Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What does adventure mean to you? 

Adventure means doing something or visiting a place that you don't typically do.  It may be a little bit (or a lot) out of your "comfort zone" but could just be something out of the ordinary.  I guess I'm thinking with young children having an adventure can mean so many things that just add a little specialness to the day.  And they create memories together.

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)

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We are making more progress on the garage and boxes.  I am proud for what we are getting rid of as well and not keeping everything.  People ask me if we are settled in.....We are going at our own pace I guess so there are still boxes and messes everywhere. I continually have to remind myself of that and how much we have gotten done and not let myself feel I'm not doing enough or fast enough when I am asked this question.

Have a day of blessings!
