Wednesday Hodge Podge


From this Side of the Pond
        Hosted by Joyce!

1. Is March coming in like a lion where you live? Aslan, Simba, Elsa, The Cowardly Lion...your favorite 'famous' lion? Of course, my favorite lion is Aslan... I  absolutely love the tales of Narnia!Our son-in-law is reading it to our granddaughters  and are  into the Dawn Treader now.  He has to stop regularly and give  some    explanation   to those 5 and 7 year olds but the girls are  loving it and it brings up a lot of  in depth  serious questions  about life to them...I hink  our March is coming in like Aslan  with a roar of wind... all up and down the east  coast.  "R:::O:::A:::R!!!"  

2. In what way do you 'march to the beat of your own drum'? I have pretty strong opinions in my  old age...  I do not think Im known for being the least bit wishy-washy in my outlook  and sometimes I know I have to rein myself in...    That is the drum, I suppose, I march to..   In that I am much like my mother, and  as a teen, I  had a very decided  dislike for the trait!

3. What item that you don't have already, would you most like to own? Any chance of that happening soon? I have been wanting  a recumbent bike ever since I stopped my knee  therapy last spring. Covid had stopped the manufacturing of them.. I  want a Schwinn ... and they are   becoming available now.  It is  now  sort of low on the list but I do need one for my knees!


4. March is National Flour Month...are you a baker? Cookies-cakes-or pies...your favorite sweet treat to bake? What's the last non-sweet thing you made that called for flour?  I do have a sweet tooth for baked goods.  I love to make scones,  and cookies  best..  I am not a pastry  chef at all.   I  love to make  quiches of various kinds.





5. There are 31 days in the month of March...where were you and what were you doing when you were 31? If you haven't hit that milestone yet, then tell us where you were and what you were doing 31 months ago? (if math is not your thing, that would be August 3, 2018)

At age 31 I had been teaching  third grade for 8 years.  I was becoming anxious to  start a family, but  we knew we would have to adopt, so ou r application was in for a  local adoption, The  time frame was becoming so long  we  were  checking out other options.  When I was 32  we  made the decision to go for foreign adoption  from Korea!  15 months later  we were parents.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 




This will be our view  in a few weeks.. I am really looking forward to  getting there~~  BtW! I got my covid shot today  #1.

  4. We love the Narnia series at our house, too. Can hardly wait to be able to read them to our grands. I have several sets ready to gift, too. Hope you can get that bike soon. I am coming over for some scones and quiche!! Congrats on your adoption. Enjoy your time at the shore...I'm sure you will.

  5. We are great Narnia fans! In 2008 I visited Lewis's home and saw 'the cupboard' (maybe)!
    Oh those spring pictures in your header! Love them. And the scones--yum!

Farewell

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