Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1.  Are you more life of the party or more party pooper? If your answer is somewhere in the middle which side of the middle do you lean towards more? 

Birthday party, beach party, cocktail party, dinner party, charity fundraiser, surprise party, costume party, garden party, Christmas party, reunion...what's your favorite kind of party? 

I am in the middle but lean towards life of the party. I don't think I am a party pooper at all. 

My favorite kind of part would be a beach party. I have attended many charity fundraisers and I didn't mind going.  Hub just had to keep me away from the silent auction table. ha!

 


2. Cheese, wine, and balsamic vinegar all improve with age. What would you personally add to the list? 

Exercise, I believe, will improve with age.  I also think having a positive outlook on life improves age.


3. How do you feel about your birthday? How do you want to be celebrated? Or don't you? 

I don't really celebrate my birthday that much now that I am older.  Hearing from grandsons wishing me a happy birthday is all that I need.

4. What remarkable feat, interesting piece of trivia, or historical event occurred on your birth day and month? Not necessarily your same birth year, just the same date/month. 

I had to look this up and found out:  Battle of Gettysburg ended AND the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 3, 1776!!   Wonder why we don't celebrate on July 3rd, but we celebrate on July 4th or maybe I am just confused!

5. Share two good things about your life right now. 

1.  Health and having my basic needs met.

2. Even simple things...taking a walk with a close friend and sharing a cup of coffee .

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I went this weekend with a few friends to Hot Springs, Virginia.  We had rented a nice, cozy cabin.  We booked a one and one half hour session in the Warm Springs Pool.  The water is naturally fed by a 98 degree F mineral spring.  Total relaxation.

Our cabin had a fire pit and it was definitely used!


There was a creek running behind the property.  AND it was warm water.


We ate at this little place and the food was scrumptious!  The weather was perfect, so we were able to eat outside.



The property was lined with beautiful strawberry hydrangeas.  The picture doesn't do them justice.


It was so nice to just escape reality for a short while after this past horrific event in the news.

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!

  3. I have never been to a beach party, I would love to though.
    That is strange that Independence Day isn't celebrated on the 3rd of July. It has confused me too.
    What a wonderful break away you had!

  4. Your weekend sounds perfect! I don't think I'm familiar with that area, but looks like a wonderful getaway. You probably get fireworks on your birthday every year...the plus side to a patriotic date! Have a great day!
