I always miss not participating in Joyce's Hodgepodge but I've missed the past couple of weeks and am so glad to be back with it today. Thanks Joyce for always "showing up" with the questions.
2. Last time you needed to 'spring into action' or 'spring to someone's defense'...explain.
Can I just say that as the overseer of my Dad's daily care it seems that I am pretty much springing into action or coming to his defense all.the.time. I'm not complaining but I'd be lying if I said that I don't tire of it. Have mercy, if folks would just do their job this entire world would be such a better place. Don't even get me started...............
3. Tulips or daffodils? baby birds or baby bunnies? The cherry tree or the dogwood tree? Jelly beans or peeps? March madness or spring training? Peas or carrots?
Well, I love tulips and daffodils, I LOVE birds but baby bunnies are soooo much cuter than baby birds. Cherry trees and dogwoods are equally pretty to me. I'd refuse both jelly beans and peeps. Ugh! And, I care anything about March madness or spring training. Think that carrots win out over peas but I do eat both.
4. I read an article here on the South's best cities on the rise. They are-Baton Rouge Louisiana, Fayetteville Arkansas, Greenville South Carolina, Huntsville Alabama, Lexington Kentucky, Norfolk Virginia, Tulsa Oklahoma, Waco Texas, Wilmington North Carolina, and Winston-Salem North Carolina. Of the cities listed how many have you seen in person? Which one on the list would you most like to see? Have you spent much time in the southern states (USA)? Any spring road trips on your calendar?
I'm pretty sure if I include travels from my childhood that I have been to everyone of these fair cities. And, since we live in Louisiana guess I can say that I have spent a whole lot of time in the southern states. And, may I say, there's just nothing quite like the South. We will be leaving next Wednesday headed to see our Oklahoma family.
5. Tell us how your outdoor space needs sprucing up this spring? Which do you enjoy more (or hate the least-ha!) yard work or house work?
Our outdoor space was all spruced up last week with fresh pine straw, weed pulling, trimming bushes and the such. Hubby hired some help and he supervised and it's looking very nice around here. I enjoy housework much more than yard work. I enjoy getting the porches and patio ready for spring but that's enough dirt on my hands for me.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Our hearts were made so very happy this past Saturday when this awesome young lady was elected overwhelming to represent our district as our Congresswoman. As many of you know her dear husband, Luke, had been elected in the fall election and just days before he was to be sworn in he died of complications from Covid at the age of 41. Both Julia and Luke went to school with our kids and we have known them for what seems forever. They have always been the finest and I knew they would both go far. We were beyond devastated over Luke's death and knew without a doubt, when Julia announced she would run to fill his seat, that she was more than capable of filling the position. She has a 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter so she has her hands very full. Thankfully, both her parents and Luke's parents are alive and well and back her 100% in this and will give her their full support. She's just another example of how God can use tragedy for His glory. Julia has been so forthright in her Christian convictions and values and I just know the Lord will use her in a mighty way.
