This weeks's hodgepodge

 


Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.  

1. Next Sunday is Grandparent's Day. Share a favorite memory, photo, recipe, or something you learned from a grandparent. 

My grandmother always said to take of my skin and to moisturise daily and stay out of the hot sun, if I wasn’t wearing a hat. She also told me to hand my daily troubles over to God before going to sleep.

2. What's a quote from a book \(besides The Bible) that has stayed with you? 

Can’t think of one

3. What's your number one food pet peeve?

People who tell me to just try it because they think I will like it, when I have clearly said no thank you, I’m not interested. 

4. What's one thing about you that is still the same as it was when you were young?

I couldn’t think of anything, so I asked my family and they all said my smile, so that’s what I’m going with.

5. September is National Preparedness Month...does your family have an emergency plan? Do you have some sort of preparedness kit you keep on hand? If so, tell us one thing that's kept there.

Emergency plan? Nope we don’t it isn’t something we have ever considered but where we live, we don’t get floods, bushfires, cyclones or anything else like that. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

So many of us live life in the fast lane rushing here and there and not taking the time to enjoy stuff, so it is important to at times to just slow down. To intentionality just stop for a bit and just sit and listen to the sound of a clock ticking, or the sound of birds outside your home.

    1. Hi Debby, yes I think smiles pretty much stay the same

  2. That is very wise advice from your grandmother!
    I am not a fussy eater but I know what I do and don't like to eat and people telling me to try something really annoys me.
    We don't have a plan either but I live in England where hurricanes, bushfires and massive floods don't really happen.

  3. That was wonderful advice from your grandmother. True, if you said no thank you they should respect that. Nice compliment on your smile. We don't have an emergency plan either. I like your random thought.

  5. I especially appreciated your grandmother’s advice about handing daily troubles over to God. It’s timeless wisdom that reminds us to trust Him with even the small worries.
