Is This Love and it is the Hodgepodge

 

My favorite Valentine made with love from my mom.

Hello Friends,

It is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge!

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

1. The Winter Olympics kick off on Friday, February 6th...on a scale of 1-10 how excited are you? (1= eh and 10=watching every event all day every day). What's your favorite Winter Olympic sporting event?  

3 ~ I will catch some highlights. In years past I have enjoyed watching figuring skating.

 

2. In other sporting news, the Superbowl (American football's championship game) will be played on Sunday, February 8th. So tell us...what's your superpower?

I have been blessed with a green thumb. 

I love to garden. 

I grow flowers and vegetables.  

 

 3. Are you a romantic? 

I care deeply about those that I love. I do reach out and try to be sure those who are close to me know that I care for them. 

I also like old traditions ... handwritten letters, opening the door, sharing your jacket when you are cold ... or in my case usually his baseball hat.

My sweet husband will give me his baseball hat on windy days if I forget mine when we are on an adventure. My hair will be flying all over and will ask for his hat.

 4. Blue cheese-yay or nay? How about feta? If you said yes to one or both, what's a dish you like that calls for one of these? 

 We do not eat blue cheese.

We do like feta.

I have a muffin recipe that has spinach, sweet potato and feta all mixed in, it is delicious.

  

 5. What's more important-doing what you love or loving what you do? 

I love it when I can be doing what I love to do.

When my boys were growing up we all had chores we do not love to do. So to help with the attitude I turned to Mary Poppins ... to try and make those not so lovable chores into at least liking what we had to do. I still do this with myself.

In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game

… And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

… A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

… A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along - for

… A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
