Wednesday Hodgepodge

Joining Joyce at From this side of the Pond

1.  This week marks the beginning of Lent...will you be giving something up or adding anything to your life during this season of the year? 

I usually add to my life during this time and try to give up something. Basically try to be a better version of me during this time. 

2. The day before Lent is Shrove Tuesday... tradition states you eat pancakes on this day. In some parts of the world Shrove Tuesday is actually known as 'pancake day'. How do you like your pancakes? Or don't you? 

I always thought it was Fat Tuesday! I certainly indulged a little yesterday. I like pancakes but would rather have french toast. 

3.  I'm sure there are many, but what's one love song you really love?

Hard to pick one...I'm really loving Bruno Mars lately....It will rain 

Also Michael Buble....Haven't met you yet

4.  What are some things you do to let others know you love them?

Tell them, show them by doing little things for them....cooking for them, respecting them...it's all so easy.

5.  Roses...red, pink, or do you prefer another color? Can you recall the last time someone gave you flowers? Given your choice would you like to open the door and see a dozen red roses, a dozen purple tulips, or a dozen pink peonies?

Love red....but tulips in any color are nice too and peonies.....all time favorite! Any thing but a carnation!

6.  President's Day will be celebrated in America next Monday. Does US Presidential history and trivia interest you?  Many Presidential homes are open to the public and offer guided tours...Monticello (Jefferson's home), Mount Vernon (Washington's home), Montpelier (James Madison's home), Hyde Park (FD Roosevelt's home) andThe White House (home to the sitting President) to name just a few. Of those listed which would you be most interested in touring?  Why?

The White House for sure......why? Why not...it's the White House...plus Michelle Obama has amazing style I'd love to see how she mixed new with old. 

7.  Are you good at keeping secrets?

Depends on the secret.....

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

Opinions......why is it only some people can have them and if you don't agree with them people hold it against you.....deep thoughts I know! Taking deep breaths these days.....
