Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. June 17th, 1994 was the day of the infamous O.J. Simpson car chase. What were you doing in 1994? I'm guessing somebody is going to tell me they weren't born yet but that's part of the fun of the Hodgepodge. Lots of generations are represented here. 

In 1994, I was raising a 7 year old and a 5 year old girls.  My late hub and I were living in the house we had built.  My late hub was coaching Pony League baseball and I was dragging the girls to all the games! I do remember the famous Bronco chase!!

2. What's your favorite summer salad that isn't the traditional tossed green lettuce kind of salad? Do you like fresh fruit in a salad (other than in a fruit salad of course)?

 

My favorite is Cowboy Caviar..black beans, black-eyed peas, corn,bell peppers, tomatoes and vinaigrette.  I also enjoy a Watermelon Feta Salad.

I do like some fresh fruit in a salad.

3. Is chivalry dead? Should it be? 

I am in the middle on this one.  I think they can be practiced as courtesy and respect for all.  It shouldn't be a set of rules applied to just a certain group.

Integrity, respect, and kindness are worth keeping.

4. Would you rather spend a week of your summer vacation in Hawaii or Alaska? Have you ever been to either? Are they two places you really would like to see? How do you feel about 'Hawaiian pizza' aka pineapple on a pizza? Have you ever eaten Baked Alaska? 

Spend my summer in Hawaii.  I have been to Hawaii, but not Alaska; my brother lived in Alaska for about 4 years. I would like to go back to Hawaii one day.  I stayed on the island of Maui.   When it comes to pineapple on my pizza, I am a pizzaholic!!!  I have eaten Baked Alaska, but not a fan.

5. World Cup play is happening now...are you interested? Watching any matches? Did you or your children play soccer/futbol? There are eleven US cities hosting matches-

I am not a soccer fan, even though one grandson played the sport for two years.  I never played soccer. 

-Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York with the stadium in NJ, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle

along with  three cities in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey)

and two in Canada (Toronto and Vancouver)-

You get free tickets to one of these matches. Which city do you choose? Tell us why. 

I chose Philadelphia.  First, I have never been.  I would love to see Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall.  I have never cared about going to Mexico or Canada.  New York would be my second choice.  I love visiting New York!!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Don't ask my how, but I completely lost my blog!!  After a couple of weeks, it was restored!!  Yay!!

My oldest grandson's All Star Baseball Team won their Division!!  They lost in Sectionals, but the team improved the more they played together.  A great season!!

Accepting his medal!

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