Happy Wednesday! Today I’m joining in for the Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce.
1. Marilyn texted me something that inspired this question, so thank you Marilyn! Of the following sayings, typically associated with the (American) southern way of speaking, which do you most relate to right now? Explain.
Bless your heart~too big for yer britches~ madder than a wet hen~you’re preachin’ to the choir~knee high to a grasshopper~oh my stars
Um…I can’t say I’ve ever said any of these, except maybe preaching to the choir. I’m not sure I relate to any of them right now either!
2. The Hodgepodge lands on (US) Veterans Day this year. Are you a veteran? Have a family member who’s a veteran? If you answered yes, tell us something about them. Will you do anything to mark the day in some special way?
My grandfather was a veteran, but I’m not sure what he did as part of the armed forces. I know that he served because I have my grandparents’ wedding photo and he is wearing his uniform in it.
3. Is breakfast for dinner a stroke of genius or a sign of total household collapse? Is breakfast for dinner a regular thing at your house? Are all family members on board?
We usually will have eggs for dinner about once a week. My kids aren’t actually fans!
4. How do you see the world?
I see the world through a somewhat pessimistic view, though I want to be more hopeful.
5. And this week’s gratitude question-what’s something about your surroundings (home, neighborhood, city) you’re grateful for?
I appreciate my house and my neighborhood a lot! I am thankful that we live close to friends and that Simon can easily walk to his good friends’ houses.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Last week, Simon placed 8th overall in Debate. His teacher sent these cute pictures of him (the debates are done over Zoom).
Tell me your answer to any of these!
