The Wednesday Hodgepodge...

 You can be a Hodgepodger HERE!  Thank you, Joyce!!

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 506


From this Side of the Pond

1. Do you know much about (or understand) Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Does it worry or excite you?   I don't understand it fully but I know what it is and it scares me a bit.  I hope it will be used for good and not evil.  I don't worry about it because that solves nothing.  Facebook gives me enough heartburn so let's don't even think about artificial intelligence.

2. What was the last song you listened to? Your favorite movie soundtrack? What song always puts you in a good mood?  I just don't pay that much attention to what song was on.  I really only listen to music in my car and it is mainly background.  Soundtrack?  Gosh, I don't know.  Hope Floats and Sweet Home, Alabama came to mind.  How about I Can Only Imagine!  Songs I can sing along to (from the 60s-70s) make me happy!

3. What were you doing ten years ago?  Ten years ago around this time, we took a road trip north, through Savannah for a couple of days, and then on to Ohio for my niece's graduation.  We also stopped at my sister's in Georgia on the way home and 'adopted' our cat, Vinny.

4. Your favorite no-bake summer dessert?  Anything sweet from the Publix bakery!!  They baked... I didn't!!  LOL

5. Something you're looking forward to in June?  Nothing special going on for me but both of my sisters have birthdays, my son, Jeff, has a birthday, my niece, Sara, has a birthday, and my dear friends, Elaine & Jim, celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary!!  I was a bridesmaid!! How can it be 50 years?!


6. Insert your own random thought here.  My niece, Sara, just submitted her Ph.D. dissertation for review.  I am so very proud of her for getting that done while also caring for their first child.  Praying it sails through all the reviews by her professors so it can be submitted to the university and she can graduate this summer.  The picture is me with Sara back in 2018 when she and Matthew came to visit.  We have been asked to not post pictures of the baby on social media but you can take my word for it that he is adorable.  


Peace & Hugs!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow!!

  1. Congratulations to your niece! We are trying to find our comfort level with the children's pictures here too. Facebook settings are more private (although as we know anyone can get to anything), but blogs are public so a bit more of an issue. You sound like us when it comes to birthdays in May-June, so many here! I love the bridesmaid picture. Have a great day!

  4. How I remember those gowns, those gloves! Yep on anything coming from Publix' bakery. Work smarter, not harder, right?
    Congratulations to Sara on all her accomplishments! (I, too, have a Sara(h) who doesn't want pictures of her baby shared. Trying to understand ...)

  6. Wonderful news for Sara!! Loved the wedding photos, old pictures are so enjoyable. I know very little about AI, like you, it scares me a little. Just hope it's used for the good of mankind and not evil.

  8. That is so great for Sara! Lots of hard work and it sure pays off doesn't it. I trust the Good Lord to take care of all the crazy stuff in the world. Even Stephen Hawking before he passed away warned about Artificial Intelligence!! I try to go past all the crazy talk at FB too. I love the wedding photos and 50 years W O W! Congratulations to your friends. You were so pretty as a bridesmaid. Sweet memories. My oldest brother will celebrate 50 years next month (July). I was their flower girl. hahaha.....Can you believe a new month is coming already!? Time moves quickly. I hope you have a great rest of the week. Take care
