WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #640

Thank you Joyce
To play along click HERE

1. What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'? 

I'm going to go with my appointment on Monday with my cardiologist. I don't need to see her for six months. With everything else going on with my health, this was definitely good news. 

2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has it's thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way? 

"Every rose has it's thorn" but I'm hoping to get to "Stop and smell the roses" this year and get my health back in order. 

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated? 

I enjoy getting cards in the mail. I love texting with Amber everyday and also talking with her on the phone. I love when Adam and Gabby have us over. We saw them on Sunday for the Super Bowl.

We will see them on Sunday to celebrate Gabby's birthday which falls on the 14th, Valentines Day, so we don't want to go out to eat on Valentine's day. 

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day? 

Definitely a box of chocolates. Dark chocolate hearts with peanut butter inside from See's candy. No we don't have any plans for Valentine's Day. 

5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love. 

This is a famous love quote: 

“Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can’t help falling in love with you.” —Elvis Presley    

My dad had met Elvis in person and he did sign a photo for him. This was back in the days when my father managed a movie theater.                                          

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Oh Elvis! What a nice keepsake! Lets pray for " stop and smell the roses" for you, sooner than later.🌹

That's fun you have a signed Elvis photo.

I like to get cards in the mail too and also to send cards.
Happy Valentine's Day.

So cool to have an autographed photo of Elvis, Debby! We don't make a big fuss over Valentine's Day here, either. We will probably go to lunch and we always exchange cards. Blessings!

Your dad met Elvis and you have a signed copy of his autograph. Lucky you. I know Amber loves to talk to you every day too. Glad you can go six months without seeing your doctor. I agree - chocolate it is!

My dad's birthday was on Valentines day too. We took him out to dinner for his birthday one year and it was a nightmare. That was the last time we did that.
How cool that your dad met Elvis. My daughter in law is a huge Elvis fan and that's where Presley's name came fro

Oh, my favorite Elvis song; so pretty.

Hi Debby, I am praying this year will be a better year for you too! That signed picture is cool! Have a nice Sunday with your family!
