G'morning friends,
I hope your week's been pleasant?
Personally I'm over the moon, on account our temps haven't even reached 100* in the last 5 days!
That, and I'm enjoying the start of several 4-day work weeks!
Rueful smile: This morning I'd planned to rise 'n shine and hit the antiquities mall with a purpose. Instead - because I opted to don new 4" heels to yesterday's annual meeting - then stood at the back of the ballroom - my feet feel as if I stuck them under an 18-wheeler.
Lately, I've been thinking about sharing ..... about compromise.
Maybe, that's on account I'm trying to convince our litter-mates that sharing is a good thing; that one does not steal her little sister's toys.
(Grace seems amicable, but so far Macie's not having any.)

So recently I admitted to a blog friend, "Sure and I'll offer you some of my popcorn. But privately, I'm hoping you'll say, 'no.'"
Probably, being an only child - and once, a spoiled spouse, I never had to share.
Almost 40 years later, I'll never forget R. surprising me with the car of my dreams. Not long after, he let his teenage son take it out for date night..... then couldn't understand why his new wife was so upset.

Come to find out, in his own growing-up years he and his siblings each owned their own vehicle: Whoever happened to be going out just grabbed keys to whichever car was at the end of the drive.
These days, DH's own daughter and son are grown so we've no rivalry issues. Plus, Tom has no issue with sharing his bag of popcorn! I don't get it, but he's one of those amazing species who never even finishes every last kernel!
Is sharing ever been an issue in your household?
We chuckle about it, but more often than not, DH acquiesces. Blessed? You betcha!

('Jus an aside: We don't get to the movies more than once or twice a year, but I wanted to give "War Room" two thumb's up!
Not a great movie, perhaps, but the actors - mostly unknowns - were all wonderful and it was a thoroughly 'feel-good' 2 hours.)

Four Fibs and a Truth
I actually got this idea from a 'getting to know you' exercise at my workplace.
Since a few of you know me pretty darn well, it's a challenge to lie convincingly. Even a couple of those contain a morsel of truth!
1. I met my first husband when we were arrested at an anti-war ralley in the Spring of '69.
2. While the team was out on their practice field just a few yards away, I sneaked inside the Dallas Cowboys locker room at their Valley Ranch headquarters.
3. My dad once worked as one of Enrico Fermi's 'corpsmen' on the Manhattan project in Los Alamos.
4. Once on a dare, I called in sick to work and went sky-diving.
5. I was a passenger on the S.S. Yarmouth Castle that caught fire and sank off the coast of Nassau in the fall of '65.

I'm sure interested to hear your guesses!
.... but I won't tell 'til next week!
Now, I'm off to soak my feet in some epsom salts.
I hope you all enjoy the weekend you've been given!
Hugs from Phoenix,
Myra
