Hello Friends, the photo above was taken in 2016.
Let us all say "Hi, George, Tom, Teddy and Abe."
And now for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the question.
1. Many of our earliest presidents created words or expressions widely used today. Teddy Roosevelt is credited with mollycoddle, pack rat, frazzle, and loose cannon...which of those words/phrases currently relates to your life in some way?
I will choose mollycoddle. My boys are traveling this week. I cannot help but get that mollycoddle feeling.. praying for them to have a safe trip and a great adventure.
2. Have you visited many (or any) of the US Presidents homes, monuments, libraries or related sites? If so what's been your favorite? Are there any you particularly want to see? Here's a link to presidential sites listed by state which is kind of fun to read-Presidential Places by State. And since several bloggers who participate in the HP each week live outside the US, here's a link to Presidential Places Outside the US. Have you seen any of those?
We visited Mount Rushmore in 2016. It was a great family trip.
My husband and I do plan to visit several of the sites in Illinois in 2025.
I have not visited a Presidential Library, it is something I hope to do.
My uncle and aunt do not live far from College Station, Texas. During our next visit to Texas to visit my uncle and aunt we could plan to go to the George Bush Library.
3. February 20th is National Cherry Pie Day...will you celebrate? Given your choice of cherry pie, cherry cobbler, cheesecake with a cherry topping, or black forest cake which would you choose?
No I will not. I am not really a big fan of cherry. If I did pick something out it would be a cherry turnover.
4. Last time you worked a puzzle of some kind? Something that had you puzzled recently?
My husband and I are currently working on a puzzle.
Oh many times technology has me puzzled. I will say "why is this doing this now, I have not changed anything or pressed anything and here it decides to go bonkers."
5. Of the early blooming flowers (January-early March depending on your zone) which one's your favorite?
snowdrops, lenten roses, pansies, violets, snapdragons, reticulated iris, crocus, winter jasmine
Do you have any of these in your own yard/garden?
From the list we have snowdrops, violets and crocus in our garden.
My favorite spring flower is the daffodil.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Next week we order our chicks. I cannot wait, it is always so much fun to go to our farm store and pick them up. "Peep, peep, peep." they say on the ride home.
