WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE + HBTM

Thank you Joyce for our questions.

Head on over and join in the fun!

 

 



1. It's a brand new month...share one thing you're looking forward to in October.

Getting together with our kids on Sunday to celebrate a birthday. I do enjoy handing out candy on Halloween and putting together gift bags for my friends children at bowling.

2. Is chivalry dead? Explain.

Chivalry: Gallantry, courtesy and honor  No I don't think it is dead but we certainly don't see enough of it. Our Military is our best example of Chivalry.

3. On October 2, 1950 the Peanuts comic strip made its debut. Which character is your favorite? Which character is most like you? (Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Snoopy, Woodstock, or Pig Pen) If you need a description click here .

I always liked Lucy, she is open, honest and one tough cookie. I am going to say Sally because she was always in love with Linus. I'm all about that knight and shining armor thing!

4. What's something you're competitive about?

I'm not sure what I am competitive about.  Nothing is coming to mind. Obviously when we are at bowling I want our team to win the games but it's all in good fun. Okay I take that back, there is one woman on one team that I know we really love it when we beat her team so maybe that!

5. October is National Popcorn Popping Month...are you a fan? How do you like your popcorn?

Yes I do love popcorn but haven't had any in a long time being on a low carb diet. I like it with lots of butter!

6. When did you first realize the world is small?

Obviously I can meet someone, find some connection from our past and say "It's a small world" but when I read this I was thinking about something else. Growing up they seemed to talk about overpopulation and running out of space. I was always worried about that. Then after I got married Mark and I would travel out West through places like Wyoming. I had no idea there was so much open space and I finally felt some peace about that.

7. In terms of architecture, what's the most beautiful building you've seen up close and in person?

Well I don't know about a building but I had high school friends growing up who actually lived in Frank Lloyd Wright homes in Riverside, Illinois. I love his work. I would probably have to go with the churches in Europe, I think they are amazing.

8. Insert your own random thought here.



to me!

 

So here I am turning "61" and I still haven't come to terms with turning sixty last year. I am still living in disbelief. Anyway I plan on going out for my free IHOP breakfast this morning, going out to dinner with Mark tonight and then on Sunday the kids are coming here to celebrate. We have Lou Malnati's pizza arriving today!
