1. What does freedom mean to you? 

I seem to be struggling to answer some of these questions. I don't know why??? So I am just going with something that I read...

"The condition or right of being able or allowed to, say, think, etc., whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited."

2. How will you celebrate Independence Day this year? If you live outside the USA answer this question as it relates to your own country's patriotic holiday, wherever that may land on the calendar.

We will driving home from Montana. We were originally going to get home on the 4th but we are staying an extra day. 

3. This or that...red, white, or blue? Stars or stripes? Watermelon, home made ice cream, or blueberry pie? How do you feel about fireworks? 

Oh my, I guess I will go with blue. I will go with stars. I'm going to pick watermelon. I do like fireworks and since we moved in our house 18 years ago we can watch fireworks from several towns from our view. They are not up close but they are really fun to watch. 

4. What have you purchased recently that made you excited? 

I can't think of anything right now. 

5. I'm thankful to live in America (or fill in whatever country you call home) because____________.

Because of the freedom we have. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

As I type this I am sitting in Amber and Dylan's kitchen. Their house is so beautiful and I will share pictures at some point. We have just been hanging out at the house. We will be visiting places by the time you see this post and going to some of our favorite places to eat. We will be heading home on Thursday and get home on Saturday.

1. What does adventure mean to you? 

I think an adventure is something new that you have never tried before. Of course I can't come up with an answer as to what that would be. 

2.  What are your thoughts on tipping? What businesses or service providers do you regularly tip? Do you resent being asked if you'd like to add a tip? What about when a suggested amount is presented? 

We always leave a tip when we go out to eat, although we haven't been doing much of that lately. I give my hairdresser a very nice tip. I don't think anyone should suggest an amount. I do believe that a tip is a nice thing to do. 

3. I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream...do we? Is ice cream a favorite treat at your house? What's your favorite flavor? Regular, soft serve, gelato, sherbet, or some sort of non-dairy version of ice cream...what's your pleasure? 

We have a vanilla ice cream in the freezer from Costco that I love. However, I don't eat it very often. I just like to know that we have it. 

Mark ran to Costco recently and I told him if they don't have the ice cream get some drumsticks. Well they had the ice cream and he also bought a pack that had like 16 drumsticks, 12 ice cream bars and 12 ice cream sandwiches. It's way to much! 

4. What's your 'back in my day, we____________________ ' story or saying? 

All I can think of is that back in the day, when I was growing up, we could do so much more than the kids today. We could be gone most of the day and our parents didn't have to worry about us. Kids can't do that anymore. 

I am also very concerned about James growing up with AI. I don't like it at all. 

5. Somehow this is our last Hodgepodge in the month of June. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in July. Wow. Sum up your June using three adjectives. 

As you know, my health has really messed up most of this year.  However the rest of this month hopefully will be awesome traveling to see Amber and Dylan. I still need prayers with my lungs. We will return home on the 4th of July.  

CHALLENGING - SCARY - BLESSED

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

As you know from my post yesterday, I will not be around reading blogs. However, I might get a chance to read some. We shall see. 

I also may not be able to link up today's post and next weeks because I will be in the car both those days. I don't know how to do it from my phone. However, my post should be there for you to read.
