WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE

 

1. What's the best and worst thing thing about growing older?

The best thing about growing old is you are wiser and now that I am retired I can do want I want. The worst about growing old is keeping up with the younger generation.


2.   Autumn arrives this week in the Northern Hemisphere...what one thing do you love most about the fall season?

I really love walking in the cooler weather and kicking up the fallen leaves.


3.  Speaking of fall...pumpkin seems to be flavouring everything these days-are you a fan?   What's your favourite pumpkin flavoured food or beverage?

I love pumpkin.  I have eaten it in muffins, ice cream cake and pie of course.


4.  Since we're on the subject of fall...what's the worst fall you've ever taken?

The worst fall I ever took was when I was in grade 9.  I was chasing an Indian rubber ball on a asphalt/cinder service.  I broke my arm and scraped my knees.  The worst part was that I was supposed to be watching my younger sister and my neighbour took me to the hospital.  My mother was furious.


5.  If you could own a prop from any film what would you choose?

I would love to have a prop from “Gone with the Wind”.


6. What's the most interesting word you've read or learned in the past week?

I haven’t read anything out of the ordinary this week.


7. When was the last time you locked yourself out of your house, car, or office?  Was it a big deal?

It has been a very long time since I locked myself out of my car or my house.  It must be at least 35 years ago.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

As you can tell from my answers I am old and don’t get around as much. I love blogging and it has certainly made my life more interesting.  Thanks to my daughter and son-in-law for linking me up.

I'm glad you joined in today. Love your blog title! My hubs would say he's tired not retired but wishes it were the other wat around : ). Thank you for the birthday wishes!
That word should be 'way'. Those little typos can make me nuts : )

Gone with the Wind is my favorite movie, too ... surprised I didn't think of a prop from that movie. ;-)
Gone with the Wind! Yes! That was my answer too.

ouch! That sounds a lot more painful than my fall ;( And yes my grandpa taught me bunny ears, and not the loop around the tree. I still can't do that.. lol
I would love to have something from Gone With the Wind! Like maybe, Tara! : )

I love your answer to #2. I can't wait to put on a pair of high boots, grab my camera and take a walk through a carpet of fallen leaves.

I love "Gone With the Wind"...such a classic, romantic movie!
Reading about you fall made me cringe and I think a prop from Gone with the Wind would be really cool. Love that movie and book!
So glad you joined us today. I always have a good time trying to figure out my answers to Joyce's questions each week!

Yes, I'll agree with you--a prop from Gone With the Wind would be neat to have!
I was noticing in your "About Me" that you and DH are ballroom dancers! Yay! That is about one of my favorite things in the world. I'll be back often. :)

WEll, welcome to Hodgepodge. It 's so nice to meet you. You will find that blogging buddies are the BEST! Thanks for stopping by!
I really love taking walks and kicking up the leaves too! I love to see the leaves fall. Don't they look like they're dancing to a song that only they can hear?

I love the tittle of your blog, so cute. Blogging is a lot of fun, I enjoy it a lot and it gives me something to do when my hubby takes over the tv.
I'm glad your daughter and SIL hooked you up to blogging. It's a great way to get to 'know' other bloggers...and we retirees need to have that outlet sometimes. Oh yes...gone with the wind...GREAT movie!!!!
My recent post ...it's true!!! Up on the Great Divide...
You BLOG...that's awesome...you are totally keeping up with the younger generation. People I know that are retired...well...let's just say they aren't technologically inclined. HA! Thanks so much for the comments on my blog...it really brightens my day!
Oooo....Gone With the Wind! I didn't even think of that. A prop from it would be awesome.
Thank you for stopping over. So nice to meet you. I am following you. That sounds like a bad fall you had. So did they just leave your sister unattended when they took you to the hospital? Love you random. I have COPD and stay home a lot. (although a new medication is working great for me since Feb.) Anyway blogging changed my life three years ago. I know exactly what you mean.

No We took my sister to the hospital with me. The neighbour's son told my Mom where we were.
