Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 628

1. What does patriotism mean to you?  Devotion to my country, love of our patriot ancestors, and all they stood for as our country was born.  American pride in our Flag, in our Constitution, and in our veterans who supported our values by serving and protecting our citizens (and those who still wear a uniform).  God bless America. 

2. September-October-November...your favorite fall month? Tell us why. If you live in the southern hemisphere, use these months but sub spring for the word fall. I'm choosing November because of Thanksgiving.  I love Thanksgiving, and there will already be eight people around my table.  The more, the merrier!!

3. A song you love with the word thanks (or some form of that word)  in the title or lyrics?  

Now thank we all our God

With heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things hath done,

In whom His world rejoices;

Who, from our mothers' arms,

Hath blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love,

And still is ours today.

4. November is National Peanut Butter Month. Are you a fan?  It's okay.  There is some in the pantry. What's the last peanut butter bite you had?  Probably a sandwich with jelly.  It's been months.  Fill in the blank: peanut butter and dill pickle slices. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it!!  Oh, and you can't say jelly. 

5. This week's gratitude question- What event from this past year are you most grateful for? Getting to travel a bit.  Michigan and Illinois last July, and Ohio in September.  Friends and family put up with me and put me up.  Grateful and blessed!

6. Insert your own random thought here. I went to a local bee farm yesterday with Susan and Sandy!  It was so fun!! I bought honey and took photos of some of the livestock.  We didn't visit the bee hives, but we did get up close and personal with cows, goats, chickens, and farm cats!!  Loved it.  Susan invited us to have lunch at her house when we got back home.  We made a quick stop at Chicken Salad Chic to bring home some chicken salad to spread on her croissants.  We sat and talked for another hour at her dining room table.  A very sweet morning!  (Thank you, Susan!)

Happy humpday!  Thanks for your visit today!

Peace and Hugs!

All praise and thanks to God

The Father now be given,

The Son, and Him who reigns

With them in highest heaven,

The one eternal God,

Whom earth and heaven adore,

For thus it was, is now,

And shall be evermore.
