A High-Flying Wednesday Hodgepodge....

Joyce, From This Side of the Pond, gives us the questions and we answer them!!  Link up on her site and join in the fun!!  Thank you, Joyce!!

1. What's something that has recently 'tried your patience'?  Not in a bad way, by any means, but our grand-puppies and our cats did not play well together this past weekend and it did cause me to have a few moments here and there. I want them to be buddies and enjoy each others' company, but know that will never happen. If only our animals would just understand what we try to tell them!!

2. Do you think patience comes to us naturally or is it something you have to learn as you grow?  I think it is learned, and some of us learn more quickly than others.  On a scale of 1-10 generally how patient are you? (1=I blow up at the drop of a hat and 10=I've got all the time in the world).  Given that scale, I hover around 4-6 I think. I'm not a patient person but have learned to control it somewhat.  I am probably the worst when driving in heavy traffic....thanks Dad.  He did teach me to drive.

3. Share about a time when you felt like you could fly. Or a time you wished you could fly. Or a time you felt like you were flying.  I've never felt like I could fly and don't remember a time ever wishing I could fly. I guess I felt like I was flying every time I have been in an airplane, but I don't think that is the answer looked for here.

4. Your favorite song with the word fly in the title or lyrics, or your favorite song that relates to flying in some way?  The first thing that came to mind was Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon".  Not necessarily a favorite, but it is what I thought of first.

5. What's in your fall picnic basket and where are we picnicking in your neck of the woods this time of year?  I haven't been on a picnic in years and years.  We take fruit and bottles of water to the beach, so maybe that counts.

6.  Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, landscaping...which skill would you most like to possess and how would you put that skill to use today?  Our yard looks like no one cares (and I actually don't) so I suppose if I could be zapped with a green thumb I would begin immediately to make our yard look beautiful. I loathe yard work. 

7. What's something you think is too expensive to justify buying lately?  I've been wanting a new cat-tree for the kitties, but the one I want is $100 and I can't justify that right now. Their current one is falling apart, though, and they do love climbing high.....

8. Insert your own random thought here.  I added a tabbed page to my blog for Prayers and Praise. If you have a need for prayer and want to be added to my daily prayers, you may make your request there. My Friday post isn't getting many visits so I will use the tabbed page from now on and will include my prayer requests there too. Even unspoken needs will be prayed for. I am also going to stop trying to post something every day.  When I have something interesting, I'll post it. I will continue with the Wednesday Hodgepodge and the Saturday:9 which are both lots of fun. I'll do a weekly or weekend round-up on Monday or Tuesday. Maybe down the road I'll get back to it, but right now I just don't have anything interesting to say every day. So for my dear friends here who are faithful with your comments, don't worry when I miss a day or two here and there!! I'll still be over on Facebook more regularly.

Thanks for your visit today!!  I wish you peace & love!
