1. Share one fun thing you did last week, while the Hodgepodge was on 'spring break'. I babysat for my new grandson! That was fun. There's nothing like a little one in your arms to make you realize what life is really all about.
2. April 10th is National Sibling Day...do you have siblings, and if so are you close? Share a favorite story featuring one or all of your siblings. If you don't have siblings, did you ever wish you did? I have a brother and he lives 700 miles away. We do talk a lot on the phone. I have lost two sisters and some of my fondest memories are of us three girls ganging up on my brother. He took it very well. Once we caught him asleep and put makeup all over his face.
3. Is it important to you to 'buy American'? Why or why not? How much of an effort do you make to 'buy American'? If you're not American, insert your own country in the blank. I am American and I do try to buy things manufactured here but it's getting harder and harder to do.
4. Besides The Bible, what book has impacted your spirituality in some way? Drawing a blank here.
5. April showers bring May flowers or so the saying goes. Do you find rainy days calming or depressing? When were you last caught in a rainstorm? What's blooming in your neck of the woods today? I love thunderstorms, It is raining here now but I haven't heard any thunder. Daffodils are blooming! They're my favorites.
6. What's your favorite yellow food? Yellow? Summer squash! Love it in stir frys or battered and fried.
7. April is National Poetry Month...what's a poem that holds special meaning for you, and why is it special?
I've never been "into" poetry" and can't really think of one that I would call special.
8. Insert your own random thought here. It's almost garden season! I called the guy that plows gardens in the town that I live in to make sure he had me on the list! I am soooooo ready - I have it all planned out - I'll have some of those little yellow squashes before you know it!

I like summer squash too. Your garden must be something. I am not good at gardening :(
ReplyDeleteooh, what's summer squash? Is that what we call Butternut squash, or is it something different?
ReplyDeleteNo, not butternut - I like those too. Summer squash is a lot like zucchini but yellow and curved more like a squash.
DeleteThere is nothing like grandchildren. I am from Chicago but live in GA now - where are you in Illinois? sandie
ReplyDeleteso glad you got time with your grandson! I'm sure that was nice : ). I'm behind in reading, and trying to catch up some before Wednesday rolls around again!
