This shabby mess of black fur is actually Roz enjoying
an afternoon nap on one of her favorite spots on the couch.

Yesterday was an amazing day! I heard back from several people who I contacted about a donation for the Women of Wine fundraising auction, and all responded with incredible items. My luck was so good I should have bought some lottery tickets.

Last night was also a special time. Nick was working, so Dr. Mc went with Mr. B and me to an art opening for our friends Chris Silkwood and John Henry Childs. Very lovely event with tons of people from the graphic design industry that I haven't seen in years (John is a commercial photographer). I had such a good time catching up with people. And Dr. Mc totally surprised me as she was working the room. Normally shy, she would say to me, "I'll be back in a minute, I'm going to talk to ..." Amazing! At dinner she also sat between two women she didn't know and just chatted it up with them. I was very proud to see her engaged with people and (seemingly) enjoying herself.

Today I'm creating time for the Bayou City Art Festival. Tonight there is a party outside city hall, in front of the reflection pool. It's always a fun event. Note to self: Remember to wear flats!
