Hodgepodge ~ February 26, 2025

 Happy Hodgepodge Day!



1. February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read a fairy tale lately? What's your favorite fairy tale? Do you believe in 'happily ever after'? 
I haven't read any fairy tales lately. I can choose joy in this life here on earth and my happily ever after will be eternity in Heaven with Jesus.

2. Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently-I answered all 3!

Once upon a time I was a homeschool mom, spending each day with my girls, cooking dinner for my family each night and loved spending time as a family. I still love spending time as a family although my family looks different now.  

  •          A long time ago I was a young teenager who dreamed about being on broadway one day and living in NYC.  I never made it to broadway on stage, but still love visiting NYC and going to see plays there and locally.  I also love listening to broadway music.
  •      In a place far far away I have a bright future, even with unseen hardships.  I am going to be okay.  And hopefully this is not so far away.

3. Which of the following 'fairy tale foods' is your favorite? Which have you made/eaten most recently? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland) 

I eat an apple and have a cup of tea at least 5 out of 7 days each week.  

4. What's your idea of fun? 

I love a dinner night with friends, that includes laughter.  I love being with my great nieces and nephews and playing with them.  I love listening to music, especially live music.  I love laughing at reels! I love going to sporting events. I love traveling, especially seeing new places.  I love, love being with my daughters most of all.  

5. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. 

noun - Chattanooga

verb - work

adjective - exhausting

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I am doing touch up paint projects this week.  Maybe I will have pictures by Friday to share.  So many projects going on here lately!  

Please keep praying for some movement and mountains to be moved here.

Thankful for you all & have a great day!

  3. I should have said laughing with friends! Friday night is still on my brain when we laughed hysterically over the circumstances of life that we're in. I love those moments with you! I loved all of your answers today, but amen to the first. All we need is hope we have in Jesus!

  6. I have you in my prayer journal and am praying as you have asked. I love NY too. We lived outside the city two different times and I miss popping in for the day, seeing shows, and just the energy there. Good luck with your paint projects!

  7. Hi, I liked all your once a upon times .... I too was a homeschool mom.
    I have been praying for you. You have an attitude of I CAN DO THIS that I admire.

    I tried to comment on your Monday post, but I could not... anyway I wanted to share with you my parents have not been all that well. My dad is ill. I too have been going to help. I went last Friday and did some chores and had dinner.
    Love, Carla

  8. I had no idea you had Broadway/NYC ambitions...that's so interesting! I wasn't into theater as a teen, but discovered it later on. I'm really excited about some good shows coming to Houston this year.
