Wednesday Hodgepodge
2. What are your thoughts on tipping? What businesses or service providers do you regularly tip? Do you resent being asked if you'd like to add a tip? What about when a suggested amount is presented?
I do not like it when tips are just expected. I want to give someone more if they do a better job and less if they don't provide good service. We tip at restaurants and for hair cuts and massages. I do not tip at fast food or drive thrus. I don't like them to ask me if I want to add a tip. The suggested amount is helpful, but I pick my own amount.
3. I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream...do we? Is ice cream a favorite treat at your house? What's your favorite flavor? Regular, soft serve, gelato, sherbet, or some sort of non-dairy version of ice cream...what's your pleasure?
Yes! I love ice cream and we all do at my house! There's a new ice cream shop here (Braums). We used to only get to have this treat on road trips, but now that there is one here we have it all the time!
I like chocolate chip or rocky road. Hot fudge sundaes are a favorite!
4. What's your 'back in my day, we____________________ ' story or saying?
Back in my day, we......
took pictures with cameras and had to get the film developed to see the pictures.
5. Somehow this is our last Hodgepodge in the month of June. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in July. Wow. Sum up your June using three adjectives.
educational (school board trip)
productive (unpacking boxes)
restful (not having an alarm to set for school)

2. Someone is sending you a dozen roses...what color are you hoping for? Are you someone who gets accused of seeing the world through rose colored glasses? Is your accuser correct? Elaborate.
How about pink! My husband has gotten me some pretty ones of various colors through the years.
I don't think I would get accused of she world through rose colored glasses very often.
3. June 4th is National Cheese Day...will you celebrate? What's something (besides a burger) you make in the summer months that calls for cheese?
I don't plan to celebrate cheese day. I do like cheese! We had queso on Mexican fiesta we made for our river trip. It's basically taco pile up.
4. 'tis the season...any weddings on your June calendar? What's the first word that comes to mind when I say marriage? We do not have any weddings to attend in June. We did already celebrate our anniversary this month! 24 years.
The first word that comes to mind when I hear "marriage" is frienship.....because my husband is my best friend. Other words: cherish, committment, God's design, love.
5. What are you most looking forward to this June?
Getting boxes unpacked and getting rid of more stuff as we get more settled in our home.
