WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE

 

Questions for the Wednesday Hodgepodge
Here are the questions to this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge.  Answer on your own blog then hop back here tomorrow to join the party.  See you there!

1. It's a brand new month...share one thing you're looking forward to in October.

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner with my son and his family as well as my daughter and her husband.  I am also looking forward to travelling to South Carolina with D H, my sister and my daughter while we visit with my oldest daughter and my grandchildren,

2.  Is chivalry dead?  Explain.

I don’t think chivalry is dead however I think it is sometimes left behind and the younger generation needs to be taught it.


3.  On October 2, 1950 the Peanuts comic strip made its debut.  Which character is your favourite?  Which character is most like you?  (Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Shroeder, Snoopy, Woodstock, or Pig Pen)  If you need a description click here .

I think I am most like Lucy.  I am bossy and love to be in charge.

4.  What's something you're competitive about?

I am no longer competitive since being retired I can be me.

5. October is National Popcorn Popping Month...are you a fan?  How do you like your popcorn?

I love popcorn  D H air pops our popcorn and I eat it without salt or butter.  It was one thing I could have on a diet.


6.  When did you first realize the world is small?

I was in England in 1972. It was the year before I got married.  I took a course with other teachers.  While we were travelling between cities on a train we read our mail. One of the teachers and I discussed our letters from our family and we discovered that we had cottages on the same lake and had never met.


7.  In terms of architecture, what's the most beautiful building you've seen up close and in person?

I have seen many beautiful buildings on my travel however I would have to say that the CN tower in Toronto is in my view every day.


8.  Insert your own random thought here.

i can’t believe how fast this year is passing.  I had no idea I could be this busy and be retired.

I agree that when you travel you realize how we are all so much alike. It certainly makes us all feel like one, together sharing this world, wanting the same things in life.
This year is just flying by! It was nice to visit your blog today. It is always nice to meet a stranger and have so much in common with them or realize you're from the same area. Have a beautiful day!
I agree! June-September seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. I hope October lasts...it's one of my favorites. Enjoy your day!

We must be a little bit alike, since I chose Lucy too. Bossy, but loveable. :) Have a great day!

Where HAS this year gone?

I have to admit that I almost chose Lucy ... I can be a little bossy and crabby at times. ;-)
I can't wait until it's my turn to retire. It'll all come in God's time. So glad you are enjoying yours and staying busy.
So glad you are settling into retired life! Love your "small world" story! How awesome is that! Have a great day!
My recent post What is Beauty?
I enjoyed reading your answers. I too love the air popped popcorn, but I don't think I could eat it without a little salt on it, I can forgo the butter, but don't take my salt.
I think if I were retired I could find many things to do to keep me busy. I definitely don't have that problem when I have ME time.
You do have a lot to look forward too. I hope I am that busy when I retire!!
Air popped popcorn is such a great snack on a diet- you get so much for a serving.
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving too. That weekend is our 11th wedding anniversary too!
I loved your answer about it being a small world :)

Maybe I should have picked Lucy because your description fits me! It seems the older I get, the faster life flies by!
I resmeble Lucy, too.
My recent post What is Culture?
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. My son doesn't think mismatched socks are wacky, but normal since he rarely matches up his socks and I don't usually do it for him either. He "got in trouble" for being "not wacky" in Orioles clothes. :( I tried to warn him it might not "fly."
Does your busy schedule make you wonder how you used to fit working in your schedule? LOL
I'm most like Lucy, too, or so I've been told :)
I like my popcorn the same way, but I make sure I buy good kernels..big fat yellow ones, since I'm eating it naked, I deserve the quality that doesn't need the added stuff! :)
