1. Something you're working on currently?
I am still working my way through a chronological reading of the Bible. I have gotten bogged down due to travels so am a bit behind on my schedule. Hubby keeps reminding me that it won't change or go away, so don't fret. I'm trying.
I am always working on the HOA monthly newsletter. That is an on-going project for sure.
2. Tell us something about your first job? Was it a positive or negative experience for you? Did your parents insist you work while in school (either high school or college) or did you work because you wanted to?
My first job was gift wrapping during the Christmas holiday at the finest department store in the nearest town - Wellans Department Store in Alexandria, La. The first day was totally negative because the lady in charge was a slave driver and wanted every corner crisp, a minimum of tape used, and every bow perfect I finally met all her requirements and enjoyed the job thereafter. My parents never insisted I work while in school, but did encourage me to help a widow lady with her yard work one hot summer.
3. Have you ever had a job that required overnight travel? How did you feel about that? Have you ever had a job that required you to wear a uniform? Do you work better in the morning or at night?
Yes, as an Administrative Assistant and later as Chief Facilities Officer in the La. Technical College system, I was required to travel quite a bit to attend overnight meetings and conferences. At times it was frustrating because those in the southern part of the state seemed to think the distance from south to north was much further than from north to south; therefore scheduling all the required meetings in the south. I never had to wear a uniform. I work better at night.
4. What's something you bake or cook that is labor intensive? Is it worth it?
NOTHING! If a recipe calls for more than 2-3 steps, forget it.
5. One thing you're looking forward to in the month of September?
We have already taken a 3-day road trip to Central Texas Hill Country to celebrate Dick's 84th birthday and our 59th wedding anniversary. It was a great trip.
Dick will be performing the wedding for a special couple in a couple weeks. She is the granddaughter of one of our best friends, and the fifth wedding in this family for him to do.
Hopefully, the beginning of Fall in North Central Texas.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We had the wedding of our granddaughter, Savannah the end of July that you may remember me mentioning. Below are a few of my favorite pictures.
