Wednesday Hodgepodge



1. April is National Jazz Appreciation Month. Are you a fan? If so what's a favorite you'd recommend to someone new to jazz listening?
I don't mind it, but it isn't my favorite.


2. Mandolin, ukulele, harp, accordion or banjo...which would you be most interested in learning to play? Or do you already play one of the instruments listed?
I will say harp because I love the sound.


3. Do you judge a book by it's cover? Elaborate. You may answer in either/both the literal or figurative sense of the word.

Yes, I do.  When I am at the library I may see a book I like the title on the spine, but then if I pull it out and don't really like the cover, I will put it back.
I also know I judge people too often from the first impression before I get to know them or sometimes before I know anything about them.
I know I've been wrong about books and people before!

4. According to a recent study the ten most nutritious foods are-almonds, cherimoya (supposed to taste like a cross between a pineapple/banana), ocean perch, flatfish (such as flounder and halibut), chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, swiss chard, pork fat (shocking! but I don't think they mean bacon), beet greens, and red snapper. Are any of these foods a regular part of your diet? Any you've never ever tasted? Which would you be most inclined to add to your diet?No, I do not eat any of these.  Almonds is probably the only one I've eaten on this list, maybe pumpkin seeds.  

5. Besides a major holiday what is the most recent thing you've celebrated with your people? Tell us how.We had Titus' 3rd birthday party this last weekend.  He will be 3 tomorrow!  He wanted a train birthday.  Here is his cake made by my Mom.  



We'd invited family and friends to a party at the park at 10:30....well a cold front came and dropped the temperature from the 70s during the week to 30 degrees on Saturday.  We went ahead and had a very quick party before heading to my Mom's house for lunch with the family.  It turned out fine.  

6. Insert your own random thought here.
I typed this up and didn't publish it!  So I will a day late. 

We have had a nice week celebrating our boy.....Today is his 3rd birthday!!



Have a day of blessings! 
Bethany

I think a harp would be fun to try. A book cover will grab my attention but the description must sell me too. I think we are born to judge or maybe just the world has changed us to be judgmental. Titus's cake is adorable. Glad he had a nice party.
