Hodgepodge Questions-Volume 652

1. What's something you may do this month?

I have nothing, after our family lunch on Monday my next scheduled event is the doctor on June 3rd.

2. Hola! Hodgepodge Day lands just after Cinco de Mayo... how do you feel about Mexican food? What's your favorite dish? Do you make it at home or is it a strictly dine out option? 

We love Mexican food and eat it often. I have several favorites, the Summer Special is oh so good, and I love breakfast tacos, and enchiladas are good too.  I can eat a bowl of guacamole all by myself and I'm not ashamed to say so! Sometimes we do take out, mostly we eat at the restaurant.  Our favorite places, Gringos and El Ranchero.

A Summer Special:

1 enchilada, 1 taco, 1 chile con queso tostada

3. When the children of today grow up what do you think they'll say about this time period? What do you most hope they remember? 

I'm sure they'll be like the generations before them, rolling their eyes when they are young.  As for all generations, I hope they walk with God.

4. What advice would you give a new mother? 

I like this from Proverbs 22:6, 'raise up a child in the way he should go.'  And, hang on, you're in for the ride of you life!  lol

I love this from Irma Bombeck: When kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.

5. What's a phrase your mother often said to you? If you're a mom do you say it to your own children?

My mother always said, 'money doesn't grow on trees'! I don't have a specific memory of saying that to my kids, but I'm sure I did somewhere along the way. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Another thought from Irma Bombeck:

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.😊

Tuesday 4

 Welcome friends!

This week's Tuesday 4 in memory of our friend Toni Taddeo is from Mary who blogs at Visits With Mary. and it's all about the month of May.   

Thanks Mary!

You’re welcome Annie!

Hello May

1.    May’s First Glimpse — What is the very first thing you notice or feel when May arrives each year?

May is a beautiful month, the spring flowers are in full bloom, the sun shines yet it’s not too hot to enjoy being outside.  It’s a great month for porch sitting and swing swaying

    

2. Simple May Joys — What small pleasures do you look forward to in May — flowers, breezes, routines, or traditions?

I always look forward to pleasant days on the porch, it's so quiet and peaceful, with pretty flowers and a bird or two stopping by, sitting on the fence waiting for Mr D to load the bird feeders. Some mornings I have my first sip of morning coffee out there and enjoy being in the presence of the Lord.

As I watch the yard wake up, I feel God whispering, “Be still — enjoy this.”

    

3.May Memories — Do you have a favorite May memory from childhood, family life, or recent years?

A great memory, on Memorial Day weekend, 1972, we moved into our home on Catlett Lane, where we lived for 35 years. I still miss the warmth there, so full of fun times and sad times and the best of times.

        

4.May Intentions — What gentle goals or hopes do you carry into this new month?

Our quarterly family luncheon is this month; Tammy and Bo will be hosting in their lovely home.

It's always a fun day when we get together!

 

 A BIG thanks to Annie for hosting this fun meme.

By Annette Wynne:

If I could stay up late no doubt
I'd catch the buds just bursting out;
And up from every hidden root
Would jump a tiny slender shoot;
I wonder how seeds learn the way,
They always know the very day—
The pretty, happy first of May;
If I could stay up then, no doubt
I'd catch the buds just bursting out.
