Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1. What does patriotism mean to you? 

Patriotism is showing respect.  Respecting our flag by taking care of our flag when displaying it and when taking it down and saying the pledge with gratitude.  Standing up for the singing/playing of our National Anthem (this burns me up when I see people not standing).  Supporting our military is another way I show patriotism; I do send care packages to those in the military.  We need to ALWAYS show respect for our veterans.

I think one shows patriotism by also voting, obeying the law, respecting authority, and by being a good citizen.

2. September-October-November...your favorite fall month? Tell us why. If you live in the southern hemisphere use these months but sub spring for the word fall. 

September is my favorite fall month.  The days are still very warm, but the night is getting a little cooler.  The trees are holding on to their leaves.  September is the beginning of the fall festivities.  September helps me to get in a better routine and there is still a few extra daylight hours left in the day!

3. A song you love with the word thanks (or some form of that word)  in the title or lyrics?

The only song I can think of is the theme song to the Golden Girls..."Thank you for being a friend."

4. November is National Peanut Butter Month. Are you a fan? What's the last peanut butter bite you had? Fill in the blank: peanut butter and _____________________ . 

Oh, and you can't say jelly. 

Most definitely a huge fan of peanut butter.  I eat a package of nabs. but most people call them crackers.  Every night ,I eat an apple dipped in peanut butter.  

Peanut butter and banana sandwich.

5. This week's gratitude question-What event from this past year are you most grateful for? 

Celebrating my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary.  My aunt is only one year older than me ;we are more like sisters.  She got married while still in high school.

I am so grateful for these two people in my life.  It probably isn't the most event I am grateful for, but it was the first event that popped in my mind.



I forgot about my cruise!!  I went on a cruise for the very first time in June!!  I would go again... So grateful for the friends who went with me.


6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Last Tuesday, the boys and I had a Mamaw Day.  


One has to have breakfast first.  Cracker Barrel it was!!

Next...

We had to go and exercise our right to vote.

Then it was time for a little 'free time'

Of course, we had to cuddle Bentley

All this 'free time' made us hungry...


No judging, but the doughnuts were amazing.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to take the boys home.




This was a GREAT Mamaw Day!!!

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!!

  2. That is a fantastic answer for question #1. I always say that voting and being a good person is so important.
    I love what you said about September, I do like getting back into a routine and that warm weather still.
    Congratulations to your aunt & uncle and the cruise sounds wonderful. What a lovely day with the boys! Any good day starts with breakfast out.
