1. What happens to the mail at your house?
It starts out on my desk and then ends up on hub's desk and he deals with it!
2. Something you always splurge on? Any guilt associated with the splurge?
I love magazines at the market... For example, I had to pick up the Victoria Bliss edition today...next time it will be Southern Lady or Tea Time... I have a shelf full of them for many years, back but they give me such a refreshingly fun time perusing the articles.
3. There are many, but what are two important questions you think every bride and groom should ask/answer before they plan their walk down the aisle?
To especially talk about their goals for the next 5, 10, 20, 30 years.
And decide how they feel about family, children, child rearing. etc.
4. What's the best advice your father ever gave you?
Live peacefully with your fellow man and do not hold a grudge with anyone. Dad was such a sweetheart and a very gentle-man!
5. Your favorite movie where a father features heavily in the storyline?
Father of the Bride 1950... the year I was born!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
My dad passed in 2013... Time goes by so quickly... His birthday is coming up... He would have been 99 ... My mom passed the next year.. She was 91 at that time... and they both were having a hard time but they had a great spirit to live within... I think they were so wanting to see my granddaughter grow up a bit.. She was only 1 when dad passed , and poor mom was so frail and incongruent that she barely understood who sweetie pie was... Long life is a blessing, up to a point... I wouldn't want to life past that point. But I do understand wanting to be around to see the next generation grow and mature! God bless Moms and Dads everywhere!
Good morning. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the hodgepodge today. What great advice you received from your dear dad. My mother died in 2013 and my dear old pop wishes he could go to be with his Lord. He is weary at 95. Hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, Ellen, it is so difficult to watch our parents decline and become so lethargic... It about tore me apart. My mom went from 175 pounds to 70.She simply refused to eat. MY heart goes out to you!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Hodgepodge. It's nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Victoria magazine is something I always enjoy too. So feminine and pretty.
I do still have both my parents, and they are pretty young yet (81 and 78) and in good health. My mother-in-law (who I was very close to) just passed last month. She had been in declining health for several months, but in May, she deteriorated seemingly by the minute. She was weary and ready to go be with the Lord.
Blessings,
