FAREWELL to the ultimate Satellite Mister Carl Reiner, one of our all-time favorite guests EVER. Lian still can't believe that he told us on our radio show in 2003 that Satellite Sisters "was a really good idea for a show!"

Family Test Results: We've got some tests to report in the family. Keeps wearing those masks and social distancing, people!

Cooking With Liz: Lian explains do’s and don’t for the Watermelon Ice cream Extravaganza. Here's the recipe and instructions from our Facebook Group.

Liz is also looking for a watermelon cocktail recipe. What do you think of this one from Valerie Bertinelli's cooking show Valerie's How Cooking?

Entertaining Sisters:

Julie recommends this book about Churchhill and assures us it's much more interesting that you think! The Splendid and the Vile by Eric Larson

Plus, Chaser, a SoCal Melodic Punk Rock Band, is supporting Julie's nonprofit organization for early childhood learning by donating profits so let's support them by buying their music! www.chaserpunkrock.com

Lian has several online book appearances coming up including a book club discussion about The Sweeney Sisters every Wednesday night on Crowdcast. It's fun and free. Sign up for an upcoming week with your whole book club! More details here on her website and shared on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Page and in the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.

Watch Lian's interview of writer Gina Fattore, author of The Spinster Diaries, in our Facebook Group .
