Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Hi Friends and Happy Hodgepodge Day!  I am here with Joyce for her fun linkup and we are answering her questions below...

 

1. The Hodgepodge lands on National Picnic Day...will you celebrate? Do you enjoy picnics? Dining out of doors picnic or otherwise? What are three or four things I'd find in your picnic basket? 

 

 

 

Haven't had a picnic in awhile...I think the last time I did was with besties on the beach...with us...you would've found wine and cheese...maybe some crackers and fruit...oh and our favorite snack turkey sausage from a farm Laurel gets it from in Vermont. Anyway, though I don't get to enjoy them often, I love a good picnic especially on the beach...at the ocean of course...one of my fave picnics with besties, however, was for my birthday and they got steamers or as we say here "steamahs" my favorite!

 

 

 

 

2.  A time recently where you felt 'antsy'? 

 

 Prom Day for Diana...I was nervous and just wanted everything to go right for her and most importantly, wanted her to have fun...prayers were answered and the ants went away ;)

 

 

 

3. As the saying goes...'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'  Do you like lemonade? When did you recently need to make lemonade out of lemons, figuratively speaking?

I like an occasional lemonade..I actually had a lemonade mimosa during Easter brunch.  Figuratively speaking, due to business being down over the last two years, I have fought back by investing in a real estate career and working it as a 2nd job...we still have bills that need to be paid and kids to put through college and my full time job was just not cutting it...anyway...proud of myself because this has not been easy and instead of wallowing in self-pity, I am fighting back and doing everything I can to get the funds back up there...work in progress but I am determined!

4. Recently five 'celebrities' made a brief (ll minute) foray into space aboard Jeff Bezos Blue Origin rocket. Did you hear about this? Your thoughts? If money were no object is this something you'd like to do someday? 

 

Never....would never do it...but...happy for them....I guess?  All I heard was that it was a 10 minute trip and Katie Perry was kissing the ground...oh the drama...I guess I say good for them if it makes them happy?  Ha!

 

 

 

 

5. Favorite thing about the 'space' you're sitting in right now? 

 

My office is my space...I love how much I accomplish here...professionally...personally...I love my quiet time...my time to produce...my time to get inspired....this is my favorite space in our home for many reasons

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 Rest In Peace Pope Francis...I feel he was such a trailblazer...a true Pope for the people...he always had a smile on his face and an encouraging word...he embraced every one of us...what a true impact he made on our entire world
