Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. Something you learned from your father? 

To always help a person in need, to always be kind and respectful.

2. Do you like onions? Raw or cooked? How about onion rings? What's something you love to eat that calls for onions? 

I liked both cooked and raw onions.  Onion rings (those greasy kind) are great dipped in mustard.  I like a big juicy hamburger with a slab of onion.

3. It's officially summer (in the Northern hemisphere)...your favorite and least favorite things about the season?

My favorite part of summer is the beautiful sunsets and the longer daylight hours.  Here lately, the heat and humidity will take your breath when stepping outside.

4. When you think about the summers of your childhood what are two or three things that come to mind? 

Sitting on a blanket and playing barbies under a shade trade, breaking beans under the shade with family, and the huge carnival that come to town and my allowance was $2.oo which lasted all night.

5.  A hot mess, the heat of the moment, beat the heat, if you can't stand the heat, catch heat, in a dead heat...choose a 'hot 'phrase and tell us how it applies to your life right now.

  We have had a couple of nice days, but the temps and humidity is suppose to return today.  I try to work in my garden in the wee hours of the morning to beat the heat.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We had VBS last week and such a fun time.  It was only for 3 days and 2 hours each day.

Grandsons has a great time!

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!

1. Do you wear your heart on your sleeve? Elaborate.  

Sometimes...when I am around my close friends, I show my true emotions.  When around friends, who are just friends, I do no wear my heart on my sleeve.  I think it is okay to show your true emotions to close friends that is why you are close friends with someone.  I see nothing wrong with this. 

2. A favorite love song? 

"Always and Forever"

3. Do you consider yourself a trusting person? Explain. 

Yes, I consider myself a trusting person, and I like to be around people who are authentic. We all have bad days, but I try to be kind, compassionate, and I have integrity (thanks to my dad for this trait).

4. June 14th is National New Mexico Day...have you ever been to New Mexico (aka The Land of Enchantment)? Any desire to visit the state? Some of the top rated tourist attractions there are- Carlsbad Caverns National Park, White Sands National Park, The Albuquerque International Balloon Festival, Bandelier National Monument, The Georgia O'Keefe Museum, Santa Fe Plaza, and the Petroglyph National Monument. Of the attractions listed which would be tops on your list? 

No, I have never been to New Mexico and I haven't thought about visiting this state. If I was to visit the state, I would chose to see The Albuquerque International Balloon Festival; I think this would be a beautiful sight to see all the different colors and shapes of the balloons.

5. What's something you've found enchanting recently? 

Last night the moon was breathtaking, and my pic does not do it justice

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Last Saturday, I attended my 45th high school reunion.  I think someone calculated it wrong (haha)

All who attended had a great time, but it was sad to learn of so many classmates who have passed away. Such great memories and a fun evening.

The night of the reunion also marked the anniversary of Relay for Life.  It was exactly 5 years ago that...

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!

1. "A daughter's a daughter all her life, but a son's a son til he takes a wife." What say you? Elaborate.

I had two daughers but my hub had avery close relationship to his mother (way more than I was with my mom..ahem) and his mother was involved in our daughter's lives.  My hub was still a son when he and I was married. I personally don't know any man that has quit being a son or a daughter quit being a daughter because of marriage. 

I have 5 beautiful grandsons...THREE are my daughters and TWO (I never get to see) are from my step-son. The idea that my daughter will have to give her sons away when they marry is not the case, but my daughter will have to realize her sons have a change of focus now.

2. Something you've seen recently that was 'cuter than a June bug'? 

3. 'You can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream and that's pretty much the same thing.' Agree or disagree? Last time you had a serving of happiness ice cream?  Dish-cone-milkshake-sundae...which one do you choose? 

Money can't buy happiness, and ice cream can make one happy, and money can buy ice cream!

It has been awhile since I had ice cream; I believe it was last year while in Tybee.  I am not a huge ice cream fan,but I prefer mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone.

4. What is one way/area in which you're currently 'swimming against the tide'? 

Groundhogs!!!  I planted a garden this year; the first time in many, many years.  The groundhogs have eaten my lettuce and hot pepper plants!!  I have called the game warden....NOTHING!!  AND I was told I couln't shoot them since I live in the town limits.  A friend is bringing me a trap this afternoon, so we will see.  They are baby groundhogs so the mother must have left.  I was afraid to put poison out since I have a cat.

5. Three things you're looking forward to this summer?

1. Spending time with grandsons and boat rides.

2. Reading

3. Maybe a trip...who knows...
