To Grandmothers House we go

 Recently we were in Northern California.  When I realized the proximity to Petaluma we took a detour to Western Ave to see my great grandmothers house.  What remains the same is completely different,

Great trip down memory lane

My new shirt

I was so excited to get my $10 summer shirt from China.  Right before opening the package I texted REM and asked what costume she wanted for MJMs party.  She wanted to be Sulley from Monsters Inc. I ordered 

And then opened my package.  Timing couldn't have been better.  This will forever be my Sulley shirt

Draw the Pig Personality Test

Yesterday at Sandra's leadership meeting we did the Pig Personality Test (a first for me).  

Mine in red below (upper right above)

Pig Analysis

If the pig is drawn:

Toward the top of the paper – You have a tendancy to be positive and optimistic.

Toward the middle – You have a tendency to be a realist.

Toward the bottom – You have a tendency to be pessimistic and may be
prone to behaving negatively.

Facing left – You have a tendency to believe in tradition and be friendly; you may also be prone to remembering dates well.

Facing Right – You have a tendency to be innovative and active, but may be prone to forgetting dates easily and may not have a strong sense of family.

Facing front – You have a tendency to be direct, and may enjoy playing the role of devil’s advocate; you also are prone to neither fearing nor avoiding confrontational discussions.

With many details – You have a tendency to be analytical, but may also be prone to being cautious to the point that you struggle with trust.

With few details – You have a tendency to be emotional and to focus on the larger picture rather than focusing on details. You also have a tendency to bea great risk taker and may sometimes be prone to reckless and impulsive decisions.

With less than 4 legs showing – May indicate that you are living through a major period of change and as a result you may be prone to struggling with insecurities.
