Hodgepodge Wednesday

1. Besides the flag, tell us about something red, something white and something blue from your weekend.

I wore one of my favorite white tops to church on Sunday, bought a blue and white tunic, and slept in animal print pjs with a red top.  Friday and Saturday were beautiful perfect Spring weather with sunshine and lower 70's. The lawn man planted more shrubs for me (which included red roses), I had lunch with friends, church and then Memorial Day was cool and very rainy. I spent the morning working at the thrift shop and the rest of the day at home.

2. June is here and it's National Give A Bunch of Balloons Month. Who would you give a bunch to if you could? Tell us why.

Since our grandkids are past the "balloon delights", I would give bunches of balloons to the  kiddos in my 4-5 year olds Sunday School Class. We will be having company later this month with four rowdy little ones, so it would be fun to give each of them a bunch of balloons. To all of them I would give the balloons simply for the joy it would bring!! (Although I really hate it when they let go and the balloon disappears to unreachable heights and then the delight is over!)

3. What are three adjectives you associate with the month of June? Something you're looking forward to this month?

Sunshiny days, sweet summer evenings, beautiful blooming roses. I'm planning a trip to Texas next week although it looks like another rainy week both here and there. My nephew and his family will be coming through here on their way to Colorado, so I'm looking forward to seeing them. Our seniors group is having a "pickleball social" and I am looking forward to trying this with a group of beginners!

4. Tell us about a time (besides the obvious Corona answer) when you felt stuck in second gear.

I might be in second gear right now. Although I'm content and have plenty to do, it may be that I am expecting too much too quickly, especially knowing I've reached an age where we know without a doubt that time is precious. I'm longing to make close friends I can spend time with. I know, I know, it takes time. It took 50 years to grow the deep friendships I've left behind ... not really. They're still my friends ... they just aren't close by. So thankful they are only a phone call away.

5. Sum up your May in fifteen words or less. 

My birthday month came and went too quickly for me, but May was still full of good things.

6. Insert your own random thought(s) here.

1. "Sunrise, sunset, swiftly go the years. One season following another, laden with happiness and tears!" 
2. A very random thought/confession here is I find myself eating way too much and also watching too much TV. 
3. And my dog knows there are bunnies living under our deck, so she wants to go out much more than she normally would. She thinks she can stare me down.

She sits by the window waiting.

Then she moves on over a little to get closer to the door.

She won't take her eyes off me until I let her outside.

Then she comes back in and expects a treat!
