Hello Friends,
The other day I peeked out at the bird-feeder, what did I see?
A rascal of a squirrel at my feeder.
Looking closer I see that this squirrel is sporting a white tip on that tail.
The acrobat that this squirrel is to get to a favorite treat.
"Today I embrace what makes me beautifully unique and beautifully me."
Have a great weekend my friends!
♥

Hello Friends, it is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. Have you done more binge watching this past year than in 'normal' years? Any plans to break that habit in 2021? Tell us one or two shows you binged last year that you really liked.
No change in our normal watching of T.V.
We recently watched the following movie. I give it a thumbs up.
2. January 26th is Australia Day. Have you ever visited or lived in
Australia? Have you ever tasted Vegemite, and if so what did you think?
Is a trip down under on your bucket list? We answered a question about
travel three months ago (the October 21st Hodgepodge), but let's revisit
now...where are you when it comes to planning or even imagining travel this year?
My dear friend Judy has a daughter who lives in Australia. And my dear friend Lori, who is Judy's daughter has a sister who lives in Australia. Judy has visited and she took her grandboys on a trip to Australia. We were blessed with gifts from the trip, stories and seeing photos.
I have not tasted Vegemite.
I don't think I will be visiting Australia anytime soon.
As far as travels for 2021, no travel plans out of the state of Wisconsin are planned.
3. Something that zaps your energy? Something that energizes you?
Something that zaps my energy would be cold, cold weather. We have been fortunate this winter here in Wisconsin with a mild winter. Last week I was reminded how cold, cold weather feels as we had temperatures in the negatives. I delivered Meals on Wheels last week on a very cold, windy day, I was zapped of energy at the end of the day.
Something that energizes me. Coffee, chocolate and walks in the woods.
4. On a scale of 1-10 what are your eating habits like these days? (1=all junk food all the time and 10= juicing every green thing in the frig) Healthiest meal you've eaten in the last week or so?
No change in our eating habits. We are on a quiche kick. I have been trying a few new quiche recipes. I will be sharing on the blog soon.
And a meatloaf recipe, using bourbon. I have to tweak this one a bit more before I share.
5. What's your most often 'Back in my day....' thing to say?
My husband and I were just saying "Back in my day..." to our son on Sunday during the football games. Back in our day, football was different. The rules have changed, players have changed, the NFL has changed.
My husbands favorite was QB Joe Montana. I enjoyed watching football with my dad. My dad and I both loved loooong passes and Joe Montana was a QB that could do that.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Another "Back in my day..."
Everybody likes to find a letter in the mail, but it doesn't happen as often as it used to. Remember a phone call is nice but a letter is forever. Makes someone's day.
During the lockdown my sister sent me Pandemic Postcards. I just received another in the mail from her the other day.
The new rug for the guest room, looks to be Penelope approved.
I asked my mom if she could design and create a fun rug for our new guest room using the color grey. She did a fantastic job matching the colors. I like the design.
My mom is a seamstress and master at crocheting. The rug is crochet.
Penelope's colors match as well.
