Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. According to author Gary Chapman there are five love languages-words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. Which one is yours? 

Gifts and words.....After learning about the love languages years ago I realized this about myself and how helpful it is to know other people's love language too.  Through experiences with different people I have realized how much words help or hurt and how that is related to it being my love language.  As for gifts, I like receiving little surprises to show someone is thinking of me and know what I like.  I also like figuring out what my friends and family like and surprising them or finding something and getting it for them just because it made me think of them.

2. What are five foods you eat every day? 
This was hard cause I don't eat the same things every day!

- watermelon 
- tomatoes (when my Mom shares them from her garden)
- beef
- potatoes
- candy 

3. Five places you'd love to visit?
-Alaska again
-Tennessee (Smoky Mountains) again with all four of us (Last time we went was before Titus was born, we loved it so much and have always wanted to go back).
-Maine in fall
-Florida beach again with my husband 
- Cape Cod

4. Something you've done recently that deserved a 'high five'?

I felt pretty impressed with myself for making a quilt block with  a new pattern and picking the colors out myself.  I am going to add another dark green and see if I like it better or maybe keep both to make a quilt with 20 of the blocks.  

Also trying a new recipe that we liked!  It was porcupine meatballs!  This is the link to recipe I used.

5.  Give us five 5-letter words that describe your July. 

This makes me think of Wordle to come up with 5 letter words.  Do you play Wordle?

- books--We went to the library often and read a lot.

- banks--My husband left his job at the bank at the end of June.  We closed accounts at one bank and moved money to another.  Also I went by another bank to sign documents for school board but the documents weren't ready.  

- store-- School supply shopping and I do like to watch the ads this month as they put school supplies on sale.

- sleep--It's been nice to not have to be anywhere most days and be able to sleep and not set an alarm.

- quilt--On Thursday mornings I go over to quilt with my friend, teacher, and mentor.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  

Goodbye to July!  I'm not sure exactly how I will feel with August....no boy to be at football practice or watch in Friday night games this year.  Also he is turning 18 in August and starting fire academy!  Big month!

Have a day of blessings!
