The Wednesday GroundHodgepodge...

 Thanks to our hostess, Joyce, for today's questions!  You can become a Hodgepodger HERE!


Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 406





1. Feb 2nd is Groundhog Day in the US of A. Tell us about one day you wouldn't mind living over again, and why you chose that day.  Gosh. Is it sad that I can't think of a day I would want to live over and over?  There are many wonderful days in my 69 years of life but I can't think of one I would go back to live again.  I am quite happy right here with many beautiful memories of blessings and great days.

 2. Something you know beyond a 'shadow of a doubt'?   That Jesus Christ is my Savior.

3. Give us an example of history repeating itself in some way, in your own life or the lives of your children.  I'm sorry but I can't think of a thing. 

4. Snowed under, snow job, not a snowball's chance, snowbird, on thin ice, snug as a bug in a rug, tip of the iceberg, snowball effect, run hot and cold....choose a wintry idiom and tell us how it best applies to your life right now.  Snug as a bug in a rug. It is cold (for us) here in central Florida and I have felt a cold coming on so have stayed snug in the house drinking hot tea with honey and having chicken soup for dinner.  I've gotten through an entire year without a cold and all of a sudden, coughing and blowing. No fever, no flu-like symptoms. I am the queen of colds and usually suffer through two a year. Yuck. I don't feel bad though and hope it is short-lived.  It almost seems like more of an allergy than a cold. I told Joe it might be just a reaction to the vaccine since it kind of started on day 3 after the shot. Who knows. 

5. Your favorite sign of spring?  Strawberries!!  And they are ripe!!



6. Insert your own random thought here.  We are enjoying another series on Netflix called Last Tango in Halifax. British shows are so good! Check it out if you are looking for something new to stream!  We are still also watching New Tricks and also The Americans. Sometimes it is hard to remember things we did before we became TV slugs.


Peace & hugs!  Jesus loves you!!

  2. Cold here and we had some snow this past week. I am also snug as a bug in a rug. Fresh strawberries (fresh, ripe fruit of any kind) yummy!

  3. Chilly here. Gus, the Springer Spaniel was about to go nuts yesterday because I didn't want to go for a walk. I will have to brave the cold today! I love strawberries and strawberry season.

    1. Yes, I did. Last week. This is just an annoying head cold. No temmp, no nausea, snotty cough & nose. I'm not tired or achy.

  5. Sure hope that cold goes away quickly, Terri! I love strawberries, too, and can't wait until we can get some good ones up this way.
    Blessings!

  6. Hi Terri:
    I love your answers today, especially #2,
    which I definitely agree with.
    I'm also snug as a bug in a rug.
    Have a great Wednesday.

  8. Terri, I am really craving some of those strawberries after seeing them on your page.

  9. #2 -- amen! Sorry to hear you're feeling a little under the weather. Boston Market's butternut squash and Lucky Dill's chicken matzo ball soup always seemed to do the trick for me. Wish I could send you one of my magic teabags. (*smile*)

    BTW, Tom's DIL is an ICU nurse in Phoenix. Despite having had Covid, she still had a slight reaction to both vaccines: Sniffles, sore throat, etc.

    1. Thanks, Myra. I've been comparing symptoms online. No temp, no sore throat, no aches, etc. It is just my nasty sinuses. Five of us had the vaccine at the same time and the other four are fine. This has nothing to do with it.

  10. Your strawberries come in so early, how lucky you are! Hope you're feeling better soon. I have heard many here saying they had chills and body aches the day or two after dose number 2. We are still sorting out tv aggravations following the switch in providers. Hopefully we're on the road to making it all work.

  11. Hope you feel better soon Terri. Does sound like a cold though rather than a vaccine reaction. Hubby gets his first does on Friday.

  12. visiting from hodgepodge -- I'm so excited to see your strawberries. Our local ones won't be in for a while but we seem to get Florida strawberries in our store. They are always so delicious! I'm so sorry that you have a cold. Hope you feel better soon!

  13. We are still watching New Tricks too and enjoying it!
    Quit tormenting me with those yummy strawberries!

  14. I do hope you feel better soon. My friend had a reaction after her 2nd shot and she was pretty sick for a few days. I think she is fine now. It is allergy season too, the pollen is starting to fall I've noticed...so most likely that is what you are having...the yellow pine pollen is showing up... Love the strawberries. We are binge watching Sherlock Holmes shows, old ones first and working our way up. Never watched them before and we are enjoying them so much! Good pasttime on these very chilly/windy days. Take care and drink lots of fluids!! You know the drill. Praying you will feel better soon.

  15. Sorry to hear your fighting a cold, they make you so miserable. Great answers on 1 & 2, I agree with both. Take care, hope you feel better soon. ((hugs))

  16. I didn't even think about fresh fruit being a sign of Spring. I think we get spoiled here in America because stores keep most of it around year round. But good answer!

    1. February is strawberry month here in central FL. The fields are full of berries and pickers and you can buy a flat for $12. Says spring for us!
