Wednesday Hodgepodge - 10/1/24

Joyce provides the questions for the Hodgepodge each week - for more info and to see who else is playing go here.

1. What's a change you'd like or need to make this year? 

I want to get out and about more and make better connections with extended family and friends.

2. Break the ice, on thin ice, ice skating, tip of the iceberg, ice cold...which icy idiom applies to your life right now? Explain. 

Ice cold.  We had lots of rain last week but it was quite mild for the time of year.  This week it really feels like winter - we had flurries of snow on Monday and I had to scrape ice off the car this morning.  Brrrrrr

3. What's a project you've been putting off? Will you get to it this month? This year?

Registering with a local dentist and getting my teeth checked out.  I really want to do this month, well I mean I don't WANT to - who enjoys going to the dentist?  But it's something I know must be done.  My teeth aren't giving me any problems at the moment but I don't want to find myself in an emergency situation.

4. Of the fruits that grow well in winter which ones have you tried? Which is your favorite? 

pomegranates, clementines, persimmons, passion fruit, pears, grapefruit, lemons, pomelos, kumquats

I am not a great fruit eater and probably wouldn't eat any of those. (It's a texture thing and yes I know that's weird.)

5. What do you think it means to be courageous? 

Doing something even if it scares you half to death.  Standing up for what you believe in, despite the possible consequences.

6. Insert your own random thought here.   

I am not a courageous person!

  2. Well you do care for all those grands from time to time and that's no small thing lol. I have a dental appointment this month, one of my least favorite 'to-do's but I just keep booking them out every four months and that forces me to go. Have a nice week!

  3. It's ice cold here right now, too.
    About the vest, if you really want to knit it, I could scan it and email you the pattern.

  4. We are ice cold here in our neck of the woods. I like your definition of courage. Happy 2024 to you and yours.

  5. Dentists. I've been putting mine off for a year now. Sigh. I do like fruit and it is strawberry season here in central Florida!! Enjoy the rest of the week!

  6. You remind me that I am due for a dental check-up and I need to make an appointment. I eat fruit as part of my breakfast each morning. See you again soon!

    1. That's a good way to start the day. We often have a cooked breakfast - some form of egg, bacon etc but maybe I could try adding apple juice. Better than nothing I guess lol

  7. I enjoyed reading your post. We, too, are having cold temperatures. Is there anyone who enjoys going to the dentist, lol?
