Wednesday Hodge Podge

From this Side of the Pond

Hosted by Joyce!
1. Five years ago this month hubs and I relocated from New Jersey to the Palmetto State. What were you doing five years ago this month?
              

We were visiting our daughter and  first granddaughter   near Boston.  Lil Birdie would be turning two in just a few weeks  and we were there to celebrate with her!

2. What was the last 9-5 job you worked? Tell us about it.

I never really worked 9-5.  My first real job was working 9-9 at G C Murphy  working the  cash register  over summer and  winter vacation while I was in college!  That job made me glad I'd  never have to  work those hours again!

3. Plead the fifth, high five, take five, it's five o'clock somewhere, or the big 5-0...which number five phrase relates to your life in some way currently? Tell us how.  Well, I sujpppose the first thing I thought of  not 5 but 7.  I  recently turned the great 7-0.  There I said  it and I have nothing else to say!

4. During this season of spending so much time at home, what distractions get in the way of being your most productive? Or have you been extra productive since this whole thing started?

I, like our hostess, definitely need  a bit of pressure to get anything done.  I get into  a  real lazy zone if  I have nothing pushing me.  That is why it is a good thing to  have  someone  coming over to get me motivated to  get  something worthwhile done!    But I am reading Ruth Simons's book and it is not only gorgeous  it  really  brings out the creative in me.  so I have ordered  water color paints and  paper to  let her  painting inspire me to  put some paint on paper and  do it all for the glory of God

An example of Ruth's work following!



 GraceLaced Book - Ruth Chou Simons



5.  Make us a list here of your top five anything.
The Bible, Yuja Wang, Great Britain, Dougie MacLean, Chinese food

6. Insert your own random thought here.

My hubs is testting me.. He has  decided not to go to  Prayer meeting with me tonight  and just stay home and  zoom  it..  If I go it will be first tme I've ventured out alone in the evening  in months... I still  thinking... I'm not sure how I  feel about it yet!

  2. I mentioned Ruth Simmons in my answers today too. She shares so much wisdom in her Instagram feed and I have one of her framed prints in my house too. 'Socializing' in any form these days is nerve wracking. We're all out of practice at being out of the house and being together. Hope you made your meeting!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
