WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #368



1. Ever played the game Farkle? Are you a risk taker? In games only or also in life?

No I haven't played that game. I am not a risk taker at all!

2. What's your favorite thing about your yard or whatever outdoor space you may have?

Definitely our view, layout and the plantings. 

3. Tell us about the most interesting building you've seen or been in.


I am sure I have seen several interesting building and especially in Europe but what is coming to mind is the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. 

4. In this current season of social distancing, what's something you've come to realize you take for granted in more ordinary times? Do you think you'll make a conscious effort to appreciate whatever that 'it' is once normal life resumes?

I'm just going to say anything outside of our home. Visiting Adam, Gabby and James without hugging them. Going to the show! Just a simple run to the store or the post office or lunch with a friend.

I certainly hope I appreciate it but for now I so no end to it for me until we have a vaccine so I try hard not to think about normal at this time. I don't believe I will even be able to bowl in the Fall season this year. 

5. Share a favorite song with a springtime flower in the lyrics somewhere.

I usually have to Google a question like this, nothing ever comes to mind. So I'm going with "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Foundations. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

James was blowing kisses this weekend!

Yes to your view. It is amazing and I don’t think I would ever tire of it. I read about the Disney building a while back and agree it is so interesting. Love that sweet James.

James blows adorable kisses! I never heard of the game Farkle. I am a minimum risk taker but never on a roller coaster lol. I took for granted helping people. I would take shopping carts back for people if I saw they were finished loading their cars. Can't do that any more.

that is one cute litle kiss thrower...love it... I love our trees, and the palms across the street. that concert hall is AMAZING! the Ca Da Zan is the most amazing house I have seen, in Ringling Museum in Sarasota.. never heard of Farkle and a really big NO for being a risk taker

No risk taking here, either. I'm like that old Erma Bombeck quote … not leaving home without a parachute. And these days, I might add swaddled in bubble wrap. Blowing air kisses back to sweet James!

I guess I am not a Big Risk Taker either...I'm not overly cautious either...
Amazing building for me was the Hermitage in Leningrad..now St. Petersburg, Russia.
I probably took for granted just jumping in the car and going shopping and dropping in on friends and family and going to church.
Haven't played Farkle but my Daughter in Law loves it.
Favorite thing about our yard is it's size, privacy and the view of our trees from my patio chair..Love reading out there and watching the birds flit around.
Your Sweet James is so cute. I love his blowing kisses.
Now that my blogger is straightened out I can say I'm one happy camper again.

1. Ever played the game Farkle? Are you a risk taker? In games only or also in life?

No I haven't played that game. A risk taker? Nope.

2. What's your favorite thing about your yard or whatever outdoor space you may have?

Oh that would have to be my deck. At the old place and the newer place. I just love having a screened deck....LILY does too.

3. Tell us about the most interesting building you've seen or been in.

Most interesting bldg...wow, I will have to think on that one.

4. In this current season of social distancing, what's something you've come to realize you take for granted in more ordinary times? Do you think you'll make a conscious effort to appreciate whatever that 'it' is once normal life resumes?

PEOPLE....friends, dinner out with friends. Having someone to talk to beside the furs.


5. Share a favorite song with a springtime flower in the lyrics somewhere.
Wow...these are hard questions...haha. I have just went totally BLANK.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
I am full of random thoughts...Will share one that I had a few mins ago and looked up on the net to read about....there are 260 to 300 diff species of iris. SO random and off the wall but it was a thought that hit me so I had to check it out....

That's sweet to see little James blowing kisses. That's such a fun age!

Cindy said...

I'm not a risk taker either. I think the most interesting building I've seen has been the Library of Congress in Washington DC. The architecture is breathtaking and there are SO many books! My happy place!

Ann said...

Aww, look how cute James is

Michelle said...

James' kisses....how adorable.

I must say I don't think I've seen anything like the Disney concert hall. It's very interesting!

Have a great week. I can't believe how fast these weeks are going, for me. 2020 is zooming by. I am glad because my hubby retires in 2022.

R's Rue said...

Beautiful cutie.

Unknown said...

You guys do have a spectacular view.

I don't mind staying at home most of the time, but I do miss getting together with friends.

Laurel Wood said...

Your view is fabulous! Oh, and James blowing kisses is so adorable. We are weary of staying home and eating our own food! lol
