Goodbye February and it is the Hodgepodge

 

 

Hello Friends, we are coming out of the deep freeze. Last week Wednesday our temperatures were in the single digits and below. Oh how good it feels to be in the high 30's and 40's. And now on to the Hodgepodge. 

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions. 

Click here to join the fun! 

 

 1. February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read a fairy tale lately? What's your favorite fairy tale? Do you believe in 'happily ever after'?

My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast.

Yes, I do believe in 'happily ever after' ... my parents have been married 50 YEARS + ... it can happen, I know other couples that are married 50 years plus. It takes WORK, but yes, I do believe in happily ever after.

 

2. Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently-

  • Once upon a time___________
  • A long time ago________________
  • In a place far far away__________

Once a upon a time two little boys lived in this house.


 

3. Which of the following 'fairy tale foods' is your favorite? Which have you made/eaten most recently? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland) 

 

I love a good gingerbread cookie with a cup of black tea.

 

 4. What's your idea of fun? 

 

Hanging out with family and friends.

Anytime I get to spend time with my boys.  



 

5. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy.

 

 Noun ... Family 

We traveled to visit my parents a few times in the month of February.  

Verb ... Drive

We went for a two hour drive to visit my parents.

Adjective ... Bumpy

It was a bumpy ride to my parents, pothole season has arrived in Wisconsin.

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

God make my life a little light

within the world to glow

a little flame that burneth bright

wherever I may go

God make my life a little hymn

of tenderness and praise

of faith that never waxeth dim

in all His wondrous ways.

  1. Winter and spring rain brings potholes to Alabama - sometimes I feel like my whole car is going to fall in!
