GROWING ACCUSTOMED TO NEW SURROUNDINGS

Living at my in-laws, our cat, Winnie, spends most of the day underneath a bed. Her sibling, Buddie, has grown accustomed to his new surroundings. Daily we pull Winnie from underneath the bed in the spare bedroom. She eats and then scurries to her hiding place again.

We grow accustom to our new surroundings in Texas. Cindy and I venture out to nearby churches, restaurants, stores, etc. In the mornings we walk an hour on the byroads surrounding my in-laws home. On Monday, we ventured to Ardmore, OK, venturing through Chickasaw Territory, passing the Winstar Casino.

Today, disappointment hit. The agency that asked me to fly to Virginia to interview for a fundraising position informed me that its funds are so low that it cannot afford to bring onto its payroll another employee. So, like Winnie, I stayed home surfing the web for possible employment.

Overall, disappointment notwithstanding, it was a good day for me. I get to spend more time with Cindy.
