More Socializing

Today I had dinner with my sister. We walked over to the old airport, passing construction detritus, a taco cart, a roasted chicken cart, a lumpy path in the grass, and a concrete hull of a future Home Depot. The Star Flight helicopter flew over us three times. We shared a pizza and then each had our own dessert (lemon cake versus chocolate sour cream donut). Then we walked back the scenic route involving different construction, a Ronald McDonald House, a well-lit church, a park, and neighbor houses.

She was testing her shoes and declared them good.

At home we showed each other You Tube videos. And I realized I forgot to link to one of my favorite ones yesterday (see fraeuleinchen's entry about it, Freeze).

(Note to self: Must not, at work meetings, even after saying something very smart sounding, suddenly start waving my arms around, but only from the elbows down, and then break out into song, singing "Look at me! I'm white and nerdy!")

We ended our visit with an exchange of hugs and baklava. Okay, I admit it--we both got hugs, but only I got baklava.

I have a pair of sandals from Payless. They have worked well for a number of years. I have started buying mostly men's shoes from Payless if I want them to last any amount of time and the sandals were a lucky purchase. I need some new tennis or whatever they call them now.

I don't know what "they" call them, but I've decided that when I don't want to mention a particular sport, I just call them "sneakers." I still think of them as tennis shoes, though.
