Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

It's Wednesday ... and that means that it's time for some Hodgepodge.  Why not join in all the fun?  After you're done here, click on the button above to see what everyone has to say.

1. It was decided on Sunday the Denver Broncos will meet the Seattle Seahawks in this year's  Superbowl. So when was the last time you bowled? Not where you thought this question was going is it?  Do you like to bowl? Are you any good? 

I cannot remember the last time I "really" bowled ... about 18 months ago, we had a Wii bowling "tourney" when my sister was here. I do better at Wii bowling than I do with "real" bowling.   

2.   Should sports stars be role models? 

Should they?  No, in an ideal world, teachers, police officers, Sunday School teachers, and most importantly, parents would be role models for our kids. 

3. January is National Oatmeal month...are you a fan? How do you like your oats?

I'd like steel cut oats, with a little fruit (bananas, berries, or chopped apples), a dash of cinnamon, a few chopped walnuts and just a little brown sugar please. We used to have oats for breakfast regularly, but they're just too much work and take too long now that I've got early morning commitments (watching the Ts and walking with my neighbor on the mornings I don't have T duty). 

4. What is one book on your reading list for 2014?

I don't know that I even have a reading list ... I tend to spend my free time quilting, rather than reading these days. But I do look forward to reading the next book in the Psalm 23 mystery series. I hope that it will be published in 2014. 

5. What would you like your future self to say to your present self?

Keep walking ... our bones will thank you! 

6. When scrolling through the TV guide, what is one movie title that makes you want to stop, grab the popcorn, and watch for a while?

Casablanca. I love those old B&W classics. 

7. What are two style trends you hope never come back into fashion?

Bell bottom pants and leisure suits. 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

I had such a nice, relaxed Wednesday. We finished the jigsaw puzzle we bought on our trip to the Outer Banks in 2012. 

Forgive the glare - we finished it late in the afternoon, when the clouds overtook the sun, so I had to rely on indoor lighting.

I also got a good bit of quilting done. I finished the quilting here 

and moved the hoop 

It won't be too long until I can move the hoop again. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
