Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 623

1. 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' How does this saying ring true in your own family, either the one you grew up in or the one you made?  LOL.. I say all the time that I turn into my dad (who taught me to drive) when I get behind the wheel.  It's not rage or anger, just bad-talking idiot drivers in front of me, and that's usually with a laugh and a "thank you, Dad"!!  I've been told a couple of times that I remind someone of my mom.  That's the biggest compliment that anyone could give me (but I don't hold a candle to her and know that!).

2. Something you're nuts about these days? How about something that's driving you nuts? Crazy drivers drive me nuts.  I am nuts about America (hopefully), respectfully returning to God.  Thank you, Jesus!

3. What does abundance mean to you?  Over-flowing blessings.

4. Caramel apple-caramel cake-caramel corn-caramel sundae-caramel macchiatto...what's your caramel treat of choice?  Yes, please. Any and all of those.  I love caramel, toffee, dulce de leche... whatever you call it!!

5. What's a childhood memory that always comes to mind as the leaves start to fall?  I grew up in Ohio, with a beautiful Maple tree in the backyard.  I put a platform in that tree and would climb up there with Nancy Drew, passing a couple of hours reading, feeling the cool breeze, and watching the red/yellow leaves get ready to fall...  

6. Insert your own random thought here. My guests left this afternoon, but asked if they could change their plans and return at the end of their time in Florida for a few more nights (16th - 20th).  The friend they are visiting in the Daytona area has not been feeling well. They are concerned about making things more difficult for her.  I will leave their beds made, will wash their towels, and look forward to a few more fun days ahead.  They have requested that we go to Lake Kissimmee for an airboat ride at the Grape Hammock Fish Camp!!  We're gonna see some alligators and have some fun!  I haven't been there since well before Covid!! 

Peace and Hugs!

For the beauty of the earth

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,

This our hymn of grateful praise.
