1. What most recently gave you goose bumps? 

I'm not coming up with anything. 

2. What does Halloween look like in your home and/or neighborhood these days? Do you participate? 

I don't decorate anymore and we stopped a few years ago giving out candy. Not many young kids here anymore. So we just turn out our lights. 

3. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, chia...your favorite seed on the list? What's something you like to make/eat that calls for one of these seeds in the recipe? 

I like poppy seeds but haven't baked anything in a long time where I would use poppy seeds. Mark likes to eat pumpkin seeds and Gabby recently bought him 2 bags at Trader Joe's. 

4. What's the most (or one of the most) 'fall photos' you've ever taken? Share it here. Just one.

I forgot to check out the year this was taken. This was in front of a house that Amber and Dylan were living at in Montana several years ago. Since we have been living in Southern California for so many years we seldom see trees like this. 


5. Somehow we're rolling in to November next week. If your October were a chapter in a book, what would the title of this chapter be? 

A Great Month - It was my birthday, Amber and Dylan were here and we celebrated James turning 8. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

These are the Halloween costumes that Adam, Gabby and James are wearing this year. They are going over to Gabby's sisters house to go Treat-or-Treating and spending the night. So we won't see them this weekend.



*************************************

I want to apologize for not getting around and reading everyone's posts. I just haven't been feeling well and when there are about 100 to read I just can't get to all of them. Please know that I do try but if I haven't read your recent post I am truly sorry.

Thank you Joyce.

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on 'Back To The Future Day'. October 21, 2015 was the date the movie characters (Marty McFly, Doc, and Jennifer Parker) traveled to in the future in the 1989 film Back To The Future Part 2. 

Did you see the movie? Tell us a something about what was happening in your life in the fall of 2015. 

Yes, I enjoyed the Back To The Future movies. From what I can see we did a Wednesday Hodgepodge about Back To The Future on October 21, 2015. Also, Adam was coming to visit with us. I wonder where he was living at the time.

2. Which -ber month is your favorite? (September, October, November, December). Explain why. 

This is a hard one to answer living here in Southern California. My birthday is in October, November is Mark's birthday and I do of course love Christmas. Of course now we have James in October too! If you didn't see my post it is here:

3. Red, yellow, orange, bronze...your favorite fall color to wear? To eat? To see in nature? 

I can't say that yellow is my favorite color to wear but yellow is my favorite color. To eat, I guess it would be a banana. To see in nature maybe a bird, however, I do love sunflowers. 

4. What do you miss most about being 20? 

I'm going with my good health and not really stressing about anything in particular. 

5. We're roughly three quarters of the way through the year. What's one goal, habit, or mindset you want to purposely carry into the final weeks of the year? Elaborate. 

I want to make everyone happy at Christmas. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We celebrated James' birthday at Benihana. It's his favorite place to go on his birthday. However, each year they take a group picture and they didn't do one this year. So this is all I have. 

They sang Happy Birthday to James. 

He blew out his candle

He loved his dinner. 
He loves shrimp.
