It's a Fall Y'All Hodgepodge!!

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 191

Here are the questions for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge. Answer on your own blog, then hop back HERE tomorrow to share answers and add your link to the party...see you there!

1. It's fall. Y'all. My (Joyce's) favorite season of the year! What's something you love to do this time of year that makes you feel it's officially fall?  It isn't quite Fall, here in central Florida. It is still hot and sticky. When our Fall does arrive, my favorite thing is to open the doors to our screened in pool area. It makes the house feel twice as big, and the fresh air feels great!  And unrelated to that, do you ever say-'y'all'? I do say it occasionally, but not as often as two of my co-workers who are from Alabama and Georgia. They say it all the time!

2. When did you last have a falling out with someone?  I mentioned it in a blog several weeks ago. It was here at work. Has it been resolved?  Seems to have been resolved.

3. A song you love with the word 'fall' in it's title?  "I Fall To Pieces" by Patsy Cline

4. What's something you've recently let 'fall by the wayside?'  Cleaning!!

5. When did you last attend an event, read a book, watch a movie, try a new recipe, or visit a shop-town-tourist attraction that fell short of your expectations?  Gosh - probably a book, but I can't remember the title, because I just dismiss it and move on.  In what way?  If a book doesn't really grab me in the first two chapters, I will probably not continue to read it (unless it came recommended, and I know it will get better).

6. Describe a time you said or thought, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."  I think it frequently about Joe, because the older he gets, the more he seems to be like his dad in so many ways. And he would take that as a compliment!!

7. Was today better than yesterday?  Yes and no.  Why or why not?   Because I am taking a few days off from Blogger and Facebook, in order to get some things accomplished. I really do find social media to be distracting and time consuming (in a good way, usually). A few of you have taken some time off, so I'll plan to be back before the end of next week.  Probably in time for next week's Hodgepodge.  It is so easy for me to sit down and find two or three hours have gone by, and nothing has gotten done. I'll give you a full report in my first post next week (sometime!).

8.  Insert your own random thought here.  I hope no one is taking bets on how long I can say away. I was addicted to Pinterest when I first created my page, and now I rarely go there. It won't be the same with FB and Blogger, though. I would miss y'all too much. I still miss my Multiply friends who chose not to continue blogging. A short break will be good, but I will sure be thinking about you.

Thanks for stopping by my Hodgepodge today! Thanks to Joyce for another fun Q&A!!  Peace & blessings!
