WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #562

Thank you Joyce.

1. What is a childhood habit or preference you will never outgrow? 

I'm thinking it might be paying attention to others and their feelings. My parents were always kind to others.

2. Did you know July is beans month? What's your favorite bean? Your favorite recipe that calls for beans? When it comes to chili are you team beans or team no beans?  

No, I didn't know that. I like black beans. I can't say I have a favorite recipe but when I make chili in the crockpot, which I haven't done in a long time, I use black beans. I like to eat them with brown rice. 

3. Some historical figures have a tag line after their name, something like 'the brave' or 'the wise' or 'the mad'...what would your tag line be? Explain why? 

Kind. I try to put other's feelings before mine. 

4. The way to my heart is thoughtfulness, text messages, photos, hugs and some chocolates! I do like getting cards also. 

5.  The calendar rolls into August this week, but before we go give us four adjectives that describe your July. 

Slow, Sweet, Happy and Sad.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

WAY TO GO TEAM USA

So if you read my Update post, Amber did get Covid from Dylan, so we have not left for Montana yet. I would love to leave on Thursday but not sure that is going to happen so hopefully we can take off on Monday which would be a week from our original date to leave. Your prayers are welcomed.

There are very few people who don't like chocolate. It is a good way to show kindness. 💙

Oh no! I missed your other post about the covid and the delay of your much wanted trip to Montana. I pray your family will recover quickly and that you will soon be on your way. We had Covid for almost a month it seemed, well mostly that was the aftermath of great exhaustion that we couldn't shake, but we are much better now and so thankful. Praying for your family and your trip. (((hugs)))

Joyce said...

Hoping your trip happens next week! I still love cards too, both giving and receiving. I know because of the cost so many have given up on sending cards, which in a way makes the ones you get feel more special. Have a great day!

I hope everyone is well soon!

I am a card sender! and like to get them also.

Martha Jane Orlando said...

I try to be kind to others and myself every day, Debby. I will pray that your trip happens and that you have an amazing time.
Blessings!

Cathy said...

Praying and I hope you get to go soon!

Pamela said...

Great answers! Praying you can take off to Montana on the new schedule.

So sorry to hear that Amber got covid too. Praying you will finally get to Montana.
I agree with the term Kindness. I strive to be that way too.
I really like beans of all kinds and enjoy chili with beans.
I think my word would be empathetic.
My heart gets all mushy when I see and can play with a chubby cheeked baby. I do love being with my family and an ice cream sundae is definitely the way to my heart and waistline..
Hot, sticky, stressful and absolutely grateful.
God is good and we are learning to lean and trust more and more each day.

I see so little thoughtfulness and empathy these days -- I'm happy to know you embody those traits!
I used to love spending time in the Hallmark store, trying to choose exactly the right greeting card. Nowadays, however, I can't remember the last time I bought one that wasn't obligatory. Sad.

PS - Prayers that Amber and Dylan recover soon!

Debby said...

You have good traits, Debby. and yes, we learn many things from our parents. Sounds like you had wonderful parents who taught you the things that matter, to be a good, kind person. Enjoyed your answers

CheerfulMonk said...

Yes, plenty of prayers and love, Deb. You are one of the kindest, sweetest persons I know. I am grateful for having you in my life. ❤️

Ann said...

As I was reading these I couldn't come up with an answer for any of them. You did good with yours.

MadSnapper said...

sorry Amber caught the Covid again. Hope you get to go on Monday. my mother was kind, daddy not so much. the word Mad comes before my name, I don't have one for after ha ha
my word for July was fast forward like lightning and unbelievable stormy weather..

Chatty Crone said...

How sweet to remember how nice your parents were to others - and Debby you are the same way. You are very kind and thoughtful - and I know people love you back.
Don't get Covid - not worth it in your case - I hope that Amber gets over it sooner than later - did they get it bad?
Love beans and rice.
Love, sandie
