WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #471

Thank you Joyce.

1. According to author Gary Chapman there are five love languages-words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. Which one is yours? 

Is this what I want or what I give out? I'm going with words of affirmation if it's me giving it to someone else. If it is someone giving it to me then I am going with physical touch but basically from Mark.

2. What are five foods you eat every day?

Cheese stick, protein bar, fruit, nuts and one piece of See's dark chocolate balls.

3. Five places you'd love to visit?

I'd love to go back to England and France. I haven't been to Hawaii yet so that would be one place. I would love to go to Washington DC for all the museums and monuments. I'd like to go back to Mt. Rushmore and also an all inclusive resort in Cancun.

4. Something you've done recently that deserved a 'high five'?

Honestly, I'm going to go with my random answer on driving the BIG car for 3 hours. 

5.  Give us five 5-letter words that describe your July. 

Anxiety, doctor's appointments, new medications!!!

6. Insert your own random thought here.  

We made it to Amber and Dylan's in Great Falls, MT on Monday. The second day long drive was not easy but it did work with my lungs. Just a drop in my oxygen level at rest areas. Back to normal in the car. 

I drove for 3 hours of the 13 hour day. This may not be a big deal to any of you but you have to understand that I have driven Mini Coopers for 19 years now. Mark's SUV has been something that I avoid. I never use it. I've had to drive it maybe 2 times before. I did very well and the area that I drove in was open road and very few cars or trucks on it through Idaho.

Cheese,french bread, applesauce,gluten free elbows, peanut butter and marmalade, all due to Ibs.

So glad you made it to Montana safe and sound, Debby! Good for you too with the driving! I know how difficult it is to drive a car you are less familiar with and different from the car you usually drive. Glad it was on a stretch of road that was "relatively easy". Sorry July was filled with anxiety, new medications, doctor's appts, etc. Let's hope August is kinder! Such a lovely view from where Adam and Gabby got married. I think it would be fun to go to a resort like that at least once in one's life. Good for you too that you can only have one piece of See's candy a day. An open box is an empty box in this household! Enjoy your time with Amber and Dylan!

Good for you, Debby! I feel the same way anytime I have to drive Tom's truck.
The food stuffs I consume every day are: Meat (beef/chicken/pork), eggs, cheese, nuts and peanut butter -- provided I cave and actually buy it.

Joyce said...

My hubs also has a big vehicle/truck that I do not like to drive. Especially at night! Good for you for doing the drive though and I'm glad your lungs did well too. Enjoy your visit!

Chatty Crone said...

I am so glad you are there and it pretty much worked out with your lungs and driving!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful time.
The love languages - what type you are - you do to others - and that is the type you would like back - to feel loved. Problem is they may give another type out and you don't recognize it.
Does that make sense?

1. Affirmation goes a long ways with me..giving and receiving
2. eggs and mushrooms for breakfast, coffee, a tiny bit of fruit and meat at dinner time.
3. Love to go back to Hawaii, The Alps, return to Kenya, visit our kids again in Oregon...to go...just GO !!!
4.Worked out in the yard while recovering from Covid
5. Sick, Sick, Cough, exhaustion, ALIVE again
6. What a month, glad to be back among the living and to begin August fresh.

**standing up & clapping** Good for you, Debby, in driving the 13 hours in an SUV of all things. Woot-woot!! I bow deep to you, my dear. I know exactly what a big deal that would be and I could never do it. You are amazing!!!!!!

Those 5 words that describe your July... :-( Gentle hugs to you, dear soul!

It sounds like you had a bit of a journey but that you made it to your destination nicely!! Have fun!

Ann said...

good for you taking a turn at the wheel. I never like driving a vehicle I'm not familiar with on roads that I'm also not familiar with.

Mary said...

I'm the same way when I have to drive CH's truck. I'm so used to my little Kia Soul!

ellen b. said...

Well done and way to go, Debby, in driving that SUV for those hours! Glad the trip went well for you! Now I'm craving a piece of See's candy!

bp said...

Hello! Good job on the driving SUV. I rarely drive in other cities. It makes me so nervous.

We did go to DC and didn't spend much time at the museums, I would like to go back to those.

Have a good week!

I enjoyed your answers. Nice on driving the "big" car. I love driving SUV's over cars, but prefer midsize to larger ones.

What a fun posts! I loved your answers. I have always wanted to go to England. Maybe one day!
