Hello Friends, it is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. What's a winter memory you treasure (can be from any winter in your lifetime)?
I am going to go back to my childhood days. My sister, me and our friends Alex and Arthur would build snow forts together. We would play after school into the dark. It was fun times. We would play "the Russians are coming" and we would roll into the safety of our snow fort. We played for hours... and did not seem to get cold. Ha!
2. Tell us about the last time or a recent time you were caught up in
red tape. Does it send your frustration level off the charts or is it
something you've come to expect when dealing with any sort of
bureaucracy?
I have come to expect it with any sort of bureaucracy.
The DMV is rather S.L.O.W. here in Wisconsin... how about in your neck of the woods?
3. Do you eat/like fish? Do you cook fish at home? What's your favorite fish dish? Ever been ice fishing?
I am sharing some memories.
Yes, we are an ice fishing family.
The photos below are of our boys and me... enjoying a day of ice fishing inside a warm ice shanty. A shanty is a also called an ice house. It is like a little camper you set up on the ice. And some ice houses can get fancy.
Yes, we like to eat fish. My husband makes a great fish fry.
4. Did you watch any of the US President's Inauguration coverage on
Monday, Jan 20? On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being not at all and 10 being
very very) how interested are you in politics in general? Do you
follow/keep up with/ get involved with local politics?
Yes, I did watch some of the US President's Inauguration.
I think I might be an 8 ... I keep a good eye on things. We have a son in the military. I know that during Sam's deployments I pay more attention to all things going on.
Do you
follow/keep up with/ get involved with local politics?
I had to laugh that Joyce had this as a question, because I plan to write a post about this subject. I attended our local village caucus last Monday night. I will be on the ballot for our spring election. I am running to become a trustee on our village board.
5. What's the coziest thing you own and what makes it so?
My winter coat. I love my winter coat. It is from Duluth Trading Company. It breaks the cold winter winds from getting to my bones.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We went for a walk along the river Friday, before the cold snap hit us. Canadian geese were flying to the open water on the river. There were hundreds of them.
