Hi everyone!
It’s been a while. I don’t have an excuse beyond rain, work and lethargy.
I went out this week with a coworker who grew up Mormon. As a student at BYU, she was asked by a boy, “What’s your talent?”
Like most people would be, she was astounded.
But that religion is about getting, having and keeping a man, so …
That phrase made me think: What’s my talent?
I can write — when inspired (and not hampered by rain, work and lethargy).
I can cook complicated dishes. Homemade ravioli? NBD.
I can tie a cherry stem in my mouth with my tongue. (Party trick FTW!)
I can follow directions. (Please put me as your No. 2 for “The Amazing Race.” I will not disappoint.)
I can meet a deadline like no one else.
I am organized as f—-.
I am an excellent travel agent and companion.
I’m the “yes, and?” friend — up for any adventure.
I can even do these adventures on my own.
For example, I needed to kill time in Portland before I headed to the airport. I found the Peculiarium.
Seemingly right up my alley.
And it was, except the gift shop was larger than the main attraction.
Here are some photos of the highlights so you don’t have to spend time and $10 when you are in Portland.
Anyway.
What was scarier was this house next door:
Maybe there are talented contractors out there who can help this old house.
I’m not interested in that adventure. I can be handy if necessary, but that needs more help than I can provide.
What’s your talent?
Tell me everything.
Beth

Oh that’s weird! I wonder why. You have pointed out something NOT OBVIOUS!
