Wednesday Hodgepodge

It's time for Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce, who blogs at From This Side of The Pond.  Each week she'll pose some questions for us to answer. What a great way to journal life.

1. Last time you were 'dressed to the nines'? Maybe for my daughters wedding, I'm not really a dressed to the nines kind of person..I like to look nice and dress up, but it has to be comfortable. 

2. Something recently that had you on 'cloud nine'? Probably our 10 day vacation through the NE States! Definitely had me on cloud nine. 

3. Tell us about a time, circumstance, experience, or decision you made where the saying 'a stitch in time saves nine' proved true. Well, perhaps when we noticed we had a water leak we took care of it right away before it became a bigger deal. 

4. A recipe you make that calls for exactly nine ingredients? I have absolutely no idea. Okay, I found one, and realized I need to update recipes on the blog. This creamy herb dip is always a hit when I bring it to gatherings. 

5. This coming Friday is Veterans Day in the US of A. Will you mark the day in some way? I will be working all day. Are you a veteran? I am not a veteran but have many family members who are. If you live outside the US does your country have a day dedicated to celebrating veterans? 

I had a few pictures of my dad and grandpa from Veterans Day but I can't find them. This photo was of my youngest daughter in front of the remembrance wall in Vancouver, Wa honoring veterans from WW2 through Vietnam war. It was one of her senior photos. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.  It's Wednesday so heading to babysit soon. I've been under the weather and finally feeling almost back to normal except for an irritating dry cough. I just had a cold and it wasn't horrible but had me sleeping on the recliner for a week. Uggh.

I mentioned above working on posts from our NE states trip. I have 3 done so far. 

1. NE States Road Trip Part 1...Planning, Prep and travel day 

2. NE States Road Trip Part 2...Day 2 Southeastern NH and Maine

3. NE States Road Trip Part 3...Day 3, Maine and New Hampshire

It's been fun creating the posts, but boy I realized I needed to be documenting a whole lot more than I did. 

My oldest daughter turns 27 this weekend. Wow. Where does the time go. We aren't celebrating though til December...just not a lot of open slots so we'll celebrate hers and mine on December 10th. She is getting together with friends this weekend and asked if I'd make a batch of chicken wings so I'll be doing that. 

With Joy Unquenchable,

Kirstin
