Weekend Whimsy

Well, this past week has been hectic. I got a call Wednesday morning about a job and the interview was scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Whew! I spent those 2 days prep'ing for the interview; I hope it pays off!!! They are interviewing at least 2 more candidates; because I was at the top of the list when ranked using résumés, I was interviewed first. Now the waiting begins. I'm keeping all my fingers/toes/eyes crossed!!!

Four Queens

The Provencal Sisters Who Ruled Europe

by Nancy Goldstone

page xiii

The architects of this diplomatic coup were neither ambassadors nor statesmen.

It was managed entirely by one family - a family of four sisters who had risen from near obscurity to become the most celebrated and powerful women of their time.

Where in the World Wednesday

Here is a webcam picture of a town in the Netherlands. They have a carnival in the town square. I really like the lights against the grey overcastness.

Once again, I am listening to an audiobook as I am cleaning (or surfing the web instead of cleaning!).

Free Fall by Kyle Mills

"He just told me that the information in it could hurt some powerful people."

"These people probably think Tristian told you what was in the file; you, and I, are a loose end to them now."

Kitties for Adoption

We are fostering two delightful kitties, sisters about a year old, Dolly and Madison. The cat rescue organization I volunteer for (New Beginnings Cat Rescue) doesn't have a physical shelter other than what is at the Garland PetSmart, and so all other cats are fostered by volunteers. If you are interested in adopting them, please let me know.

Mother's Day

My mom's birthday is May 8th, so it is always close to Mother's Day. So, Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day. I love you! Thank you for all you did and do.

Friday's Feature - Baby Bald Eagle

As you've read previously, I follow several webcams. One of them is of a bald eagle nest and today I discovered that the first baby has hatched. Here's a pic of the baby and Dad (?). Check out the video webcam here.
