HodgePodge Wednesday

 

Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 639

Here are the questions to this week's Hodgepodge.

From this Side of the Pond

1. The Winter Olympics kick off on Friday, February 6th...on a scale of 1-10 how excited are you? (1= eh and 10=watching every event all day every day). What's your favorite Winter Olympic sporting event? 

I'm not a big sports fan and I wouldn't miss the Olympics if they weren't televised.  Since they are, I might watch the figure skating.

2. In other sporting news, the Superbowl (American football's championship game) will be played on Sunday, February 8th. So tell us...what's your superpower?

After giving this considerable thought, I don't think I have a superpower😳!

3. Are you a romantic?

I am 💙.

4. Blue cheese-yay or nay? How about feta? If you said yes to one or both, what's a dish you like that calls for one of these? 

Nay and nay.

5. What's more important-doing what you love or loving what you do? 

That sounds like the same thing to me.  I think it's important any way you look at it.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

That's the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

Monday Coffee Talk

 5/26



Here it is, the first Monday of February, time just keeps marching on.

February, be good to me,

Many blessings I’d like to see.

Let blessings bloom like winter’s rose,

Small and sweet, in hidden rows.


The calendar page has been turned . . . a reminder to get out the checkbook and pay the bills.  Not much fun but somebody has to do it.  Just sayin'.  It's also means just a another 2 flips of the calendar and spring time will be upon us.  Hello  porch swing.

I don't want to get ahead of myself, let's get back into February, the month of love.💖

February, be gentle, please,

 Wrap my days in quiet peace.

Guide my steps with heaven’s light—

Morning mercy, stars at night.


February is birthday month for me and for sweet great‑grand Ava. Two generations, two candles, and one grateful heart. It's also Tammy and Bo's anniversary month.

Did you know that February is the only month that can pass without a full moon—a rare little quirk that makes it feel extra special. Still, it's hard to think of the month of love without a full moon.

And as each day unfolds its grace,

May God’s love fill every space.

May many hearts fall from above

Sending down His abounding love.


“Here’s to February—short, sweet, and full of hearts!

February—may your short days be filled with long moments of grace, warm cups of comfort, and little reminders that God is nearer than the winter air. May we walk through this cozy month wrapped in His kindness.

Mr D and I are off to the eye doctor this morning.  Time for new glasses so we can see better! :)

Until Next Time
