Hodgepodge ~ October 21, 2026

 Hi friends!  Linking up with Joyce today for this week's fun Hodgepodge questions.

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on 'Back To The Future Day'. October 21, 2015 was the date the movie characters (Marty McFly, Doc, and Jennifer Parker) traveled to in the future in the 1989 film Back To The Future Part 2. 

Did you see the movie? Tell us a something about what was happening in your life in the fall of 2015. 

Oh, I loved this movie!  Here are some pictures from October 2015.  I went down a picture trail and found a lot :).  It happened to be a good travel month for me.  I was living in Colombia at the time, but flew to New York City to meet up with my mom, sister and sister-in-law for a girls trip.

I also went on a trip with my family to Armenia, Colombia, which is in the coffee region.  We were with the team we worked with while living in Colombia and took a retreat there.  It was so cool to stay on a coffee plantation and take a tour of how Colombian coffee is made from watching them actually pick the beans to tasting their coffee!

We went horseback riding and this area was known for their wax palm trees.  

We went to a restaurant that is known for their trout.  It was served on a patacones.  I specifically remember when I ordered this in Spanish to ask for the fish to be served without the head!

The girls also went zip lining.  It was quite the experience!

On another Back to the Future note, I went to see some of the cast last year on the 40th Anniversary of the original movie.  I went mainly to see Huey Lewis, who had a brief part in the movie and sang the theme song.  I was also a big fan of Michael J. Fox in the 80's because I loved the TV show, Family Ties.  Michael J. Fox was on a panel at this event, so I was able to see him, which was really cool.  This was a really fun day & another trip I did on my own in New Orleans.

2. Which -ber month is your favorite? (September, October, November, December). Explain why. 

November is my favorite month of the year.  Here are my top 5 reasons in no particular order:

The weather is cooler.

There is an emphasis on what we are thankful for in life.

People decorate for Christmas and begin the holiday spirit.

Black Friday/ week of sales!

It is my birthday month!

3. Red, yellow, orange, bronze...your favorite fall color to wear? To eat? To see in nature? 

I like to wear red or bronze color clothing.

I like to eat most foods these colors!

The red and yellow leaves really stick out to me as such beauty.

4. What do you miss most about being 20? 

I miss the easier schedule because I was in college then.  I miss having most of life in front of me.  I would probably do a few things different....study something else, eat healthier, wear sunscreen and spend more time with my grandparents.

5. We're roughly three quarters of the way through the year. What's one goal, habit, or mindset you want to purposely carry into the final weeks of the year? Elaborate. 

I want to carry the goal of keeping up walking most days and a mindset of being okay with being alone.  

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Happy Wednesday!
