Everything, all at once
I have been really lazy, computer-wise, for the past few weeks, but life has been extra busy. Finally got around to the journals and answering emails, and am feeling a bit perky now!
Work has been ... exciting, I guess is the word. There was a stabbing on one of the units at the institution last week, and we had to stop a transfer so Lieu could get the goods on a gang member (leader?) he had been trying to catch for the last few months. They knew he was ordering hits on other inmates, but could never prove it - until then. That's the thing about work...so much happens so fast, there's little time for boredom or dwelling on anything besides work.
On Friday, we did take a girls morning (Fridays are the slowest day) and have a coffee klatche (or however you spell it). It was nice - a lot of bonding going on and all that. And when the men figured out what we were up to, they wanted in on it, too.
Well - that's a portion of life as I know it in a little more than a nutshell. And now..a meme..
If you came to my house…
You would see: A LOT of trees, a couple of dogs, some cats, a horse pasture, my grandson and the rest of my family. and me. You would see a lot of books...you could take a few home, if you liked, and a variety of tea pots, a few potted plants.
I’d probably feed you: Whatever you were in the mood for. Chilie? Salad? Pork chops? Quiche? Probably the famous Chicken Casserole and a veggie platter, home baked bread and a nutty buddy pie for dessert.
And offer you this to drink: Water, tea (hot or iced), coffee or coke.
I’d undoubtedly ask if you’d read: Alessandro Baricco, Tanizaki.
I’d want to play this music for you: Not sure...something easy on the ears or something to match the mood.
I’d want to tell you about: The history of the area
I’d probably suggest a game of: Scrabble, or some kind of card game like gin or canasta
I would definitely show off: My new patio!
I might get on the computer and show you: Funny emails, the poetry boards. The laughing cat.
If it was a long enough visit, we might watch: Whatever you'd like to watch. I have chick flicks, comedies,westerns and dramas and musicals.
Well, that's it. I won't mention the mess you might see, wouldn't want to scare you away.

Well I'm all for coming to visit, sitting outside having iced tea and hearing the history of the area! Glad you're feeling perky!
