Hodgepodge Questions Volume 390

1. Let's start things off right...Wednesday is National Dessert Day. What are we having? I will have to think of something for tomorrow since I am doing this on Tuesday. How often do you make/serve dessert?  Rarely, usually only if we have company.  Store-bought or from scratch?  Around the holidays, I make desserts but in normal times we don't usually have dessert, even if we are eating out.  I do like cakes from Publix bakery.  We do like ice cream in the evening and will have that a couple of times a week... does that count. We call it a bedtime snack.

2. Slow as molasses, icing on the cake, that's the way the cookie crumbles, have your cake and eat it too, half-baked idea, that takes the cake...which phrase might be applied to something in your life in recent days? Explain.  Pretty much slow as molasses, I guess.  Pandemic times...  though Florida is opening up a bit and we are being a bit more social!!

3. Something that's 'easy as pie' for you to do?  Well, making a pie is not easy. I can't do pie crust to save my soul so I can't say pie is easy!!  LOL  Easy as a pie by Marie Callendar could explain how easy making spaghetti sauce from scratch is for me now, after all these years. 

4. Are you someone who likes to 'sugarcoat' news you think might not be well received or are you more of a tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may? Do you like to receive your news the same way you give it?   I believe in telling it like it is but I also might try to find something positive to temper it with - not necessarily sugar-coating it.  I do prefer to receive news in the same way.  Just tell me!

5. Something you did recently that made you feel like a 'smart cookie'?  I found a new rug for our living room area that does not show cat hair like our old one did.  Slapping my head and saying "duh"!!  We have three cats!  I know the cat hair is there but no longer feel like I need to vacuum twice a day in case someone comes for a visit.  It's there but you sure can't see it now!!

6. Insert your own random thought here. Speaking of visitors, our former Assistant Pastor Brian and his wife Ella came by yesterday to visit before picking up their kids from the local Christian school.  Our church had to let Brian go a couple of months ago because of the budget.  We just hated to see them go. Such a beautiful family of five boys and one girl... six kids!  The kids are all in school now, which is right down the street from our community so it was an easy stop for them.  Brian is looking for a senior pastor position.  His folks are here in the area and they really want to stay here if possible.  He was a senior pastor before coming to our church, where they lived in Alabama.   Praying for something for them soon. They have a beautiful home that they bought thinking it would be their 'forever' home. 

Thanks for your visit!!

Peace & hugs!  God bless!!
