Wednesday Hodgepodge

It's Wednesday, that means Joyce has come up with some more great, thought provoking questions for us.  I hope you enjoy!

1. Picture postcards were first printed back in the mid-1800's and deltiology is the official name for postcard collecting. When did you last send a postcard?  Receive one? Do you save postcards sent to you? Do you collect and/or send postcards when you travel?

This was referred to as a Saucy Postcard.  How funny!

I cannot remember the last time I sent a postcard but I'm sure it has been years and years and I think the same holds true for having received one.  And, no I do not save or collect postcards.  Guess I'm a real "Scrooge" when it comes to postcards. ~laugh~

2. What treat do you most like to indulge in while on vacation?

Oh, I love to eat breakfast and I never truly eat breakfast at home.  I grab 4-5 vanilla wafers with crunchy peanut butter and "call it good" at home.  But, my soul really wants bacon, eggs (scrambled only) and all the trimmings.  So, that is something I do look forward to and treat myself to when we are traveling.

3. Are you good at hiding your feelings?
Unless you are a very close friend of mine, I am.  Those that are closest to me usually know when all is not right in my world.  But, as most of us can, I can "put my face on" and go about my business and the majority will not know.

4. Does your town/city/county still deliver telephone books to your home? Do you check the yellow pages when searching for a local business number or has the internet replaced the phone book in your home?
Yes, we get new phone books in the mail but I rarely use one.  I love the White Pages and Yellow Pages apps and use them most of the time.

5. Would you rather be first or last?
Hummm.......it all depends on what it is.  If I am alive when the good Lord returns, then I definitely want one to be one of the first he receives. And, can think of some less important things I wouldn't mind being first in either.  As to last, well there's a lot of things I would want to be last in too.

6. July is National Park and Recreation Month (in America, but everyone can still play along)...where and when were you last in a park?  Did you participate in any recreational activities while you were there?
We live within 10 miles of a very lovely state park and I cannot remember the last time I have been there or any other park.  Shame on me and guess I need to get to work on changing that.

7.  What was one of your worst ideas?
When our daughter started 1st grade I was rather despondent, my life was about to change, my baby was going to school.  I had been wanting the bedrooms in our house painted and I decided that it would likely be very therapeutic  for me to tackle this painting project myself.  So, I did!  I wanted the walls one color and the trim another.  This is no project for a novice but I thought I could handle it and off I went.  Well, it was disastrous to say the least. Among other issues, I ended up spilling an entire gallon of paint on the carpet in one of the rooms.  So, it was therapeutic alright, it gave me something else to fret about for sure!  And, I have never painted since and I will not.  Lesson learned!!!

8.  Insert your own random thought here. 

 Thought I'd share a neat little recipe with you today.  It's called Pina Colada Fruit Dip and it's delicious!  I think I saw it on Facebook but if you would like to try this simple little dip, then click on my recipe tab at the top of my blog and it will be the first recipe you see.  Anyway, Hubby and I enjoyed it last night with fresh cantaloupe  and he said that he thought it would also be very good put in a graham cracker pie crust and eaten as pie.  Good idea!  But, I do think you would need to double the recipe to do that.  It's yummy and very summery!  

And, a good rest of the week to you.........
