It is a To the Moon and Back Hodgepodge

It is Wednesday!

It is time for the Hodgepodge.

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

Click here to join the fun! 

 1. Pokemon Go...your thoughts? Are you playing? Do you even know what it is?

 No, I am not playing Pokemon Go.

I do not really know what it is. I have heard a little about it on the radio.

The DJ was sort of making fun of it, saying "At least it is getting people outside and walking around"

 
2. What was something you collected as a child? Do you still have that collection? If you're a parent what's something your own children collected? Have you ever camped out, stood in a crazy long queue, or paid a ridiculous sum for a 'collectible'?

I collected sheep figurines as a child.

Yes, I still have the collection.

My boys both like to collect cool rocks.

No, I have not camped out or stood in a line for any ' collectible '.

3. "Collect moments, not things"...tell us about a moment you've added to your collection this summer.

My boys just got back from a week long trip to Ohio. They competed at  National's for trap shooting.

My collectable moment was on Monday. My boys came home on Sunday night. On Monday we caught up. I spent the entire day with them. We had a fun lunch. I took them to see the community garden and how it changed in a weeks time. They told me all the silly stories about the pranks some of the boys played on the coaches. They went into talking about goals for the future. It was a very special time for me.

 4.  What's something collecting dust in your home right now? Any plans to do something about it?

 My husband has a stack of books, newpapers and so on. 

No, I really can not do anything about them, I do try to hide the stack in some way, but it never works.

5. A favorite song relating to time?

Linger is a camp song, back from my Girl Scout Camp days.

 

Linger

---

Hmmm, I want to linger.
Hmmm, A little longer.
Hmmm, A little longer,
Here with you.
Hmmm, It's such a perfect night.
Hmmm, It doesn't seem quite right.
Hmmm, That this should be,
My last with you.
Hmmm, And come September,
Hmmm, I will remember,
Hmmm, Our Scouting days,
Of friendships true.
Hmmm, And as the years go by,
Hmmm, I'll think of you and sigh.
Hmmm, This is good night
And not good bye.
Hmmm I want to linger.
Hmmm A little longer.
Hmmm A little longer,
Here with you.

6. What's been your most frightening or your most interesting encounter with wildlife?

My husband and I went hiking in the Great Falls, Montana area. We did not even give rattlesnakes a thought.

Yep! Great Falls, Montana has rattlesnakes.

7.  On July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong set his foot down on the moon. If you could travel to the moon would you go? Why or why not?

 No, I am not interested in traveling to outerspace. I have so many places on earth to visit, I am happy with that. Now if you asked my son, Sam, he would say yes! Why, because it would be cool!

 8. Insert your own random thought here.

 Thank You!

For the past two weeks, here on the Hodgepodge I asked for prayer for a friend.

I am happy to report he is doing better.

Dave is one of our boys Trap coaches. He was not able to make the trip to Nationals with the team because of his health. While the the boys went on to Ohio, Dave cheered them on from Wisconsin. And the team was shooting and praying for Dave.

So happy for the news that he is impoving.

Thank you!
