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. What's something you're curious about right now? 

2. If you could plan the perfect girl's weekend getaway, where would you go and what would be on the agenda? I would go to a place that had lots of little shops, coffee shops, cafes, and places to enjoy the outdoors. I'd love to spend time walking around, or staying in and playing games, cooking together, reading. Do you have anything like this on your calendar in the next few months? Well, funny this question comes up..I've never done "girl weekends". I've done a few ladies retreats but nothing like what I envision a girls weekend. 3 HS friends and I were chatting (we have a group messenger chat) the other day. One of them moved to Idaho a few years ago. In our chat she sent us a map and said "just in case anyone ever wanted to take a road trip"...I piped up saying "I'd take a road trip", to which one of the other gals said "lets do it. Lets get it on the calendar". So in July it looks like I'm taking a road trip for a girls weekend. I'm not sure what we'll do but I'm looking forward to it. 

3. What's the most unique item in your refrigerator right now? I could say sourdough starter but many might have that. I'm going with this sauce that my hubby bought at the farmers market a few weeks ago. 

4. In this season of your life, what do you find most challenging? Exercising, losing the weight I gained in the last year and a half, dealing with Peri-menopause. 

5. Do you collect anything? Not really. I suppose I collect things I love. I used to collect things with apples on them. When I first got married my kitchen was geese..I had a few patterns and I loved it. If so why that? I don't completely remember what caused me to like those things I collected. Perhaps I just saw some things and was drawn to them. I do love Cardinals, and have a few things in my home decor with them on it, mostly at Christmas, I have a few art pieces and I have a small window stained glass thing that I love but I wouldn't say I collect them. I do love cookbooks and if I had more room I'd buy more, especially old ones.  

6. Insert your own random thought here. I won't write much today. I have 2 posts I need to write for my BKD cookbook club and the WYOBS party and I haven't started either of them. But I have time tonight since no one will be home and my hubby had to drive up to Seattle for work for the night. I'll spend the night writing posts and reading, and maybe getting around to commenting on all of your posts before the next Hodgepodge...haha. I've worked 2 of the 3 days this week and they were both kind of wonky days with technology acting up, interesting people and I look forward to a quiet house. Yesterday I had the grandkids which is always fun, but also busy. 

With Joy Unquenchable,
