Hello Friends, it is Wednesday, and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge!
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' How does this saying ring true in your own family, either the one you grew up in or the one you made?
I would have to say our youngest is like me in many ways. He is funny. If things get to serious, he will crack a joke. I am the same way. We like to lighten the mood. He also does not let too much worry him, he figures something out. I am the same way, it is figureoutable.
2. Something you're nuts about these days? How about something that's driving you nuts?
I am nuts about..
Jackson's Avocado Oil Sweet Potato Chips, I am nuts about them, do not leave me alone with a bag.
What is driving me nuts?
I was stuck not knowing a baseball players name, I knew his nickname, Thor, but I could not think of his name. I did not want to look it up. Ha Ha. I am trying to use the old grey cells. I did not have to look him up, my husband gave me the answer, Noah Syndergaard.
3. What does abundance mean to you?
For me abundance means an overflowing amount of something special to you. For me, I have an overflowing amount of people who love me, I am blessed, so very blessed.
4. Caramel apple-caramel cake-caramel corn-caramel sundae-caramel macchiatto...what's your caramel treat of choice?
Caramel Sundae
5. What's a childhood memory that always comes to mind as the leaves start to fall?
Trick or Treat on Halloween night.
My mom would drive my sister and me around our country neighborhood. We would get the best trick or treats, because it was just me, my sister and our three cousins that went trick or treating. Our neighbors loved seeing us kids. We would get bags of candy from Kenny Brown and Ed K. Irene W would make us fresh popcorn balls. The Newton's gave us cans of soda. Trick or Treating out in the country will always be a fun memory for me, and my mom had fun too, stopping to see all the neighbors.
6. Insert. your own random thought here.
Catch a leaf in mid air, make a wish, kiss it and toss it into the wind.

Such a great post, dear Carla. I enjoyed reading your responses and thoughts. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteMorning Carla. OOooo. I love your random thought!! I'm going to try to catch a leaf. Those were the good days when at Trick R' Treat time, people handed out popcorn balls and sodas..There was a couple in our town that did similar things...even Ice cream sandwiches..of course the ice cream was well gone before we headed out to another home..So good!! I think it would be so neat to go Apple picking. No apples though in our area..
ReplyDeleteI loved your last thought-- random. Leaves falling, leaves already on the ground. I love autumn leaves. And the only way you can catch a falling leaf is to be outside among the trees! The best place to be.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with names these days. My hubs and I say it takes a collective brain to come up with information. It does feel like exercise. Your trick or treating memory sounds fun. I grew up in a sprawling neighborhood and we went for blocks. No wonder I have so many fillings : ) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to say, "apples don't fall far from their trees" all the time...and I think she was right 100% of the time. Halloween was super fun in our neighborhood, too. Great memories for sure. Happy Day my friend!
ReplyDeleteI agree! A caramel sundae is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteGreat answers my friend. I love that you can be a "figureoutable" for life. So cute. Have a great week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like way in the past, people cared more about the Halloween treats they gave out, and gave out more homemade items. I guess nowadays though, everything must be wrapped. That is just sad.
ReplyDeleteMy husband´s memory is almost always better than mine; I will describe a person if I can´t think of their name and he almost always comes up with it!! Your trick or treating memory is really good- we used to get popcorn balls as someone´s house, too. I love those freshly made. I love your answer about abundance :).
ReplyDeleteYour youngest sounds wonderful. I love that word figureoutable.
ReplyDeleteI always try to figure things out for myself before I turn to Google. It gives my brain a little work out.
What a wonderful memory from trick or treating.
Apples and October just go together don't they.
ReplyDeleteYour last thought is a lovely one.
All the best Jan
Enjoyed reading your answers today, and the special memories of trick or treating. I love the word "figureoutable" and that you also chose the caramel sundae. Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh man, those grey cells are failing me more and more and it does drive me nuts when I can't come up with a name or a word, etc. etc. Fun Halloween memories, love that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun memory of Halloween. Too funny on using your grey cells too. I am the same way. LOL Janice
ReplyDeleteI love that trick or treat memory! It reminded me of getting cans of soda some years too! I like that you and your youngest are the jokesters of the family. I want to go apple picking. We missed a chance to go with some family but maybe we'll still get there!
ReplyDeletePS I hate when I can't remember someone's name!!! I know if I just stop stressing about it, the name will come to me! It usually works!
