Welcome once again
to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4
Here are this week's
questions
Welcome back to
another Tuesday 4 in honour of Toni Taddeo it's founder.
It's time again for
Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and this week our friend Susan suggested the topic of
decorating our homes for the holidays, especially for the 4th of July as it is
the USA's 250th birthday. So, let’s do that.
On July 4, 1776 America
declared their independence from the British Empire and King George III when
the First Continental Congress set forth the Declaration of Independence.
America became a
free and sovereign, independent nation on
September 3,
1783
1. Will or have you
decorated for the holiday? If you don't reside in the USA, do you have a
special holiday you decorate for on the outside of your home?
In
Australia it isn’t something most do
2. What special
little touches do you add to the outside of your home? Do you enjoy
puttering around in your yard?
I’m
not one for puttering around the yard
3. Are plants and
shrubs an important part of your house decor?
Not
for me
4. On which
holidays do you spend time decorating either inside, outside or both?
Christmas
of course, I love Christmas.
Hi everyone I am
taking part in sharing my world again here are this week’s questions and
answers, which I found here: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2026/06/15/sharing-my-world-29th-june-2026/
Here are this week’s
questions:
1. What currency is used in your country?
We use the Australian dollar
2. If you
travel to a different country, do you rely on card payments, or get some local
currency in cash?
We prefer to us that country currency but have a card if needed.
3. Do you buy souvenirs for yourself or family?
Yes I always buy souvenirs
4. When using
an unfamiliar currency, are you aware of how much you are spending in your own?
Nope
don’t give it a thought
Gratitude:
Hi everyone, here is
the latest hodgepodge
http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-660.html
1. What do you love
most about your country?
I feel
that over all things are done right and people are generally treated with
respect
2. Your favorite
patriotic song?
The
first song that came to mind was “We are Australian”
3. Red, white, or
blue? Stars or stripes? Something you own besides a US flag with some
combination of those colours or decorations as part of its design?
I don’t
have anything, but I am an Aussie
4. What's one thing
you want more of this summer: fun, rest, adventure, connection, quiet, or
confidence? Elaborate.
Time
spent with family followed by time spent alone
5. What was your
ultimate, go-to summer activity when you were a kid? Do you still do any
version of that today? If you answered yes, does participating in this activity
as an adult make you feel like a kid?
Can’t
think of anything, as a child I spent most of my time either outside playing or
sitting and reading a book.
6. Insert your own
random thought here.
There
is a quiet kind of happiness found in time spent with family. It lives in the
familiar voices around the table, the shared laughter over small memories, and
the comfort of being with people who know your story.

item was popular when you were a child that no longer seems to be readily
