One of my fun blogging joys was joining along with Joyce at From This Side of the Pond on her Wednesday party called Wednesday Hodge Podge.. when she retired that posting this year Your Friend from Florida stepped up and created another similar meme... all are invited, so let's play!!
1. Wednesday, December 19, 2018, is National Hard Candy Day! So the first question today is to ask if you enjoy hard candy, especially the kind we usually see during this festive time of year? I would have to say I'm not much on hard candies,, but I do like peppermint with soft centers like
What is your favorite? I never turned down a nibble of chocolate filled straws!
Which hard candy brings up the best memories of Christmas for you, if any? My dear Aunt Janice was a home Economics teacher and she always had the most fun and exciting food and treats... I loved her homemade hard candy!!She'd give each grandchild a bag of our very own so there would be no fighting over the candy dish!!!
2. Holiday shopping! Are you finished? yes, indeed. If you could spend an entire day in just one store, which one would it be and why? I can't think of one in recent history, but back in the 60's when my mother worked in the downtown Miller and Rhoades
I would have to share that... I'd ride the bus to town and spend the day perusing all 4 floors enjoying the gentile ambience of a fine department store...
At lunch my mother and I would enjoy lunch in the 4th floor Tea Room!
3. What holiday dessert describes you and why?
HAHAHA... hate to admit this... in a way...but it was the first thing that popped into my mind... I loved my mother's Pecan Tassies... They are sweet and really nutty... that does sound a lot like me!!!
4. What is your least favorite holiday side dish?
I know I'll get some flack about this one... but I cannot abide Green Bean Casserole...
I only ever picked the fried onions off the top of it! My daughter on the other hand loves it best!
5. Now be real!! There is one on almost every tree. What is the ugliest tree ornament you have ever seen? Well, I cheated and looked it up and the worst one by far was this one
6. Tell us something random about your week!!
I am very excited about tomorrow when I go to my dear friend Dottie's home along withbest friends, Lynne and Judy.. We are Prayer Sistas and we are meeting for brunch and to exchange gifts and discuss prayer initiatives for the new year and ,of course, to pray...Anytime we get together is a joy, but it is especially fun at Christmas!
Thanks for joining the Medley today!! I really enjoyed your answers and those old multi-flood department stores with the tea rooms were just THE BEST weren't they!! We got dressed up to go shopping back in the day. It was special. Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI can do without green bean casserole too. Loved your answers! Have a great week. Merry Christmas!
