Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 Hi Friends and Happy Hodgepodge!  I am joining Joyce for her fun linkup with such thoughtful questions...here we go!

 

 

1. What's worth standing in line for? 

 

 

 A good concert- wine- pizza- clothes

 

 

 

2. Tell us about a favorite food related memory. 

 

 The first time Rob came to our family's Christmas Eve celebration/Feast of the Seven Fishes at my aunt's house...he knew everything I told him but the magnitude of the food and gathering he could not understand until he experienced it first hand- I remember how overwhelmed he was and how much he ate :)

 

 

3. What are some things you find particularly peaceful or calming? 

The ocean- The Beach- Driving around with the top down and listening to favorite music- Reading

 

 

4. Is there something you do now that gets you just as excited as it did when you were a child? 

 Shows (Theater), High School Football Games, The Beach

 

 

 

 

5. To what degree are you in touch with friends from grade school? high school? college if you attended college? 

 

Grade School- a few friends only via Facebook- High School- some friends and classmates via Facebook and IG and my best friend in touch regularly- college- again through FB and IG but in touch with a best friend from college in real life too 

 

 

 

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 I am sensing a back-to-school theme and rightfully so...school starts for us one week from today-eek!  This year is extra emotional for me...I will have a Senior and a 6th grader...soaking it up....soaking it up...thanks for following along and all of your encouragement over the years :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Monday (August 18, 2025)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with my blogging partner Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends!  Hope you will join us!

 

Here is what we were up to...

 

 

Friday Night

 

 

 

Rob and I celebrated our anniversary with a wonderful dinner at Copper Door (thank you Papa!)  

 

 

Saturday

 

 

We were so excited for a weekend around home.  We continued working in the garage and what we are calling "Project Homecoming."  Diana is going to host homecoming photos this year in October so we are purging and cleaning and eventually painting to make sure the garage is in great shape.  Hopefully the kids can get pics outside too but that will be weather dependent!

 

 Rob did most of the garage work and I started setting up and decorating for the Cheer Kick Off Dinner we are hosting next weekend.

 

Later on, I made dinner for the fam.  We all ate at different times.  Diana headed to work.  Rob headed to a gig and Pidge and I watched our various shows and I read my book and crashed early. 

 

 

 Sunday

 

We enjoyed a nice slow morning!  Diana's bestie Harry stayed over so I made them and Eva breakfast.  Harry heads back to his ballet academy next week so they needed to catch up desperately :)

 

I started on Diana's Senior Year Cheer Collage for the Senior Game in October- yes early but want to have plenty of time to make it just right.  Rob helped me cut some pics.

Send Help Please

 

 

Then we picked up Cora and took the girls to Canobie for the day!

 

 Truth be told, I tried to be brave and rally for the girls so I went on the Psycho Drome with them and that went downhill fast- I started feeling very sick and rushed off that ride- when I got outside, I felt worse- think it was because of the heat- I felt like I was going to throw up AND pass out- not a good scene.  Kept a low profile- didn't want the girls to get distracted by me but Robby B certainly stepped up to the plate as did Diana.  She came and picked me up and brought me home to bed where I proceeded to sleep for hours.  Rob rallied and made sure the girls had an absolute blast

 

 and then wrapped up the day with a pizza dinner FTW

 

 Feeling better today-ready to rally- getting ready for a home inspection this evening- so so excited for my buyers :)

 

What were you all up to?
