Wednesday Hodgepodge




1. I live in the south so we're pretty much only talking about the weather right now. Give us a weather report from where you live. Does the kind of weather you're having today affect your mood in some way? 
We've been home since last Friday night.  We've had ice and snow.  Thankfully we have not lost power.  School has been out through today.  The roads have cleared on the highways I've heard but the city streets were not clear so no school today.  The sun is shining and I'm seeing a lot melt.  

Seeing the snow covered yard is peaceful to me.  



2.  Avocados, kale, cauliflower and cottage cheese have all had their time to shine. 2026 brings us the year of the cabbage. Is this a vegetable you like? If so, what are some of your favorite dishes that call for cabbage?  

I will eat it but it's not something I buy to cook myself.  

3. Was a Cabbage Patch Doll a part of your childhood? Or maybe your children's childhood? What's a toy trend from your childhood you remember wanting for your own? 

I remember I won a pair of twin Cabbage Patch dolls...a girl and a boy.  

I had a lot of Barbie things and enjoyed playing with those and setting them up.  I can't think of a toy trend I wanted in childhood.  I'm sure there was something.  

4. Something you've spent a lot of time doing lately? 

Wearing pajamas and being inside!  

5. Somehow it's the last week of January...sum up your month in just three sentences. 

A new year meant new plans and goals for 2026.

We have felt heavy hearted because of the death of a church friend.  

We had lots of time indoors together because of the weather.  

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I like being at home so I haven't minded being here so many days in a row.  I'm thankful we didn't lose power.  We've had more than enough food and have been warm and cozy.  

Have a day of blessings!

You must live in a southern state if your schools were closed all week. Up here in eastern NY? what's measly 14 inches? our schools were right back in session as of Tuesday morning. Yup, single digits and all. We're pretty hearty up here :)
I enjoyed your answers to this week's hodgepodge.

I am glad you have kept power what a worry.
I used to love my Barbie dolls.
Sending love and hugs. I am so sorry about your church friend.

Wearing pjs and being inside - sounds good to me! You have a huge yard! it looks so pretty with the sin shining on the snow.

Glad to hear that your weather is better now. That's pretty awesome that you won those twin Cabbage Patch dolls. Wearing PJ's and being inside sounds comfy to me. So sorry about the death of your friend. Yes, I'm glad you didn't lose power. Take care.

Glad your weather is better - schools here have been closed all week because of the cold, which I understand. I bet it's a challenge for the parents who have to either stay home from work or arrange childcare though. My DIL works from home so they had it figured out for my granddaughter.
I would have loved to stay home in my PJs more this week - it wasn't a fun week to go out to work!
Hope you're staying warm and having a great week!

It's snowing here today and we have about two inches on the ground. That's a lot for South Carolina! And temps are in the 20's which are crazy. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Take care.
