Wednesday Hodgepodge

It’s Wednesday already.  Can you believe we’re already half way through another week … and almost halfway through October? 

1.  In what ways do you indulge yourself?

Occasionally I like to indulge in a bagel from St. Louis Bread Co. (aka Panera Bread Co.).  I do love Bread Co. and since it takes me a little while to get up and going in the mornings, I don’t mind not having to fix breakfast either. 

2.  Have you ever taken a cooking class?  Any interest?  What type of class would you most like to try?

I’ve never taken what I would consider a true cooking class … I did take a non-participatory cooking “class” at a local grocery store.  A gal prepared a meal, gave us the recipes and shared the finished results with us.  I wouldn’t mind taking a cooking class or two … I’m just not sure what type of class I’d be interested in.

3. What does it mean to be a good citizen?

A good citizen is someone who obeys the laws of the land and who respects the rights and privileges of citizenship. 

4.  'Tis the season of the political advert...do these ads influence your vote?

Only negatively.  The uglier the campaign, the less likely I am to vote for that candidate/proposition … and unfortunately, that rules out more and more candidates every election.  <sigh>

5.  What's something you see today that makes you wish you were a kid again?

I have to be honest and say that I haven’t seen much these days that would make me wish to be a kid again.  Not only am I quite content with my life right now, but the world has changed so much now, that being a child today can’t compare to the carefree freedom we enjoyed when I was a child (I remember being able to ride my bike all over for hours on end … something that I doubt if kids today are allowed to do).

6.  What's your least favorite cliché?

I’m not a fan of clichés, but I’m not sure that I could come up with a single one that I would say is my least favorite.

7.  What percentage of your Christmas shopping has been completed?  How does that make you feel?

0% … and it doesn’t bother me in the least.  I don’t start thinking about Christmas (including gifts) until after Thanksgiving. 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

It was pretty chilly onboard the riverboat yesterday, but we enjoyed the cruise. We cruised from 6:00-7:30 … unfortunately clouds moved in before sunset, so this was as close as I could get to a sunset on the river. 

 

Imagine the view from that home.  It was a shame that the trees hadn’t turned much yet … imagine how beautiful the bluffs would have been had the trees been various shades of red and yellow.

 

Forgive the quality of my photos … I neglected to bring my camera with me so I used my cell phone (which has a zoom feature that’s nice, but I’ve discovered that the quality of the photos using that feature aren’t as crisp and clear).
