Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 272
1. How did you welcome the month of July, and tell us one fun thing you did to celebrate the 4th. (or the weekend for any non-USA residents playing along today). We welcomed July by being lazy and doing a whole lot of nothing! It was wonderful! Our friends had us over for a holiday lunch on Monday, which we enjoyed.
2. Right now..what's your favorite red thing? Probably a pair of red earrings. white thing? I guess my white sneakers. Comfortable! blue thing? I have on my favorite pair of navy slacks, so I'll go with that.
3. Wave the white flag, raise a red flag, fly your freak flag...which 'flag' have you flown most recently? I haven't really raised any of those. Explain. I rarely surrender (haha); nothing has required a red flag, at work or at home; and I don't even own a freak flag (I don't think!). What is a freak flag? LOL
4. According to Conde Nast Traveler these are the seven best places to visit in July-
a boat safari in Botswanna's Okavango Delta, Riviera Maya Mexico (it's whale shark season and apparently you can swim with them), Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, Pamploma Spain, St. Petersburg Russia, the Fuji Rock Festival at Mount Naeba Japan, the Salzburg Festival in Salzburg Austria
If time and money weren't factors would you want to see any/all of these? Which would you most like to see and why? The only one that holds any interest for me would be Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, but not enough to spend my money there rather than on a trip to Italy, Ireland, Scotland or Germany.
5. Grilled cheese, pimento cheese, or mac and cheese...your favorite from the cheesy treats listed? Definitely mac and cheese, but I do enjoy grilled cheese and pimento cheese. If cheese is in the recipe, it must be good! LOL
6. What makes you sweat? I live in Florida. Even with the AC set on 75° housework still makes you sweat. Just moving, inside or out here in Florida during the summer months can make you sweat.
7. Your favorite movie with a 'patriotic' theme of some sort? The Patriot; Independence Day; then there is James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Boy....born on the 4th of July!
8. Insert your own random thought here. As mentioned yesterday, our son and daughter-in-law will be here on Thursday through Sunday. I asked for Friday off and got it. Another 3-day weekend works for me!! Looking forward to their visit! I need to get the guest room ready and we'll have to make a grocery run, but plenty of time for both.
Thanks for your visit today!! Peace & hugs.
It's hot here in SC too, but I like warm weather. And air conditioning! Gotta have ac! Have a wonderful time with your son and daughter-in-law!
ReplyDeleteYou sound really excited about the upcoming visit. I am glad that you were able to get the day off Friday. I hope you all have a wonderful time together. :)
ReplyDeleteTexas is as you describe Florida. It is just too hot.
Have a blessed day!
Those lazy days at home are always great. Too many people trying to do the events and things out there to suit us. We prefer to stay at home, too.
ReplyDeleteHot here too, Terri, suppose to be 95*. Enjoyed your answers, I bet the kids nowadays have no idea what Yankee Doodle Dandy is...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI don't miss that Florida heat! I lived in FL for 15 years and worked as a project manager on construction sites with no AC. Folks always said "you'll get use to it", I never did. I now live in the mountains, it still gets hot; but even in July we still have cool mornings and it's beautifully cool after sunset. Lovin' it!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Lori in Blue Ridge, GA
Enjoy your time with son and daughter-in-law. I have a few friends visiting Florida this week and she says the temp is too hot for her at 7:00am!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your family visit. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWoo-Hoo, glad you got your day off Friday to spend with arriving family. The only one of the places listed that I would enjoy visiting would be Salzburg Festival in Salzburg Austria. Humidity is a killer and makes me sweat. Have a good Wednesday dear friend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers! I just watched James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy, great movie!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful long weekend with the family. I laughed at your #3 because it looked a lot like mine. Lol Hope you have a good Wednesday, Terri. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is really turning into a family summer for you! You've got to try Palmetto Cheese. I had some on the 4th and I don't think I'll ever eat any other kind! It's better than my dad's homemade, but don't tell him I said that. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou could cool off from Florida's heat with a trip to Yellowstone... (smile).
ReplyDeleteHey being lazy occasionally is good for you Terri!! That is my story and I am sticking to it.lol
ReplyDeleteOh boy, do I remember those summer days in Florida! I went through my first pregnancy there. Whew. I forgot to turn the AC back down when I left work one night and when we came back in the morning the windows were FROSTED over! Oops!
ReplyDeleteCheese is like bacon...it goes with everything and makes everything better. LOL
Have a great visit with your family.
The only thing worse than summers in Georgia, are summers in Florida :) Ha!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have a long weekend to enjoy your house guests! Stay cool.
'Have to admit, I had to Google 'freak flag.' :)
ReplyDeleteJust think ... we're one more day closer to cool weather!
Glad you got the day off. Have a lovely weekend with the family. I'm off to google freak flag! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm joining in with the rest....headed to Google "freak flag"...LOL HOPE you have another awesome weekend with family.
ReplyDeleteI go for mac and cheese too, but grilled cheese is close behind.
ReplyDeleteIt's hot and humid here, and tomorrow is supposed to be worse.
Have a fun weekend!
We didn't do much on the 4th of July either. We were probably gonna grill some animal flesh in any event. Staying comfortably cool is difficult when it's so hot and humid up here in the Granite State. Thankfully it doesn't last too long. I hope you are able to stay cool where you live where it has to be more difficult to do so. Take care and...until next week.
