Thank you Joyce.

1. February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read a fairy tale lately? What's your favorite fairy tale? Do you believe in 'happily ever after'? 

I have not read a fairy tale lately. I looked at a list and I can't decide between "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty."  

2. Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently-

  • Once upon a time Amber, Dylan, Adam, Gabby, & James, along with Mark and I, all lived in the same state.
  • A long time ago________________
  • In a place far far away__________

3. Which of the following 'fairy tale foods' is your favorite? Which have you made/eaten most recently? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland) 

I haven't made or eaten any lately. I would have to say pumpkin pie is my favorite. 

4. What's your idea of fun? 

Do you even have to ask......I have two and they are both equally important to me. 

Hanging with Adam, Gabby and James

Hanging with Amber and Dylan

Of course going to some special event, like a wedding, would be fun and I have always enjoyed the "Tilt a Whirl" ride. 

5. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. 

Dinners - Eat - Honest

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Google memories sent this to me.
Isn't it adorable!



This is from school. James wrote about his father. He is in kindergarten. Only 12 kids from his grade school were picked, and he was the only one from his class, to attend a special little party and read theirs in front of everyone. The parents were invited and they had some snacks for everyone. 

"My dad is so fun. My dad is nice."

the last photo of James and the drawing of his dad melted my heart on the floor. so precious and smart. my idea of fun is taking a DSLR camera for a walk in the woods, especially Emerson Point here where we live.
bread is always my favorite food.. I loved my fairy tale book, I had two and read each many times over and over. Cinderella was the one I loved because I related to it... Rapunzel was my 2nd,

"Do you believe in 'happily ever after'?"

I do.

Oh my, look how adorable James is in that picture. He sure has grown since then. That is so sweet what he wrote about his dad.

I remember James that little and that note he wrote about his dad - they better keep that forever. You are like me - we love our kids so much. They are so important to us. And last but not least, I love pumpkin pie too!

That google memory... goodness me... James is growing up so fast. Thank you for sharing him with us.
I like Sleeping Beauty too... I had a toss up with Beauty and the Beast, I decided on Beauty and the Beast.
