Congratulations Joyce on your 300th edition of the Hodgepodge! That means you have asked some 2400 questions. My goodness, that's a boatload and you always cause us to stretch our brains with some of our answers. Thanks so much for hosting us each week!!! And, I LOVE your new button!
1. What is one area of your life where you're a perfectionist? Is that a good thing?
In order and organization. I thrive on it and I don't even have to think about it any longer as it is just automatic for me after all these years. My parents were highly organized individuals and our home was always a home of order.
2. What's something you find perfectly ridiculous?
The acceptance, by so many, of immorality without any thought of the consequences. Insane!!
3. What's a skill you've developed by way of that old fashioned saying, 'practice makes perfect?
The first thing to come to my mind was using the computer. I am self taught on everything I know how to do on a computer. Now, compared to some folks that isn't a lot and when compared to others, it's a fair amount. I have had a lot of frustrations in the process but 'practice does make perfect." I've especially had to be tenacious in learning photo editing, and I still have a long ways to go.
4. What's your idea of a perfect breakfast?
Breakfast is my favorite meal and it is a rarity for me to eat breakfast. I especially love to go out to eat breakfast and it's something I look forward to when we travel. My favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs with cheese, crispy bacon, a side of grits and half of a grilled buttered biscuit. Pure yumminess!
5. What's a trip, holiday, vacation, or day outing you've taken that you'd rate a perfect 10? Tell us why.
In 2009 we went, with 5 other couples, on an Alaskan Cruise. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Dinner time was special with the great food and fellowship and our excursions included everything from Dog Sledding to riding ATV's through rugged country side. Our accomodations were lovely and, as I said, it was just a splendid time. I'd go back tomorrow!
6. What quote or saying perfectly sums up your life right now? If you can't do perfect, how about one that comes close?
Family, friends and time are what matter most at this point in my life.

7. How would you spend $300 today?
We have two families in our church going through some tough, tough health issues, and as a result, they are facing financial stresses. I would split it between the 2 of them.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Hubby and I will be heading towards Oklahoma on Sunday to visit our 2 little cowboys. Bridget and Clancy are out for Spring Break next week so we'll spend a few fun days together. There is always something new to do or find in Oklahoma City for sure. But, sure wish it wasn't an 8 hour drive away, but it could sure be a lot further. Right Joyce? 😊
