Hodgepodge Oldie

Joyce asks the questions, and we provide the answers. See how others answered at From This Side of the Pond.


1. What's something you enjoy now that your younger self would never have appreciated? 

Sitting on the back porch. My daddy loved sitting on the back porch in the mornings and evenings; he would go in during the heat of the day. I didn't get it, but I definitely do now.

2. What was peaceful about today? 

Being able to sit on the back porch for a little while, listening to the birds singing.

3. It's National Blueberry Day (July 8). Will you celebrate?  You can have one of the following right now-a slice of blueberry pie, a warm blueberry muffin, or a stack of blueberry pancakes...which do you choose?

I probably won't celebrate, but you never know. I'm always up for a warm blueberry muffin!

This or that-blueberries or raspberries? blueberries or strawberries? 

Blueberries over raspberries, but strawberries over blueberries.

4. Do you need a break? From what? 

It's only been a month since I've been back from my 2-month trip; my answer should be no, I don't need a break.

5. What has surprised you most about getting older? 

How freeing it is! 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I'll write more on my 2-month solo trip later, but I will just say that it was fantastic. Just one hiccup that had me completely stressed out for a couple of days, but in the grand scheme of things, it was no big deal. (You'll have to keep checking back to see what happened!) For now, I'll tell you where I went: Tulip Time Cruise to the Netherlands and Belgium with my SIL followed by 2 days in The Netherlands by myself (I got out of Amsterdam), Ireland, and Scotland. You won't be surprised to know that I spent the bulk of my time in Ireland!

I've had an earworm since I've been back...
