Dear Friends,
I just looked around the edge of the dresser and see that Zing has taken a new home in the far corner of the closet. Yay! When I recently (finally!) cleared the closet floor he nosed around in there whenever I opened the door. Since then I have been tempting him to stay, with soft towels and treats, but it’s been slow. It seems the ideal cozy spot that dogs are supposed to crave — a roof, walls, protection and freedom too. I hope that eventually it will be his quiet retreat when I leave him alone. For now he still stands sentinel at the front door.
This evening I had dinner with two couples from the building. The hosts live on the top floor with a lovely view. One woman provided lots of little ducks, which her brother had shot somewhere near here. The other couple cooked the duck and added fixings. I made dessert — another round of chocolate pots de creme. Talk was about food (Sacramento’s obsession) and then eventually about politics of our building. One of the men is on the HOA. Clark would have loved being with us. Actually, he may have set it up, just to see how I would fare.
This morning Judy and I went to hear Judy Coates Perez talk about her creative process. She's a vibrant quilt artist who lives in Sacramento. We had an inspiring time, and then went to lunch to talk about it -- even more inspiring!
And ... after looking into the options for postponing jury duty, I faced the fact that jury duty is ALWAYS an inconvenience, so I might as well do it now. I want to be an active citizen. Besides, since I can walk to the courthouse I won’t even have to find a parking space. But I need one for Zing.
Happy weekend!
Love,
k
