Wedensday Hodgepodge

 

 
 
 Hi Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I am joining Joyce  for her fun linkup...let's answer her questions...
 
 
 
1. Besides Thanksgiving, something on your November calendar you're looking forward to? 
 
 

 
Hosting our Annual Risotto Night for Cass and me...hosting wine group where we are tasting some of of our faves- Orin Swift wines and at least one more football game...
 

2. Dictionary.com's word of the year is '6-7'. 


 


What do you think? 

Dictionary. com says it's selection each year is a 'linguistic time capsule reflecting social trends and events, but they also admitted to being confused by '6-7'. Some say it means so-so and is sometimes accompanied by the up and down hand motion we associate with the phrase so-so.

 

 Hysterical!  Oh the kids will eat this up...doesn't even mean much...just so funny that it stuck!

 

What word do you think would have made a better choice?  


Ummm...I am not mad about this word...I think it was the perfect choice for this year 

 

 

3. What's a food, trend, activity, or thing people love but you think is just so-so? 

 


 

Pickle Ball...can't even say I have tried it but seems like the newest fad and people are getting hurt left and right...I hear it is rough on the knees 

 

 

 

4. Are you a tea drinker? Hot or cold? How do you like yours and at what time of day? Do you like flavored teas or teas billed as calming, energizing, healing, etc? 

 


I drink cold, healthy teas now daily...I was an avid coffee drinker but once I discovered the different Herbalife teas...I was a goner...I make them at home now to save money and I need them! :)

 

5. The November Hodgepodge has always included a weekly gratitude question. Here's the question for today-what are three things that make your heart sing? 

 


 My family- My friends- My home

 

 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

 

A local news anchor who we watch daily, nailed it on the head for Halloween!  She and her family went out as "Back to The Future"- I am obsessed! 

 


 That's a wrap!

You can probably name fun traditions for each month of the year :). I love all your traditions, btw. I wish that I had more than I do!! I don't drink cold teas as much as warm ones but I should look into the healthy cold teas. (Diet Peach Snapple is likely not healthy, lol.) Great pic and great list of what you're thankful for! Have a great one!

What a cute costume! My son-in-law is an orthopedic surgeon and the pickle ballers keep them in business these days. ER docs too. One of our neighbors fell and had a brain bleed that was very serious. We played some before I broke my elbow (not playing pickleball) but haven't since then. I understand the appeal because it was fun, but I don't want another injury. I'd like an invite to your risotto night-sounds so fun and we love Orin Swift wines. Have a great day!

I'm visiting from the Hodgepodge! The family costumes from Back to the Future are great!!

Kim Carberry said...

It sounds like a good plan for November!
I have never heard of anyone playing Pickle ball here but I imagine they do.
Ahh! The Halloween costumes did make me smile.

Holly said...

I totally get why you like the Snapple Diet Peach Tea- that is one of my faves too :) Thank you for your kind words- I love traditions if you couldn't tell ;)

Holly said...

Well I am glad someone is benefiting from this sport- ha! ;) You are welcome anytime Joyce!

Holly said...

Aren't those costumes genius?! :)

Joanne said...

Those costumes are fabulous! What a fun family costume idea. Your teas always look so yummy. I am a sucker for a good flavored iced tea.

Holly said...

November should be a good month!

Holly said...

Right? I want to do this!

Tanya said...

That's the cutest family Halloween costume. I said pickleball too - I just don't get it. Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday!

Holly said...

Great minds think alike Tanya- no thank you ;)

Mandy said...

Could you share your tea recipe you make at home?

Hall Around Texas said...

All the November things! You’re going to have so much fun. You’re the first to say that you like the 6-7 word of the year (that I have seen so far!). The Back to the Future theme is so cute!

Holly said...

Absolutely- I will do a post about it for you! Check it out tomorrow (bonus post on a Saturday)
