February 26th is National Tell A Fairy Tale Day...have you read

No, I haven’t read any lately, although I have
heard a few like when any politician says they will do this or that.

A long time ago, in my parent’s lounge-room, I met
the love of my life, my soul mate, Tim the date was 9 June 1983.

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)
Porridge, I have it often during the winter months
What's your idea of fun?
Having a family lunch with my siblings is fun or
one with my daughters.
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.
Ok I can’t use the words cold or snowy, how about
hot and sticky, or maybe muggy or humid. These words describe my February as
does, happiness and birthdays.
Insert your own random thought here.
Many of us have known each other a longish time
and I feel connected to many. Visiting blogs often make me feel happy, and they
bring memories to the surface, they make me laugh and that feels good. I may
get angry over what I read, not with the blogger but with the situation they
have described. Visiting blogs helps me learn about different things and
learning is good, even if schools often teach useless information and not how
to manage cooking meals, balancing a budget and shopping to save money.
A long time ago (1969) I was at a university conference in Ballarat and noticed 3 men around a bridge table, waiting for a fourth player. I joined in, loving the bridge and admiring my (unknown) partner's face, red hair and intellect.
ReplyDeleteHe went back to Sydney after the conference.. but we married a year later :)
I still really enjoy blogging and reading blogs and have also learned a lot. Lunch with my daughters is a fun thing for me too. So glad you've joined in the Hodgepodge from your side of the world. Hope you have a nice week!
ReplyDelete:) I like visiting the blogs too.
ReplyDeleteI have learned so much from you, Jo-Anne, and am so thankful to call you a blogging buddy. Blessings!
