Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 226
Here are the questions to this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge. Answer on your own blog, then hop back HERE tomorrow to share answers with the world wide webbers. See you there!
1. On Saturday July 4th America celebrates her Independence. (If you're not American, feel free to answer in terms of a national holiday in your own country) What is your favorite thing about the day? That our patriot ancestors rose up and fought for what they believed in. They deserve to be celebrated. Your favorite food on the 4th? I don't really have a favorite food for the 4th. Do you fly a flag at your house? Yes, definitely. Fireworks-yay or nay? Not anymore. I don't want to fight the bugs, the crowds or the traffic. Any special plans this year? We have been invited for lunch at a friend's house, then we will go the church (Vigil Mass). On the 5th, we begin our week at the beach with lots of family!
2. What's something you recently got for free? A button with the Museum's new logo on it, at this week's Annual Meeting.
3. The Statue of Liberty, The Liberty Bell, The Washington Monument, or Mount Rushmore...how many on the list have you seen? All but Mt. Rushmore. What is your favorite historical American monument, and why? There are so many magnificent ones that I can't really name a favorite. I lived in the metro DC area for 12 years and have seen lots of them, with reverence and awe. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Arlington National Cemetery touch my heart.
4. When it comes to the news are you more ostrich (stick my head in the sand) or hog (they have room to take a whole lot in)? Somewhere in between. How much attention have you given the recent news reports regarding ISIS and the acts of terror they've perpetrated against those who do not share their beliefs or support their cause? I am not a news-hog but I listen to learn enough to be informed. I have to admit that the tactics of those monsters make me sick and I would like to see them obliterated.
5. We're talking plain ice cream...vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry? Choose one. Chocolate.
6. Share a song you love containing the word 'stars' in the lyrics or title? Sang this one with my mom when I was a kid....
7. Describe and/or say goodbye to June with an acrostic.
June makes way for July
Under wet and rainy skies
Now we have a chance to get dry
Every day that goes by
8. Insert your own random thought here. You are tired of me saying it, but I am counting down the days to the beach!! I'm so excited to see my cousins!
