Wednesday Hodge Podge


From this Side of the Pond
Hosted by Joyce!


1. It's fall y'all. What's something you love about this season and also
 something you don't?   I love the  cooler days,   the crisp, mornings  when
  it's  prudent to turn on the fireplace and  sit  and  read  that next chapter..
  I actually started my new book yesterday... I can't think of anything I 
dont like about fall.  It is all  my favorite time of year!

2. When you think of the colors of fall, which one is your favorite? Is 
there somewhere you could easily day trip to see the leaves in all their
 glory? Will you? 
To me  you have to have the mix to  really   complet the  fall  beauty.  I Love the  bright reds,  the  sunny yellows as well as the russets

We live  right beside the Blue Ridge Parkway so  we usually do  drive   it in fall.  We like to drive up to  Peaks of Otter .. That section is exceptional!

3. What's one thing you've let 'fall' by the wayside during this season 
of staying home and staying away? 
Well, actually  not that I let it fall,  but  I just havent felt like reading.
I pick up a book and try to read, but havent been about to concentrate.
Yesterday I started a new book and  I suppose since it is fall, I could read
 it gleefully!

4. If you're wearing a sweater is it most likely a cardigan, crew neck, 
v-neck, or zip up hoodie? 
Today it is a cardigan.  Also, I have bought a couple of those duster sweaters
.. I really like them!

5. What's your secret to dealing with change? 
God taught me  20 years ago during a very difficult time..  give the trouble  to him and  just go with the flow.. Staying close to HIm  with prayer,  Bible reading,  and praise  keeps me  flowing along, always in the right direction!      

6.  Insert your own random thought here.
Yesterday Hubs found out he has a detached retina! It took us by surprise.  It has really upset our week..  No yard sale for him  which  means  we are down a vital man... for  helping move,   haul stuff away to the rescue Mission,  etc.. He really doesnt want me  driving his truck. I can, but not well,, it is  a stick shift, especially  with a  truck load of stuff.  and He woont even be able to go  because he will have to  hold his head downward  for a few days..  He sure does dread it..  Our prayer is that during these two days  his vision would n't be affected.  I wish the surgery was today!  Please lift up a prayer for him!

  1. Oh wow! Living so close to the Blue Ridge Parkway! That would be amazing!
    I hope all goes well with your husband's eye surgery.

  2. Another Fall lover and what a blessing to live near one of the most scenic spots in the country. We will driving through parts of North and South Carolina in mid October. Will there be color at that time? What a great lesson to have learned at an early age - to trust and "LET GOD!" Trusting her husband's eye issue gets better really soon.

  3. You live in a beautiful park of the country for fall foliage. Prayers for your husband's surgery and a speedy recovery.

Farewell

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