This week I was off to Hot Springs to visit Mom – John and I aren’t planning to take any time off from work over the holidays, so I figured I should take advantage of a Mexican holiday and make it a four-day weekend. Last night I had a great visit and\u00a0dinner\u00a0with Dail and Nancy – we sure do miss them!<\/p>\n
Hurricane Ike blew through Hot Springs last night – I saw three trees down during my morning walk today.<\/p>\n
Last Sunday, several TDYers arrived in Juarez, including our A-100 classmate, Cathy. John and I picked her up in El Paso, then had everyone over for dinner that night. They are all from border towns, too, so it was fun to compare stories. Cathy and I also had dinner together later in the week at Corralito’s.<\/p>\n
Work was fine this week –\u00a0no big whoop. We had a couple of brown bag lunches, and lots of applicants, as usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
