Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 


1. What's the best and worst thing thing about growing older? The best thing is becoming a grandmother! The worst would be looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself. Truth is, I know I'm 53 but I still feel like I should be 30!

2.   Autumn arrives this week in the Northern Hemisphere...what one thing do you love most about the fall season? I love the colors and the cooler temps. It's nice to not need the heat or the air!

3.  Speaking of fall...pumpkin seems to be flavoring everything these days-are you a fan?   What's your favorite pumpkin flavored food or beverage? Pumpkin bread would be my favorite.

4.  Since we're on the subject of fall...what's the worst fall you've ever taken? I've never had a bad fall. I fell off of a stepladder when I was pregnant with my daughter and it scared me half to death but didn't hurt anything.

5.  If you could own a prop from any film what would you choose? How about the plantation house from Gone With the Wind!

6. What's the most interesting word you've read or learned in the past week? I can't think of a word that I have learned recently.

7. When was the last time you locked yourself out of your house, car, or office?  Was it a big deal? I used to lock myself out of the house when I lived in the country but it was no big deal - I knew how to break in. Biz locked himself out of his truck and I broke into it for him. Must be a knack I have. Is that bad?
8.  Insert your own random thought here. For anyone who doesn't know - I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA AGAIN!!!!!! Daughter gave me the news last Friday. I'm so excited for her. She's been trying to get pregnant forever. In fact, she was extremely upset when her brother told us they were expecting. It was a really hard time. I was so happy for them but so sorry for her.

  5. congratulations to you & your daughter! We were married about 6 years before our 1st child ... and in retrospect, God's timing was perfect! Every baby is precious but sometimes the one you've waited a long time for is even more so.

  6. How exciting to know your daughter is pregnant, and I pray she has a safe, and wonderful nine months! I'm a bit older than you but still waiting for my daughters to marry & start families... I will love being a grandmother, someday.

  7. Congratulations on becoming a Grandma again.
    As for the knack for breaking in to a vehicle, I was at a restaurant once and a lady had locked her keys in her car with it running. Her window was down just a tiny bit and I was able to slide my arm in and hit the unlock button. It left an imprint on my arm it was so tight, but I did it. I have also helped get cars unlocked using a wire hanger a time or two.
