A Sensible Hodgepodge

How can it be that another Wednesday is already upon us? Time is truly speeding by so quickly these days. But it is what it is and another Wednesday means it's time for fun with the Hodgepodge questions from Joyce. Thank you, Joyce, for the great questions each week.

1. What would you say is your strongest sense?

Definitely not smell! I was always the one who didn't "scents" when the babies had dirty diapers. It therefore stood to reason that I would be the one least bothered by changing them!

I think my sense of touch.

2. Do you believe in the idea of a 'sixth sense'? Yes.
Why or why not? I think it's intuition.

3. When do you most feel like a slave to time? In the mornings.

Explain. Mornings are my favorite time of day and very precious to me. I really like having a couple of hours in the morning to drink coffee, read my Bible and pray, so I make it a point to arise early each day to allow for that. However, it seems lately that I'm a slave to the times set by others, i.e., most mornings are when doctor appointments, Bible studies or other appointments are invariably scheduled and I have to get in the shower, get ready, fix breakfast for DH and do the rush around.

4. Have you ever worked in a restaurant? No.
How would you rate the experience? If you could own a restaurant what kind would it be?
A tea room/bakery might be fun.

5. Ever traced your family tree?  No, but my Grandad did.
Share something interesting you learned there.

That the first of the Leverich line came over as a missionary to Indians and that there was some connection to Ben Franklin's family ... I don't remember how and it doesn't matter enough to me to check it out. The family tree is interesting, but I'm not interested in tracing it down myself. It has been in the back of my mind though to do a DNA test to see what the mix is in my family as I have a blood disorder which is found in people of Mediterranean descent. I would be interested to find out about that.

6. What did your childhood bedroom look like?

Our bedroom was simple. Flowered wallpaper, hardwood floors, a bedspread of some kind, the piano and a dresser. My sister and I shared the room and the double bed. When I was 12, we moved to a new house and our bedroom had blue walls, white curtains, a white chenille bedspread with pink and blue floral design. New bed and new dresser. Very small and therefore again, very simple.

7. Anyone who knows me knows I love_______________________?

Jesus, my family, and CHOCOLATE!!

Or just give me a bag of these!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Do you ever wish you could do a redo or undo in life? 

Our fun weekend activities ended on a sour note as we left the class reunion on Saturday. A car pulled out in front of me causing me to slam on the brakes and be rear ended. Bummer. The plus is the guy who hit us was very polite and so we were able to exchange information without any drama. Now we have to go through the business of car repairs and it's a big inconvenience. Wishing we had stayed at the reunion a few minutes longer ... or left earlier ... Or maybe not gone at all. Blah, blah, blah. Wah-wah.
