Happy Thanksgiving and it is the Hodgepodge

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

We will be traveling to visit family this Thanksgiving. I have not seen my sister since last Thanksgiving, it will be a blessing to catch up in person.

 

And now it is time for the Hodgepodge. 

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

 1. Do you feel like you have a 'full plate' at the moment? In what way? 

 

I am feeling good about my commitments I have for the month of December. 

 

2. How did you learn to cook? If you have children did you teach or encourage them to cook? Do you like to follow a recipe or is your cooking style more 'let's wing it'.    

 

 I learned from my mom. Yes, both of our son's enjoyed learning how to cook. Our son Atticus enjoys baking. I do follow a recipe.

 

 3. Last time you bit off more than you could chew? Elaborate. 

 

This usually happens to me while gardening. I will start a project that I think will only take me about an hour. Instead half of the day has gone by and I am still in the thick of it.

 

  4. When did you last say 'the more the merrier' and mean it? 

 

When our son's have others with them for a visit and they did not tell us ahead of time. I am so happy to spend time with them and meet their friends and co workers. 

 

 5. Write an acrostic using the word T-H-A-N-K-S.  

 

Time with family.

Happy Thanksgiving 

 

Over the river and through the wood,

    To grandfather's house we go;

         The horse knows the way

         To carry the sleigh

    Through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood--

    Oh, how the wind does blow!

         It stings the toes

         And bites the nose,

    As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the wood,

    To have first-rate play.

         Hear the bells ring,

         "Ting-a-ling-ding!"

    Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,

    And straight through the barn-yard gate.

         We seem to go

         Extremely slow--

    It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood--

    Now grandmother's cap I spy!

         Hurrah for the fun!

         Is the pudding done?

    Hurrah for the pumpkin-pie!
