Wednesday Hodgepodge

 
Hi Friends! It is Wednesday and you know what that means.  It is time to join Joyce for her Hodgepodge linkup...we are answering the fun questions below...so let's get to it...
 
 
1. What's a characteristic you admire in others? Elaborate. 
 

 
 
Loyalty...warmth...a listening ear...just knowing you can trust that person and always depend on them for emotional support and even just a hug 
 
 

2. Do you have a favorite mug? Let's see it. Why is this one your favorite? 

 


Yes!  Give me all of the insulated mugs and cups nowadays...they keep my teas cold for hours...and of course I would pick a Lilly one as my fave :)

 

 

3. July 15th is/was National Give Something Away Day...will you (or did you, depending on what day you answer these questions) give something away? If so what? Do you regularly give away or do you tend to  'accumulate'? 


 

Does three days ago count?  We brought several bags of clothes to Goodwill to donate.  See?  Here is our receipt :)

 

 

4. You're planning a trip. Do you prefer exploring big cities or smaller, more off the grid towns? World Atlas lists these 12 'off the grid' towns to see in 2025. How many on the list have you seen? Of those listed which one would you most like to visit? Tell us why? 

Boothbay Harbor Maine, Middlebury Vermont, New Hope Pennsylvania, Rehoboth Beach Delaware, Brevard North Carolina, Saugatuck Michigan, Medora North Dakota, Ouray Colorado, Lamoille Nevada, Neah Bay Washington, Hood River Oregon, or Cambria California

 


I would explore any size city...I love seeing new places to us...out of this above, we have seen NONE...eek...but I would say I would most want to see Boothbay Harbor Maine...no place I rather be in the summer than New England and near or on the ocean :)

 

5. Have you ever...ridden a motorcycle? been to a Disney park? met a celebrity? won a contest? Tell us something about whatever you answered yes to on this list. 


 

 Never rode a motorcycle...have been to both Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida AND Disneyland in Anaheim, California- love them both.  

 

I met Doug Flutie (Former QB from BC and then the New England Patriots) when I was on a school trip to NYC in high school and more recently, Debbie Gibson!  She was my childhood idol and Rob lined up a VIP meet and greet after her local show...that was our anniversary gift :)

 

  

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

 This...is a very powerful prayer...

Boothbay is darling! We only spent one afternoon there but we loved it. Very quintessential New England small seaside town feel.

A little town in Maine would be divine! And, bonus if it is near water. That picture looks so quaint. Debbie Gibson!

Having someone you can trust and knowing that they will be there to listen is so important.
That mug is so cute!!

That is so cool that you met Debbie Gibson- and that Rob arranged it knowing you were a big fan of hers. So sweet! Love that first picture of you and your best girls from girlfriends to mom and daughters. It's so good! Have a great day!

How cool that you met Debbie Gibson! I always liked her. I saw her with NKOTB, Tiffany, Salt N Peppa and maybe someone else? a few years ago. I called it the middle aged Mom tour. LOL

All the little coastal Maine towns are charming. I wouldn't mind a return trip. I did make a donation to a Go Fund Me yesterday but didn't think about that when I answered. I like the insulated cups for cold drinks, but less so for hot. I want my coffee in a mug, not too big and not too small lol. Hope you have a great day!

We met Doug Flutie many years ago at Disney! Nice guy who was very gracious about photos.

I love your answer to number 1! How fun you met Debbie Gibson! As a southerner, I for sure think a trip to the New England area would be ideal in summer. Enjoy your day!
