Hello Friends,
No snow alert today. How about a humidity alert. Wisconsin is hot and humid. We have nasty storms in the forecast for the next few day.
Enough about the weather, it is time for the hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. How would you define 'the good life'?
I am living the good life. I have a beautiful home, garden, family, and friends.
I have my health.
I have the freedoms that many do not have in our world.
I am thankful.
2. What's the most used app on your phone (and are you proud of that)?
Weather App
I can look at the weather App, not believe what I just read. Open the App again in hopes it changed. I do this often during the winter when the temperature is -25 and the wind chill is -50!! I am in hopes the forecast will change in the matter of seconds I close and open the App. The next few days we are going to have stormy weather, once again I will be checking often.
3. 'Every rose has it's thorn', 'everything's coming up roses', 'looking through rose-colored glasses', 'it's no bed of roses' or 'stop and smell the roses'...which rose idiom best relates to something in your life currently. Explain.
I am going to say 'stop and smell the roses'. My husband and I are taking time each week to do something a bit different as a day date. We are going for one a week. So far we have done well, we have been creative. Some weeks the day date is very simple, with making dinner together. I will post soon on our progress.
4. How do you feel about floral flavorings in food or drink (rose, hibiscus, elderflower, lavender)?
If we are talking tea, I love herbal teas and many have rose, hibiscus, elderflower and lavender in them.
I have enjoyed different main course meals and desserts with lavender.
5. Over the course of your life what have you probably spent more time pondering than anything else?
Pondering about my boys. Thinking about how they are doing in life now as grown men. And back when they were little, pondering on how well I was parenting them.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

I think about the quote you mentioned a lot! I ponder the same thing about my kids. And we both said the weather app!! I like how you answered question 1. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of rainy forecasts here too. And it did rain yesterday but apparently we need it still. The lake is funny because there are mountains around it which can make the skies do funny things. I think we never stop pondering the lives of our children. And now I have grandchildren so they're on the list too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Carla that is cute and funny but kinda true for us midwesterners with weather! We are supposed to get the sam weather as you. It is a strong line hitting you and us. Let's hope for the best. Have a good day. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteWe have had so much rain in Alabama lately. We even had some nights where the low was in the 50's IN JUNE. That is unheard of and we have crazy weather here! I really love that quote!
ReplyDeleteIt's humid here, too. It feels nice after such a cold winter...but only because I can escape into the AC when I want! I'm with you regarding roses and pondering. Same thoughts exactly! I hope you have a nice week my friend!! xo
ReplyDeleteLow 90’s but no humidity. I use the weather app too. I save my favorite places and Disneyland is one of them. I think as moms, we will always wonder about our kids. My kids are close and that warms my mother’s heart. Nice that you and your husband have dates!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, dear friend! It is very hot and humid here in Montreal right now! It is 26 Celsius with 73% humidity! This is 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and while this may not seem very hot, out temperatures can rise to over 100 degrees and that, plus the humidity and wildfires we always get in the summer, makes it very difficult to handle, especially for seniors and anyone living with health conditions such as heart, diabetes or asthma.
ReplyDeleteWell we are at soul-withering humidity from now until November, hahaha! It will take you to your knees. You have to plan your day well in order to avoid the worst of it! I'm so thankful for our pool. We've been having impromptu pool parties (with eats, haha) for the grands and that is definitely living the good life!~ xoxo
