WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #577

Thank you Joyce.

1. What's something you think is under appreciated. Explain. 

I'm drawing a blank here. Looking forward to seeing everyone's answers.  

2. As winter approaches how do you stay productive? 

Well for now it is all about Christmas and I have a lot to do. I mail out Christmas cards and then out of town gifts which are usually checks but it's a lot of work. 

I also include a Christmas dish towel each year so they are mailed in padded envelopes. Thankfully the majority of them go to my sister's house.

Then of course the tree and decorations are next. 

Of course we generally have nice weather. I've actually been pushing myself to accomplish something each day so I will continue doing that. 

3. What's a popular food you don't like? 

I'll go with Sushi. I'm not a big fan of BBQ either. 

4. What do you think is more interesting-art or history? Elaborate. 

I'm not sure I can elaborate but I am going with art. 

5. What advice would you give to someone half your age?

Take care of your health and make sure you exercise.  

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

James with his award from soccer.

Today of course is Wednesday and Mark & I are on our way to see James at his school. It's bring a loved one to lunch day. He doesn't know we are coming. Gabby is going with us. 

Also, there are 5 things they recently tested for in his kindergarten class and you need pass 5 things. James passed them all and went from level 2 to level 3. So proud of him.

I drew a blank on the first one also, I am glad to hear you are starting your Christmas, right on time. I almost put my little tree in the nook yesterday but got so frustrated removing the lights to put new ones on, I sat the naked tree back in the closet... seems I am easily aggravated when it comes to decorating.

Congratulations, James! I'd love to see the look on his face when y'all arrive for lunch.
I'm not a fan of sushi either ... eeeew.

How fun to surprise him at school! I can't wait to have some of my grands closer to enjoy these small but significant events. Hope you have a great day Debby!

Have a great rest of the week Debby!

Keeping busy is the key! Glad you are getting the decorations done - some people are done already.
I love BBQ, but I agree about the sushi. YUCK!
James is so proud of his award. Great job at school. And have fun eating lunch with him. Hey, my blog on Tuesday is about advice - remember health and exercise - good one.

You should be so proud of James, Debby. Have fun with him today!

How wonderful that y'all are going to surprise James at lunch!! I love BBQ but agree with you on not eating Sushi. My family loves it, but I don't.

I probably need to get off my "duff" and just get busy cleaning our house and start thinking about Christmas decorations. The computer is just too addicting sometimes.
Not fond of brussel sprouts but will eat them. I guess Liver is my not going to eat food. UGH
James is so cute. I know he is going to be thrilled and surprised to have you eat lunch with him. I hope you can take a pix or 2.

I don't think I could answer any of these today.
James is such a cutie.

No sushi for me! I'm so glad you can see James so often. ❤️

Kym said...

Oh I won't eat sushi either, but I DO love me some BBQ. James is so cute! Hope you're having a great week!

Susan said...

James looks so happy with his award! Congratulations! I am starting to decorate for Christmas now. I am going slowly. I will have my finger in a splint for 2 more weeks. I am not going to go all out like I usually do. We are going on a cruise on January 4th and I don't want to come back to do a lot. I am going to pass out ornaments on Thanksgiving. Have fun decorating!

I'm sure you enjoyed your time at James' school and that he was happy to see you, too. Happy Hodgepodge to you!

Jennifer said...

Definitely not a sushi fan here. Hope you had a fun time with James at school!!

I liked your answers! I like both sushi and bbq. I used to actually make my own sushi but I haven't in quite awhile. James looks like he is one happy guy with his award. I hope he enjoyed the surprise visit at his school!

This is a test to see if the no reply works. Let me know if it comes in and if it has my email address.
