Keep er Moving Hodgepodge

 

 

 

Hello Friends, it is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge.

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

Click here to join the fun! 

 1. What's something you think is under appreciated. Explain.  

I think the folks that do our "Dirty Jobs" can be under appreciated. 

Monday evening we attended our monthly village board meeting. Listening to the Street and Utility Department report reminded me of all that is going on behind the scenes to keep our municipality going strong.

2. As winter approaches how do you stay productive? 

We live in Wisconsin. The above funny can explain how we roll around here in the winter. We just Keep er Moving. 

There are a lot of fun activities in the winter. 

One of the many is the Book Across the Bay. Ski, snowshoe or walk along the frozen shores of Lake Superior. We have skied and snowshoed in this event. 

It is held at night, with luminaries lighting the path. The winter sky dark and full of stars, it really is magical.


 

3. What's a popular food you don't like? 

 I do not like broccoli or cauliflower? Are they a popular food?

 4. What do you think is more interesting-art or history? Elaborate. 

I enjoy both. If I have to pick one, I will go with history. History was my favorite class during my school days.

 5. What advice would you give to someone half your age?  

Set boundaries.  This was something I had to learn, the hard way.

Below I share one of the books that helped me a great deal after my trust was broken.

Whether you're trying to restore a current relationship or begin a new one, Townsend gives practical tools for establishing trust and finding the intimacy you long for.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 
 
It is coming... winter... 
 

 And when it does this is how dirty our vehicle can get after a day out on an adventure. Salt and sand used on the highways to keep our roadways clean of ice and snow. Oh that makes me think about another "Dirty Job" all those that maintain our roadways. Thank you.. so we can Keep er Moving!

  2. What a cool event! I love that it's lighted too. So pretty! My hubs does not agree but I miss a teensy bit of real winter. We might get one light snowfall here but then it could be 60 degrees the next day so it's not what I call real snow. I think broccoli is very popular and cauliflower is one of those people have mixed feelings about. I love them both though. Enjoy your day!
