2. Have you visited many (or any) of the US Presidents homes, monuments, libraries or related sites? If so what's been your favorite? Are there any you particularly want to see? Here's a link to presidential sites listed by state which is kind of fun to read-Presidential Places by State. And since several bloggers who participate in the HP each week live outside the US, here's a link to Presidential Places Outside the US. Have you seen any of those?
Well we've visited Washington and seen many of the monuments there and I've also seen the Presidential Statues that are in London's Trafalgar Square but looks like I should take a trip to Grosvenor Square to see more.
3. February 20th is National Cherry Pie Day...will you celebrate? Given your choice of cherry pie, cherry cobbler, cheesecake with a cherry topping, or black forest cake which would you choose?
I will absolutely not be celebrating - still trying to lose the extra pounds that went on over Christmas lol.
If I had to choose it would be cheesecake with a cherry topping thank you.
4. Last time you worked a puzzle of some kind? Something that had you puzzled recently?
I am always doing puzzles - I have a subscription to the NYT puzzle section so I Wordle, Crossword, spell etc most days. I'm also a great fan of Japanese style puzzles - Sudoku, Kakuro etc.
I'm also doing this one each day:
The Puzzle I find most annoying though is the missing .......(insert any item of clothing as appropriate.) You know it has to be in the house somewhere.........
5. Of the early blooming flowers (January-early March depending on your zone) which one's your favourite?
snowdrops, lenten roses, pansies, violets, snapdragons, reticulated iris, crocus, winter jasmine
I'd have to say snowdrops from that list and maybe crocus, too early for the others
Do you have any of these in your own yard/garden?
No I don't but once daffodils and tulips are in the shops I will buy some to have in the house.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I should have put this for #4.
I love the fact that I can buy postage online and then arrange for a package to be collected. I found a couple of "Where's Wally?" style books that I wanted to send over to the Grandsons so I packaged them up, sorted out the postage and arranged for collection on Monday.
There were 3 of us in the house ALL Day! Yet not one of us heard the postman call at 12.49 pm. How?
Hopefully he'll come today. There's a note by the doorbell!
So annoying when that happens with deliveries/pickups! I always loved seeing the snowdrops in England. We don't have any in this yard, but did have some in our NJ garden which were lovely. My house is not put together at the moment either. Trying to just roll with it, but look forward to a big clean once the kids are settled into their own home. It's temporary and I have to remind myself of that regularly. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your hodgepodge answers. ONE DAY I WILL get to London. It's on our bucket list!! My husband worked for 6 months in a place called Crawley?? I think i spelled it correctly. That was years ago when we were newlyweds. He loved working in England. I had to stay here with my 3 yr old daughter. There are so many things i want to see in London.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good day!
Good luck with sorting your house, it sounds like a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteOh! I never thought of the Wordle puzzle, I still do that every day.
Good luck with the postman. I hope your parcel gets collected.
Oh goodness about the postman. That has happened to me once or twice as well.
ReplyDeleteThinking Spring here. ;-)

Disarray in the home totally frazzles me, too. I liked your answer for missing items being a puzzle. We still talk about things that "disappeared" during our move. . . 10 years ago! haha Time to let go.
ReplyDeleteYeah those items we know must be in the house somewhere but cannot be found are so annoying, I am lucky that most of the people who drop of deliveries here are willing to open the door and either hand me the package or if it's large will place it on the floor in front of the telly, so I don't have to struggle getting out of my armchair.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers...that wood puzzle looks interesting. I do the free NYT puzzles...and I do wordle and connections with my aunts.
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting that you can arrange to have packages picked up. I suppose they do that here (I guess but really don't know) but I'm still sending hubbie to the post office. He is actually running that errand just now. Maybe there is a better way......hmmm.
