Monday

I am on a jury panel, so I will be going back to the courthouse for questioning and jury selection after lunch. So I will post this nice picture Chuck took of Emma and me this past weekend:

Friday Five: Random!

1. How do you sign off in your emails, professional and personally?

Automatically, my emails end with "The highest form of wisdom is kindness,"
-The Talmud

2. If you were an animal TODAY, what is it and why?

Dog, because I would be very loving, which is how I want to be visiting my granddaughters this weekend in Austin.

3. If you get snarky, what triggers it? If you don’t get snarky, please, what is the secret?

Not too often, because I am too passive-aggressive, though trying to grow into honesty.

4. Look up from your computer/tablet/phone screen. What is the first
favorite thing your eyes land on. Describe it. (For example, I just
did this, and my eyes landed on a little angel made out of multicolored
wires whose head and wings are quite askew because of being chewed upon
by my puppy. That aside, I love it because it was a gift from two
little girls who came often to my office in my last call to play with
all the tshotke on my table. They wanted to add to it.)

I am rushing before leaving to see those granddaughters, so I see our kitty sitting about three feet away while looking at me suspiciously, probably suspecting that we are leaving soon. (When I returned from my weekend with Nancy in San Antonio on Monday this kitty BIT me on my leg!)

5. Do you have a favorite pair of socks? Tell us about them!

I like colorful socks, but don't get to wear them often here in south TX. I like some green and blue striped ones a lot.

My Friend Nancy

Nancy and I met each other at Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan in 1962(3?) so we have been friends for over 50 years. Since I grew up in a military family and moved every few years, I don't have any other "childhood" friends that I am still in touch with.

Every five years or so, we go on a trip together. This year Nancy is flying to San Antonio, where we will attend an ART workshop on Saturday and Sunday. She flies in Thursday night, and I will drive there tomorrow. She will stay until Monday when she must return to CA to her family and her teaching job.

Here is a picture of Nancy from our last trip together--New Mexico in 2010.

 I am excited about seeing Nancy and exploring San Antonio together on Friday. Nancy is much more artistic than I am (not), so this will be a growth experience at the workshop this weekend for me!
