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..
Star Spangled-Banner
Whitney Houston will always be a favorite of mine, she had an amazing performance.
Whitney Houston singing the Star Spangled Banner . . .just thinking about that gives me chillbumps!! Hope you have a great day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGreat hodgepodge. I love the Longest Day movie too. We have a bbq today on the 3rd here in our condo complex and then fireworks are shot off at our clubhouse on the golf course. Some of the best I have ever seen. Then on the 4th we go back to where we use to live with friends to have a bbq and watch the towns fireworks. Lots of fun for the next few day. Happy 4th. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteYour plans for the 4th sounds like a great day filled with happiness and love. I love celebrating our freedom! Please thank you son for his service to our Country, for me! I am so very thankful for all of the men and women that serve, in order for us to celebrate freedom. I hope you will take a picture of your fruit flag and share with us. We have outdoor plans for the 4th...in spite of the 100 degree temps. I am happy to be able to celebrate this day. Happy day before the 4th.
