I was looking thru games at www.kbtoys.com and they have three card games that look like a lot of fun and educational too. This is the list: Renaissance Art Card Game, Van Gogh and Friends Art Card Game, and Impressionist Art Card Game (and the picture that they have on the site for that game is the one Manet did of Victorine Meurent (?) and the little girl by the train station. It is interesting to know a little bit about art now. It gives me more self confidence!

The Impressionist Art Card Game looks wonderful. You're right, Michelle, that the particular painting they show features Victorine Meurent. It's one of my favorite of Manet's paintings. It was exhibited 10 years after Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, but still attracted terrible reviews. Poor Victorine, and poor Manet. But what a great way to learn about art.

Thank you for your requests for a return visit! I'd be delighted to come back to a Book Club whenever Barnes & Noble wants me. And thanks to Michelle, Lizabeth, Choisya, Kathy, everyone who's been reading and/or commenting. I've really enjoyed all of your insights and questions - and we seem to have covered quite a lot of ground. Anyway, it's been a great couple of weeks. Bless you all!

Thank you for the time you spent with us. I personally want you to know how much I appreciated it.
