Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 564

1. What was the best (or one of the best) summers of your life? Tell us why.  I met Joe on August 1, 1983.  That was at the end of the summer but I'm counting it anyway!!  Summers were always fun when I was growing up.  Small town, friends across the street, woods to explore, a lake to swim in, big backyards, trees to climb...

2. When you have a trip coming up do you make a list and check it twice to ensure you don't forget anything? Or are you a 'throw whatever you can think of into the suitcase at the last minute' kind of packer? When returning from a trip do you unpack immediately or leave the suitcase right where it lands?   I don't write a list but I do have a mental list of what to pack.  I don't wait until the last minute.  Can't do that!!  When I get home, I unpack and sometimes even start a load of laundry.

3. What's your favorite food or beverage made with lemons?  I can drink lemonade but it's not a favorite.  Is that a flavor you enjoy?  I do not care for lemon-flavored anything but I will be polite if it is served to me.

4. When was the last time you had to make lemonade out of lemons, figuratively speaking I mean?  You know what, I can't remember.  I think I just keep on keepin' on and don't give it a thought.  God has been so good to me.  Even those lemons are a blessing when sprinkled with the gospel and some sugar!

5. Did you like school growing up? Why or why not?  I loved school from kindergarten through my senior year.  Friends, fun, art classes, music, I loved biology and English.  I was on the yearbook staff, ran track... I think you make it fun by being involved and interested.  I'm from a very small town and there were only 47 in my senior class, so it was a different experience from many.  Blessed.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  I had to get new tires on my car yesterday.  They filled them with nitrogen instead of air.  I had never heard of that before but it seems to be the new thing.  It is good for the tires since it doesn't expand when it heats up like air does.  A friend recommended the company to me and they were really great.  While I was waiting, a man came in and looked at me and said I know you from somewhere.  I said, Redeemer?  And he said YES!  He and his wife went to my church the first year or so we were there.  They went on to help with a church plant so it had been a while since I saw them.  That was fun... small world.  

Peace and Hugs!!

It's a small world, after all,

It's a small, small world!
