Wednesday Hodge Podge

I 
Hosted by Joyce!   Welcome back, Joyce!!! Click the icon to  return to Joyce's page!

1. Did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in some way?  Not really,  I have been more focused on Spring and Easter!  If so tell us how. Are you a fan of corned beef? Cabbage?   Not too much!  I love my cabbage separate in  soups and  slaw!The color green?  I Love the color green.   It isn't really my color  in fashion,  but for  housekeeping I  wish I had more green!


I should love to paint my cabinets this shade of green, but we recently painted them a lovely color that we both like, but this color resides in my heart!

2. March 22nd is National Goof Off Day...will you celebrate?   I wish I could, but I am hosting a tea party later in the week.   I have a ton to do to get ready  because I  actually have been goofing off a lot   already this week... we have had a houseful of men installing  our new  a/c  system.  So Hubs and I jsut stayed out of the way! Your favorite way to goof off?   Watch  too much tv or  videos  or  mess around on line... I love  genealogy!   Last time you had a whole day to spend 'goofing off'?  I can goof off all day  rather regularly  depending on what you call goofing off. IF I am in my sketching mood or birdwatching  and recording mood,  Hubs calls that goofing of all day!

3. Something on your to-do list that has been there more than a month? Cleaning off the bed in the guest room where I keep all my clothing.   Lynn has to do the laundry and it keeps getting  piled up . I'll put things away and try to  get a head of it, then it piles up again. I can't complain,  but the guest room hasn't looked good all this year! Will this be the month you finally cross it off?   Based on what I jsut said,.  I doubt it/,  but  the kids come in June so  it has to get done  sooner rather than later!!!!!

4. In your opinion, what emotion is the most beneficial?  For me it is anger..  When hubs makes me really angry,.  I  use up all that adrenaline to  really clean up  something like  rearrange  a closet,  etc!!! 

Which one is the least useful?Those mully grubs  can  crash in on me, and I'm not worth killin' for  a day or two!. What was your favorite thing to do as a kid? Elaborate. I was a latch key kid.  My mom worked  outside of the home.. and when I was  about 11, I stopped staying with neighbors across the street. and just tended myself til dad got home.  He  would work flexible hours. As an only child, I would read or  do a lot of day dreaming. In the hot summer  with a/c,  I spent a lot of time out on the large porch, swinging on the glider,  or lying on it reading my Trixie Belden/ Nancy Drew books.  Sometime Id  just day dream about  what I wanted out of life... most of time knowing  those dreams  were pipe dreams, because I was  very shy and introverted. It wasn't until  I was in senior high that I finally  found  myself .,  my personality, and  I actually  could make friends my own age.  I mean as a child and pre-

teen  I played with the little girl across the street who was 6 years younger than myself .  She was my "lil Sister"  and we  entertained each other I guess you'd  say, playing board games  etc.  I taught her how to play make believe  like  playing school,  office, and detective  as we spied around on the neighborhood!  Hahaha!

6. Insert your own random thought here.  Our church has  a  thing called 6 Sisters were  for each  of 6 months of the year  you were assigned 5 ladies who were your sisters and  each one of us took a month to plan an event  to get together.  I picked   March because of Spring and decided to do a spring teal  I have  gotten all the accoutrements out and  sort of staged them on the table.     Here  some photos..  my new Spring tree  decor, and  the table  set up    but everything has to be washed and 

made ready   for  tea day...  below you see   the  dishes for the place
setting  and the centerpiece..   So   all of this needs to  be attended to.
But, first,  the living room will need to be  set aright!  
My menu is planned  and  it is  rather   industrious.
Homemade Blueberry Lemon  scones
Clotted Cream
Tea Cakes 
Meringues 
Mini cheesecakes
   spring time fruit salad
Chicken salad sandwiches on croissants  
English Breakfast tea I purchased in Scotland
  anyway, happy Springtime!!

  1. I need to get our guest room prepared for a visit from our adult kids as well! The guest room is also my "home office" and has been the catch-all spot for boxes and other things as we moved in and got settled, but now we need to finish the process. I love the 6 Sisters idea! I would love to do something like that to get to know some ladies at our church. Enjoy your day and your preparations!

Farewell

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