The Wednesday Hodgepodge...

 A big thanks to Joyce for today's Hodgepodge!  You can join in HERE!

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 600


From this Side of the Pond


1. My very first edition of The Wednesday Hodgepodge was published on November 10, 2010 (linked here if you're curious). Tell us something about your life from that era.  I was still working at the art museum.  We hadn't moved to Mas Verde yet.  Grandson Tristan came to visit, and we took him on a little vacation with us, over to the Kennedy Space Center, and then to St. Augustine.  Tristan was 12 (I think).  We had a great time.


2. What's a song you love that relates to time in some way?  Turn, Turn, Turn...

3. May is nearly upon us. When did you last need to yell 'MAY DAY-MAY DAY!!'?  A few months ago, when I thought my appendix was bursting, my neighbor called 911 for me.  It was a kidney stone.  Hurt like heck.

4. How do you feel about food trucks? Is this a dining experience you enjoy?  Do you have a favorite?  What's something you've ordered from a food truck?  Food trucks are a big thing here in Lakeland.  They are clean and well-regulated here.  I love the arepas and will buy one whenever I see them.  Corn "bread" with melted mozzarella cheese inside.  They are delicious!

5. We're bidding farewell to April...what are three adjectives you might use to describe the month you're leaving behind?  Renewing, Mild, Busy!!

6. Insert your own random thought here.  I am having such a good time with my company this week!  Kirk's sister, Susan, is great and is now considered my family as well as Kirk and Peggy.  I will have photos and stories for my Friday post!!  Watch this space!! 

 Peace and Hugs!

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven.

  1. That's a song I recognize..."turn, turn, turn". And yes, these times are a turning! Hard to believe April is almost over! (tonight!). Love the picture of you and young Tristan. Time sure does fly, doesn't it? Wow! In 2010 my grandson was 11. Now he's 25 & 1/2! I've never heard of an "arepa". Sounds good. Not sure if they sell them anywhere around here. I guess I wouldn't have known what they were if they did sell them. Now I know! Glad you are enjoying your company and have made some new friends as well! What a blessing! Have a great rest of your week.

    I've never heard of arepas but it sounds good.

  5. "To everything there is a season...." The ladies' Bible study group I attend is studying Ecclesiastes right now. This should be our theme song!

  6. I'm loving this photo of you and young Tristan! I think my Troy was just about his age when we visited the Space Center.
    That Byrds' song is one of my all-time favorites; in fact, I nearly chose it, too. I'd never heard of arepas, but betcha if I were to see/smell them I'd stand in line.
    So glad you're enjoying having a houseful once more!

  7. That was only a few years after we moved here to FL--we were well into building the additions to the main house!
