Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 

 

 Hi Friends!  I am here for Joyce's weekly and dynamite linkup!  As always, she has provided us with some thought provoking questions so let's get answering!

 

 

1. Marilyn texted me something that inspired this question, so thank you Marilyn! Of the following sayings, typically associated with the (American) southern way of speaking, which do you most relate to right now? Explain. 

Bless your heart~too big for yer britches~ madder than a wet hen~you're preachin' to the choir~

knee high to a grasshopper~oh my stars

 

also one of the best songs from one of our faves- Megan Moroney

 

Bless your heart...one of my besties Bethany is from the south...she always uses this phrase AND taught me the real meaning of it (which kills me)...so I try to use it when I am with her and we always end up laughing hysterically when we agree on the subject this phrase is directed towards ;)

 

 

2. The Hodgepodge lands on (US) Veterans Day this year. Are you a veteran? Have a family member who's a veteran? If you answered yes, tell us something about them. Will you do anything to mark the day in some special way? 

 

I am not a veteran.  I have the utmost respect for ALL veterans.  My Father In Law Bob is.  My girls always thank him for his service.  We don't do anything big on this day.  We just try to thank him and all veterans we come in contact with on a regular basis.  If you haven't been, I highly recommend visiting Arlington National Cemetery in D.C.  It will put lots into perspective and is an awesome reminder of how grateful we should be to all of our veterans.

 

 

 

3. Is breakfast for dinner a stroke of genius or a sign of total household collapse? Is breakfast for dinner a regular thing at your house? Are all family members on board? 

 

 

Ummm...household collapse?  Hysterical!  It is only a regular thing here because my family loves it.  I could take or leave it but if it means my girls will eat dinner then it is a win in my book! 

 

 

 

4. How do you see the world? 

 

 Wow!  This is a thought-provoking question...right now?  A true gift...this world...this life...but I am worried...I was born worried so it is nothing new but I worry about war...poverty...AI...power outages...too much...but in general...a beautiful gift from God

 

 

 

5. And this week's gratitude question-what's something about your surroundings (home, neighborhood, city) you're grateful for? 

 

 

 The roots my girls have here

 

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

I am writing this on Monday night...I need to heat up dinner for my fam and turn on the news...that's all I got..ha ha!!  Ok I am going to pose a random question for my thought...what kinds of gifts are you getting your people this year?  We are doing a Secret Santa with our fam and I would love to hear your fun ideas!
