Get to Know Liz

What is a quote you like to live by? "Bloom where you are planted" was my grandmother's favorite quote. She moved around a lot in her life, and this reflected her belief (and ability!) in making the best of any situation.
Do you have any pets? If so, tell us about them. Bonnie and Clyde are our two seven year-old cats. We adopted them during the pandemic. They like stalking birds and squirrels, but are very slow so have never caught anything. Bonnie is bonded to me, so you might meet her on a zoom call!
What is something unique you'd like us to know about you? I lived in Taiwan for a year in college. As a result, I love Chinese food, among many other kinds of cuisine. I would like to study Chinese again sometime, as I have forgotten a lot!
