Hello Everyone... it is Wednesday, time for the Hodgepodge!
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. It's a big week in the US of A as we celebrate Independence Day. Do you have any special plans? How will you mark the day? BBQ? pool-lake-beach time? fireworks? homemade ice cream? If you're not an American you can tell us what's happening in your corner of the world on Thursday.
Independence Day is one of my favorite days to celebrate. I like to make a fruit flag, strawberries, blueberries and dipped white chocolate pretzels. I also dip pretzel rods with white chocolate and use red,white and blue sprinkles to decorate them.
My husband created an Independence Day playlist, with all our favorite songs playing in the background as we play ladder ball, bean bag and more.
2. What's your favorite 'All-American' dessert?
Chocolate Chip Cookie
3. Does that patriotic feeling come easily to you, or are you having to
work for it more these days? What's something that makes you proud to be
a citizen of your country?
We are a patriotic family. We currently have a son serving in the Wisconsin National Guard. He was deployed to Africa 2022-2023. During his deployment he was part of the Sudan Evacuation. This is something that makes me proud to be a citizen of the United States of America... when trouble comes.. we come to help.
4. Your favorite 'patriotic' movie? Favorite patriotic song?
My boys loved to watch The Longest Day ... we watched it so many times together. When ever they were ill from school, we would sit on the couch and watch The Longest Day... we could act some of the scenes.
Favorite song..
