Hodgepodge Wednesday

 1. National Read a Road Map Day falls on April 5th. Would people say you have a good sense of direction? Do you rely on a GPS when you drive somewhere new? When was the last time you used a map? Oh, my goodness, I am the Queen of "Directionally Challenged."  It's just pitiful but thank goodness for the new GPS devices.  I love, love those neat little things.  I have one built in to my vehicle and Hubby has one of the portable ones in his.  I love the way they give such specific directions, no guessing with them.  I've never used a map because I do not know how to read one.  I can't believe I just admitted that. ~giggle~

2. What's your favorite cookbook? 

 The first Junior League cookbook from the Junior League of Monroe, La., "Cotton Country."  It is about 35 years old and has the best recipes and I've been using it since it was written. It has been listed as one of the Top 5 cookbooks in America. Mine has drips, spills and torn pages throughout. It might be time to buy a new one.

3. What painting would you like to "walk into" and experience? Why?

This is Broadwater Bridge by Thomas Kinkade  and I would love to walk across that bridge and see what is on the other side. You know, "curiousity killed the cat."  I love Kinkade's work but it is not something I want in my home.  But, that doesn't keep me from liking it and wondering what's on the other side of this bridge. ~smile~

4. What annoys you more- misspellings or mispronunciations? Oh, me, both bother me if they are obvious, I mean, some are easily overlooked and others are just glaring you in the face.  One name that immediately comes to mind that is so mispronounced is DeBlieux.  It is pronounced W, just plain ole W.  But, most folks pronounce it DeBlue. It is a very common name here in North Louisiana. By the  way, I can certainly see why it is mispronounced. ~smile~

5. What is something your mother or father considered important? Well, since my Dad was a Baptist minister, it was the deep desire of he and my Mom's heart that me and my two brothers love the Lord, accept Him as our Savior and live lives pleasing to Him.  Nothing was as important to them because they knew if He was our #1 priority that everything else would fall into place in our lives.

6. Do you like or dislike schedules?

I LOVE  a schedule and pretty much operate by one everyday of my life.  I find that I am much more productive that way, but there are likely a whole lot of folks that are just as productive who "fly by the seat of their pants."  But, I'll always be a "schedule liking gal."

7. Let's have some fun with National Poetry Month (that would be April)...write your own ending to this poem-

"Roses are Red

Violets are blue..."

Okay, I've spent way to much time pondering this one, so I'll just leave this one to you "poets that didn't know it."

8. Insert your own random thought in this space.

It's these kind of moments that I'm going to miss when Clancy moves in 7 short weeks.  I'm just thankful that I will still have my little Princess to fill that spot in my lap.  I just keep telling myself that it will be alright. ~smile~
