Thank you Joyce.

1. Mayday! Mayday!...when was the last time (or a recent time) you literally or figuratively needed to call for help? Elaborate. 

Yesterday morning our power went out and I called out to Mark but that wasn't a big deal. At the moment nothing else is coming to mind. 

2. May Day...when was the last time you danced? Do you have a lot of baskets? What's something you keep in a basket? What's your favorite purple flower? 

I can't remember the last time I danced. Probably at Adam and Gabby's wedding almost 7 years ago. I may have done some silly dancing with James since then. 

Yes, I have baskets in the house. I have large pine cones in them. 

Probably an African Violet. 

3. What's something you may do this month?

Well I have physical therapy each week for my back. I'm sure that we will see Adam, Gabby and James a few times. I have 3 more weeks of bowling counting today and we are going out to lunch afterwards. 

We are going out to dinner for Mother's Day. Adam and Gabby tried a new place and they made a reservation there for Mother's Day. We are also driving to San Diego one day to visit with Mark's brother and his wife. They live in Houston and are going to spend a few days there so we will meet up with them. 

4. Do you like eggplant? Quick topic changes lol? If you said yes in answer to the eggplant question how do you like yours prepared? Of the following purple foods, which one is your favorite...plums, purple carrots, purple asparagus, eggplant, acai berries, blackberries, purple cauliflower, elderberries, purple potatoes, or passion fruit? 

I really don't eat eggplant. I do like plums and blackberries. I do eat a few of the others but not in the purple color except I have had a purple carrot. 

5. The calendar turns on Hodgepodge Day...

"Then you have to remember to be thankful; but in May one simply can't help being thankful that they are alive, if for nothing else."-L.M. Montgomery

Tell us one thing you're thankful for today. 

I'm thankful for my family. I love them all so much.

Sounds like some fun family plans in May. I really enjoyed San Diego when we were there over a year ago now. Plus they win the prize for best weather lol. Your James is a cutie and looking so grown up. It goes fast, doesn't it? Have a great day Debby!

I can totally see myself making an exception to dancing if it was with small children.

Have a joyous month of May with your family, Debby!
Blessings!

Mayday! Mayday!...when was the last time (or a recent time) you literally or figuratively needed to call for help? Elaborate.

Only yesterday, due to uncontrollable shaking in my legs, I came close to falling a few times.

May Day...when was the last time you danced? Do you have a lot of baskets? What's something you keep in a basket? What's your favourite purple flower?

Only yesterday I did a little dance with Sam. No only one basket, which has nothing in it at this time. Would have to be lavender.

What's something you may do this month?
Nothing just another month

Do you like eggplant? Quick topic changes lol? If you said yes in answer to the eggplant question how do you like yours prepared?

Never had eggplant.

Tell us one thing you're thankful for today.
The love and support of my family

Remember you are who you are, changing to make someone else happy will only make you sad.

And you have a lovely family! I do goofy dancing with my black lab. She loves it. It means play time!

What delightful plans you have for the month!
The 'Eye in the Box' is such a hoot; I love James' imagination!

How nice to meet up with family in San Diego instead of having to haul all the way to Houston. Hope you have a nice drive down. Happy May to you!

CheerfulMonk said...

Yes, hurray for family! I hope you have a nice visit in San Diego, and I'm glad you live close to Adam and Gabby and James. ❤️

What a nice picture of your husband and James. Isn't he cute peaking out of that box.

Cathy said...

I don't dance, but the last time I did it was with my grandson on my daughter's wedding. Hope you have fun being with your family this month.

Chatty Crone said...

Awe - love the photos there.
So you have been able to bowl and have three weeks left - I know you love that.
Did you do the May Pole Dance in school? We did.
I don't dance anymore either.
Hope your physical therapy is helping!

Oh African violets are so pretty! I forgot all about those purple flowers. They remind me of my mom and her friends - seemed like they all had a couple of African violets in their homes. Sorry I'm late - catching up on last week's before I start on this week's hodgepodge!
