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!
