Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond
And, it's Wednesday and that means that our sweet Joyce has given us 6 more questions to answer.  Thanks Joyce, it's so good to have the HP back!

1. What's something you could do today to feel more peaceful?
To never forget that God is still on His throne and He knows right where we are, what we are facing and will give us just what we need to make it thru each day.
I can also look out our back windows and see our beautiful pond that exudes peace and tranquility.

2. June 2nd is National Rotisserie Chicken day. Who knew? Are you a fan of rotisserie chicken? You've purchased one at your local market for tonite's dinner. Will you serve as is or make something else using the chicken?
Funny you would ask.  We've been a BIG fan of rotisserie chicken during this Covid isolation.  One reason is that it is easy to go get one and then just fix the sides to go with it.  Hubby really likes them and if he likes them, then I am good. I am sure that I have bought at least 6 of them during the past 2 months. So, guess I'd be a fan!

3. I read a list recently (go here to read more) of 20 of the most beautiful places in America. How many of these have you seen up close and in person? Of the sites on this list that you haven't seen, which would you most like to see?

Antelope Canyon Arizona, Kenai Fjords Alaska, White Mountains New Hampshire, Crater Lake Oregon, The Palouse Washington and Idaho, Grand Prismatic Spring Wyoming, Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Oregon, Horsehoe Bend Arizona, Na Pali Coast Kauai Hawaii, Antelope Valley California, Lake Tahoe California, The Berkshires Massachussets, Maroon Bells Colorado, Angel Oak South Carolina, Acadia National Park Maine, Grand Teton National Park Wyoming, Turnip Rock Michigan, Central Park New York City, Niagara Falls New York, and Skagit Valley Tulip Fields Washington
I have been to The Berkshires and Central Park in NYC.  I'd be happy visiting any of the other places but Acadia National Park probably peaks my interest most.

4. What's one pretty spot you'd add to the list in question #3? Are there travel plans of any kind on your calendar right now? Does that make you happy, anxious, excited, sad, or relieved?
We will go to Atlanta in the near future to see Hubby's two sisters and that makes me happy.  We will stay with them, so no hotel room and we always have a fun time, even if all we do is sit around and visit.  We have no big travel plans at the present.

5. Tell us one un-COVID related thing you're looking forward to in the month of June.
Our daughter and grandsons will be coming to visit for a few days.  I always have concerns when she makes that 8+ hour drive by herself with the boys but she handles it like a trooper.  This will be her first time to have 3 in tow and thankfully, Case is a good traveler and Clancy is a very good helper for his Momma.  And, above all else, this Momma will be praying God's hedge of protection over them as they travel.

6. Insert your own random thought here.


For almost 2 years we have been eating Sunday lunch  with 2 other couples that go to church with us.  We go to the country club that has a lovely buffet, but that has not been taking place since the pandemic.  So, once we entered Phase 1 we decided that we would rotate going to each other's homes for lunch and we'd all contribute something to the meal.  This past Sunday was our turn to host  and I tried my hand with a floral table scape (Sunflowers with greenery from our Gardenia bushes) and was quite proud of the way it turned out.  I am anything but an arranger of flowers. We have all enjoyed this time together in our homes and while things are still far from normal, it gives us something to look forward to in our week.

Peace to all!!!!

    1. Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542

  2. I always love your table settings. Wish I could be there for lunch. Things are very slowly opening here but still no church gatherings or lunch fellowships following. Glad your daughter and grandsons will be coming to visit. She is a trooper for sure!

  3. Hubs and I just said yesterday how much we miss Sunday lunch with friends after church. I love your arrangement and your Pomona dishware. I have the same but with the vine border added. Excited for you to see your grands! Enjoy!

  4. As our church services are still online, we haven’t socialized much. But we did have a couple we normally eat out with on Sundays, over to watch the service and have lunch here a few weeks ago. This past Sunday afternoon four SS couples got together for a meal and to catch up. That was fun and we all needed the time together. Your table was so pretty and colorful. I love the little vases on the mirrors. Good job!

  5. Your table is lovely and most inviting. Our church opened several weeks ago with different options. Still, visiting with and having meals with friends isn't happening the way it did. We visited Acadia Park and it was pretty. #1 is absolute truth!

  11. Your table setting is lovely. What a great idea to maintain your Sunday habits with friends.

    While you have your lake to help with feelings of peace, I have a tall row of cedar trees that runs along the back of our property. In the wind they look like they are dancing and I enjoy that.

    Have a wonderful visit with Brigit and the boys!

  12. I am SO late in commenting on this post but I always enjoy reading your answers! I know you are beyond excited about your daughter and grandchildren coming for a visit and I too pray for their safety. For someone who says they aren't much on flower arranging, you did a fabulous job! I love sunflowers:) Hope you've had a good week and that you and yours are continuing to be safe and well. Love & hugs!

  13. Your dinners at each other's houses will be even more special than the country club get togethers. Lovely table setting.

    Hope your daughter and grandchildren arrived safely. And that you have enjoyed a memorable visit.

  14. We've been to Central Park a few times but the one place I would love to travel to is Hawaii. I don't think that will happen any time soon. Love your tablescape, too!

  16. I was having Herpes Simplex Virus then i came across a review of people saying that they got treated from Herpes Simplex Virus by Dr Voke., So i gave a try by contacting him through his email and explain my problem to him. He told me all the things I need to do and also give me instructions to take, which I followed properly. Before I knew what is happening after two weeks the HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS that was in my body got vanished . so if you are also heart broken by any deadly diseases like HERPES HIV, shingles,low sperm count or bringing back your ex lover, this great man is extremely the best in which I have seen and applauds and if you also need a help, you can also email him via email (doctorvoke@gmail.com)

  17. Thanks dr Kabaka you promised and you did it god almighty will continue to bless you as you help people reunite their broken relationship and broken marriages . I never thought I will smile again, My husband left me with two kids for one year, All effort to bring him back failed I thought I'm not going to see him again not until I met a lady called rose who told me about a spell caster called DR Kabaka, She gave me his email address and mobile number and I contacted him and he assured me that within 48hours my husband will come back to me, In less than 48hours my husband came back started begging for forgiveness saying it is the devils work, so I'm still surprise till now about this miracle,i couldn't conceive but as soon as the spell was cast,i became pregnant and gave birth to my third child,if you need any assistance from him you can contact him via: email: drkabakaspiritualtemple@gmail.com OR call his whatsapp number on +2349015857861 https://drkabakaspiritualt.wixsite.com/dr-kabaka
