Joyce provides the questions for the Hodgepodge and we all join in here. 1. May 20th is World Bee Day...what's something that's kept you 'busy as a bee' lately?
2. Do you like honey? What's something you make or enjoy that calls for honey?
I don't dislike honey but I'm not a huge fan and I can't think of anything I make that calls for it.
3. "Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body." Proverbs 16:24
What's a proverb you love, or one that speaks to you or has helped you in some way?
The Bible is full of Proverbs, a whole book in fact, if that helps with your answer. The word proverb is defined as 'a short pithy saying in general use, stating a general truth or piece of advice'.
Well I do possess a Bible but I couldn't quote you from it. I do like the one Joyce has quoted but I'd probably use that sentiment in the phrase "if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing".
4. Tell us about a 'sweet' moment in your life recently that filled you with joy, gratitude, or peace.
We had quite a good chat online with the Grandkids that are in the US at the weekend. They're only 4 and almost 7 so chats aren't usually lengthy but it is always good to be able to talk to them.
5. When you were a child, what did you want to 'be' when you grew up? How close did you come to that?
The only career I can remember seriously thinking about was to be a Radiographer. I was the swot that was good at Maths and liked Science at school lol.
I came nowhere close to that - I took my final exams at school, decided I'd had enough education and opted out of University. I found myself a job in an accounts department and didn't look back. I don't regret it as if I'd followed my original plans I wouldn't have met my lovely Hubby and had my family.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
On the theme of bees - my lavender plants are doing well and I love how they attract the bees!
Things have a way of working out when we view them in hindsight. I'm glad you had a nice chat with the kids. The distance is hard, but thankfully technology helps fill the gap. A little. Not the same I know but it's something. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI always feel like I am clearing my house of things that don't belong in it. My fella has a habit of bringing tools and what not from out of the garage. lol
ReplyDeleteAww! How lovely to have a chat with the Grandkids!
Hi Wendy, we are doing a deep dive in cleaning here.
ReplyDeleteOur son Sam is purchasing his first home. YAY! And in the mean time we can give him all the stuff we have stored for him .... Hee Hee.
I hope your lavender continues to do well.
Hi Wendy, I with you on cleaning things up and getting rid of what isn't needed. I love talking to my grandchildren too. This was a fun post. I am joining in on Hodge Podge a bit later today. See you then!
ReplyDeleteAbout three years back my daughters did a big clean up of my house and tossed out things they thought I would never use or that looked to them as too old and should be replaced and now there are things I go to get and find I no longer have the item and it is so annoying.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun to read and got me thinking. I'm neutral about honey, the only thing I make that I like it on is cornbread. My busyness has taken me away from home these past weeks, but I sure need to get busy at home now.
ReplyDeleteWe have one new bush in our small backyard. A lavender bush! I hope it does well and grows large...I think they are so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers. My grandkids are that age. So much fun.
