Hodgepodge Wednesday



It's Wednesday and time for Hodgepodge with Joyce.  And, I want to tell Joyce how much I appreciate her posting the questions a whole day ahead of time.  It allows us plenty of time to get our entry ready and since I usually prepare my entries in the afternoons or evenings, it works very well with me. Thanks Joyce!


1. Have you ever been to the US capital-Washington DC? If so, what's your favorite site? Yes, I have been to DC, two or three times and there's so many favorites, but one would have to be the Smithsonian Museums. So, so much to see and do in them that it's hard to describe. 

2. When did you last attend a wedding? Are there any weddings on your summer calendar? Were you a summer bride? This is pitiful but I cannot remember the last wedding I attended but I assure you, I have attended more than my share.  I will be attending one on the 11th of June and then I don't think I have another one until September.  Yes, Hubby and I were married on June 6th, 40 years ago.  Stay tuned for a most fun post about that.

3. What is your favorite way to eat strawberries? 



Believe it or not, I am not crazy about strawberries, but if I do eat them, I want them neatly sliced or whole.  I DO NOT want them "mushed up."  Yuck!

4. What is one thing you are especially looking forward to this summer?  Hubby and I will be boarding a Holland America cruise liner for a cruise, July 16th - 28th  from Montreal to Boston to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary .


5. Do you use/like the self checker at the grocery store?I usually have to use the self check out because that's all that is available and I resent that.  I wouldn't mind the self check out if it did not constantly tell me that I have not bagged my items when I have indeed bagged my items.  Talk about aggravation!  It comes close to making my  "panties get in a wad. "  ~chuckle~

6. Share a favorite piece of common sense advice.  "When in doubt, don't. "  This has proven to be a great piece of advice throughout my life, not that I have always heeded it, but I should have. ~wink~

7. Barefoot, flip flops, tennis shoes, sassy sandals-your first choice for summertime?  Oh, it would be a toss up between flip flops and sassy sandals.  I love them both and pretty much, that's all I wear in the summer.  
8. Insert your own random thought here. My sweet Dad was hospitalized again this past Monday with a recurrence of the C-Diff that he was hospitalized with 3 weeks ago.  My dear friends if you are not familiar with this condition, you need to click on the link and be informed.  It is very scary and is becoming more and more prevalent.  My Dad's was caused by antibiotics that he took for something else.  He is doing better, but will be a while completely recovering after this second bout.  I would appreciate your prayers for his recovery. He is scheduled to get out of the hospital tomorrow.

  1. The picture you inserted of the strawberries is a gorgeous photo ... they look good enough to eat right there on the screen!

    A cruise from Montreal to Boston? That sounds fantastic ... sounds like something to investigate for DH & me!

    Praying for your dad ... hopefully he'll be released tomorrow and get past this once and for all.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  5. Oh no!!! I am so sorry that your sweet Daddy is having to deal with that. I'm happy to hear that he's heading home, though! I will be praying for him.

    That's such a great quote. I need to put that in big bold font and post it somewhere where I can see it frequently. Good advice :)

    Hugs!!

  7. Will be praying your your dad. That sounds like some pretty nasty stuff.

  8. I would love to go to the Smithsonian. I was a June wedding.
    6/24/72 Your cruise sounds wonderful. Have a great time. Your right, they have very few checkers and make you use them. Of course someone is also out of a job! I am barefoot around the house. So sorry about your dad, I will keep him in my prayers.
