Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 647


From this Side of the Pond


1. March is rolling on out of here. Sum up your March in ten words or less.  My house and heart were full of dear friends.

2. Are you afraid of heights?  No, I am not.  When was the last time you found yourself dealing with a height, and did it make you nervous?  I really don't remember, unless flying last July counts.  Can't get much higher than 30,000 feet!!  I was not nervous.

3. What's a word you struggle to spell on a regular basis, and sometimes need to double-check before writing it down?  I am a terrible speller, so that list would be a long one.  How about accommodation?  Use the word in a sentence that tells us something about your April calendar.  My home will once again be a place of accommodation, with another loved one coming to visit!

4. Love 'em or hate 'em, with Easter comes the sweet treat known as Peeps. So... do you love 'em or hate 'em? I don't hate 'em, but I also won't be eating any of them.  Speaking of peeps, what's your favorite way to have chicken?  I really miss my Granny Kelly's fried chicken.  The Colonel, Popeye, and Publix don't hold a candle to my Granny's fried chicken.  I think it's lard.  The difference is frying it in lard.

5. This week's Hodgepodge lands on the first day of April, which happens to be National Poetry Month. Do you like poetry?   I like simple rhymes, but don't seek them out.  Share a favorite line or two from one of your favorite poems. What makes this one a favorite?  I don't have a favorite poem.  I do have quite a few favorite hymns, though.  See below...

6. Insert your own random thought here.  I went to the eye doctor yesterday.  Everything was good... all of the pressure stuff and looking at the nerves, etc.  My cataract lenses are still clear.  Nice to hear that!  My prescription changed a bit, but I can see fine, and my glasses are sturdy and not scratched.  I haven't decided about getting new ones yet.  My insurance only pays every two years, so this year would be on me.  We'll see.

Peace and Hugs!

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
