring. I only posted so that you would know someone was trying to create one. I suppose some of the Fb people are from around the country, but it was a spin off of The Villages FB page. Just when you think there can't be a club or topic not already covered, a new one comes along. Keeps things fun and interesting for sure.
