A Hodgepodge Picnic

 


The Hodgepodge lands on National Picnic Day...will you celebrate? Do you enjoy picnics? Dining out of doors picnic or otherwise? What are three or four things I'd find in your picnic basket? 

I do not remember the last time I went on a picnic; it was a really long time ago and I have never really enjoyed eating outside. Things you would find in my picnic basket, salt & pepper, tomato & BBQ sauce, plates & cutlery.

A time recently where you felt 'antsy'? 

I can’t remember

As the saying goes...'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'  Do you like lemonade? When did you recently need to make lemonade out of lemons, speaking figuratively?

Never made lemonade not even figuratively, because when life gives me lemons, I figuratively pick them up and throw them at stuff.

Recently five 'celebrities' made a brief (ll minute) foray into space aboard Jeff Bezos Blue Origin rocket. Did you hear about this? Your thoughts? If money were no object is this something you'd like to do someday? 

Yes, I heard about this and thought what a waste of money, so no not something I would do.

Favorite thing about the 'space' you're sitting in right now? 

Sitting here I can see the tv, out the front door, photos on the walls and feel the cool breeze

Insert your own random thought here.

In order to have a happy life you need a positive outlook more then a negative one, when you always look for the negative it is harder to find joy in anything. I am a positive person, and I am happy far more then I am sad.

  1. Ha ha on the lemons. 🍋 I can’t say I have actually thrown a lemon. I remember throwing eggs…
    You have always struck me as a positive person.

    1. Throwing them would be a good way at reliving stress.
      I try to be positive
