| My grandpa Sam and grandma Vida. |
Hello Friends, it is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions
1. Next Sunday is Grandparent's Day. Share a favorite memory, photo, recipe, or something you learned from a grandparent.
Our first born son is named Samuel Charles.
Samuel for my grandpa Samuel and Charles for my father.
Our Sam has that same curly hair as my grandpa Sam.
2. What's a quote from a book (besides The Bible) that has stayed with you?
“But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, "Courage, dear heart," and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's, and with the voice a delicious smell breathed in her face.”
C.S. Lewis ~ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
3. What's your number one food pet peeve?
I need a separate dish for my cold salads and beans. If I am having a burger or a sausage and the sides are baked beans and cold salads. I am going to need a dish for the beans. They have to be on their own.
I will need a plate for the cold salads.
I just do not like to have my hot food with my cold food.
4. What's one thing about you that is still the same as it was when you were young?
I have to have short nails. I use to chew my nails when I was young, thank goodness I broke that habit very early in life. I broke the habit, but I need to have short nails. I cut and file my nails every-other day.
5. September is National Preparedness Month...does your family have an emergency plan? Do you have some sort of preparedness kit you keep on hand? If so, tell us one thing that's kept there.
Our kids do not live in the same community as us. We would do our best to get together if something major happened. My husband and I have a couple neighbors we would go to for help.
We have a kit in our car, blankets, wet wipes, kleenex, toilet paper, flashlights and first aid kits.
As far as in the house, we have flashlights, candles and bottled water.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I have been waiting all summer for the morning glories to bloom.
Hang on summer, enjoy the last three weeks of summer my friends.
Your morning glories are beautiful! I'm hanging on to summer although our weather has felt more like fall. We will probably have more warm weather still though and I'm okay with it. You can never go wrong with a C.S. Lewis quote. I love family names and my middle grandson has my mom's maiden name as his middle which makes me think of my grandma too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt’s always nice learning more about you, Carla. I loved your C. S. Lewis quote and seeing Sam’s curly hair and how he got his name. I hope you get to enjoy your morning glories for a while yet! Happy September hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour morning glories look worth the wait! Your grandparents were a beautiful couple! That is a great quote from the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. CS Lewis has so many great ones in his books and other writings! I don't have your hot food/cold food issues with regard to plating but I think it makes sense how that could bother someone :). Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHanging on for the last little bit of summer and my flowers too. I always love all your sweet answers. How nice that Sam got his curly hair like your dad's. Have a great day. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteI love C.S. Lewis!! That is a great quote. Your morning glories are so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteMorning Carla. Yay!! your morning glories are blooming!! Reminds me of my mom! My grandkids are much like you. No beans on the plate...they have to be in a separate bowl. Several other foods like their salad. Thanks for introducing me to the Wednesday Hodgepodge.
ReplyDeleteHow great that Sam has the name of both great grandpas and hair of one of them, too. I hope he likes it. He looks smashing! Love that quote from the Dawn Treader. Happy September to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ❤️ photos, Carla. Thank 😊 you so much for giving me the opportunity to learn more about you 🙏
ReplyDeleteOnly one of my morning glories survived but it has been blooming for the past few weeks and I love seeing it. That is so cool about Sam and your Grandpa and their shared curly hair. I get it about your food vessel rules. That makes sense!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty pink morning glory. Have not seen that variety in awhile. Thanks for sharing how Sam got his name. Janice
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to name your son after your grandpa and father.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that, I don't like my hot and cold food together and mixing.
I am the same with my nails, I used to chew mine and now have to have them short unless it's for a special occasion and I will wear false one's but they never last long.
What pretty flowers!
That's a sweet answer for #1. Love the curly hair. Interesting quote. That makes sense on your pet peeve. That is also interesting about your nails. Glad you have a kit in the car for emergencies. Great idea. Your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour grandparents are beautiful! I love the name Vida, I hope it makes a comeback. Lovely morning glory.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mix of memories, practical tips, and little personal quirks! I love that your son carries your grandpa’s name and curls. It’s such a sweet way to honor family.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love that picture of your grandpa and grandma, Carla. It's a treasured photo. How nice that your Sam is named after him. I smiled when you mentioned the beans.....I do the same thing. I'm so glad you don't bite your nails anymore. I still do from time to time, but I would rather have short nails than long. I can't imagine working and cleaning with some of those long nails I've seen haha. Your morning glories are soooo pretty. Love the hodgepodge today, Carla.

Interesting answers this week. We also have emergency stuff including a small solar power for charging our cell phones.
ReplyDeleteLove your morning glories!
Such a sweet photo of your grandparents, Carla. I was very close to my grandmother, she well deserved a special day.
