WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE

FYI: Before we start Joyce's Wednesday Hodgepodge I want to say that with working between Bloglovin' and Feedly, both which say that they transfer over your blogs, I have run into some issues. About 10 of my favorites, that I know of so far, didn't get transferred to Bloglovin' where as they did transfer to Feedly.  Also I had a few posts from people I am following in Bloglovin' that haven't showed up yet on Bloglovin' yet these posts were on Feedly Monday.  I'm not sure I can trust Bloglovin' even though I like the way it works. Hopefully these issues will get shorted out soon! 

Hodgepodge will be on spring break next week

 and will return on Wednesday, April 10th.  

1. What are your plans for Easter? Are you cooking a big lunch or dinner?  Dyeing eggs? Attending a sun rise service?  Eating too much chocolate?

I know I won't be eating too much chocolate! At this point and time we have no plans. Adam & Tristen are going to be with her family this year. Amber and Dylan on going away for a much needed vacation to Northern California. Details to our day are still being discussed. 

2.  What is something you feel too young to do?

I feel too young to live in a nursing home.

3.  "Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud...it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs..."  Of the characteristics mentioned in the Biblical definition of love which do you find most difficult to live out and why?

Probably "it is not easily angered" because frankly I do get easily angered!

4. What's a springtime flower you associate with your childhood?
I associate Forsythia and Lilac bushes with my childhood. We don't see them here in Southern California.

5.  Ever sung karaoke? If so, what's your go-to song? If not and you're given the opportunity, would you? 

I have never sang karaoke but I do believe I would give it a try if the opportunity came up. Not sure what song I would sing but would like to be in a group song. 

6. What is something you keep in a basket?

I have a lovely laundry basket that belonged to my husbands Nana who was born in 1900. I keep our afghans in it in our family room.

7.  When was the last time you felt foolish?

I can't remember a recent time but I can tell you one from about 38 years ago. We had a family couple over at our townhouse in Illinois. We were only married a few years at the time. I, who can be quick to anger, was mad about something. My husband walked them out to their car when they were leaving. I heard the door open and started yelling at my husband about whatever it was I was mad about. Well it wasn't my husband, it was the family member coming back in because he forgot something.  I was taught a pretty good lesson at the time.....make sure you know who you are yelling at!

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

Did you watch "Call the Midwife" on PBS last season. Well it's back this Sunday with Season 2 at 8:00 pm. I can't wait to see it! Actually if you haven't seen it you should give it a try. They will be showing Season 1 starting at 1:00 pm on Sunday if you want to get up to date. If you like Downton Abbey this show will show you another side of living in Europe/London East Side in the 1950's. Also you can watch full episodes here on your computer at PBS.
