Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. I write the Hodgepodge questions so they'll post on Sunday, which sometimes throws me off in terms of what day it is. St. Patrick's Day will be celebrated on Monday, March 17th. Did you mark the day in some way? Wear green? Make a special meal? Watch or participate in a parade? 

I wore green to my school board meeting.  I didn't do anything else to celebrate.  

2. Do you think luck plays a part in your life? Explain. 

No, I always say I'm blessed not lucky.  

3. Of the 15 green foods listed, which one is your favorite and how do you like it prepared? Any on the list that are a hard no for you? In general do you like fruits and veggies? As a kid did you eat them willingly or did you hide peas in your napkin hoping your momma wouldn't see? 

Asparagus, avocado, broccoli, celery, cucumber, grape, green bean, kale, kiwi, lettuce, lime, 

pear, peas, pistachios, spinach

My favorite green food on this list is broccoli.  (I was going to say Brussels sprouts but that's not on here!) I like broccoli steamed or raw in broccoli salad.

I do love fruits and veggies.  I enjoyed them as a kid and picking them from the garden.  

4. What's something that makes you 'turn green'? (with envy or with illness... whichever way you want to run with it)
It sickens me to hear of chidren who are mistreated or neglected. 

5. Did you spend a lot of time outdoors as a child? Doing what? Do you spend a lot of time outdoors now? Doing what? 

As a child I remember walks or bike rides with my Dad.  Also I liked to ride my bike up and down our driveway and around our circle.  I spent time outside in pretend play.  If we went fishing I always took a book along to read.

As an adult I do not spend a ton of time outside.  I do go on walks in our neighborhood and am outside for baseball practice in this season of life or playing basketball on the driveway with my son.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

It's been a bit since I did the Hodgepodge so I'll do an update. We closed on our new house at the end of February.  Repairs and updates are in progress.  Our house was listed on March 9.  We had two requests for showings that day and then 2 offers.  By Thursday we'd accepted an offer.  Now we are in the option period.  

Have a day of blessings!
