Halloween, Hurricanes, and oh yeah...Hodgepodge Vol 100

It only seems appropriate that a hurricane should strike just as our Hodgepodge hits 100. Since I may very well be without power for a few days I'm writing this post a little bit early.  Rest assured, when it comes to the Wednesday Hodgepodge I'm like the post office...'Neither snow nor rain nor hurricanes nor power outages keep me from posting the questions every week'.   

I think that's how the saying goes.

We've been talking about hitting the #100 mark for several weeks now, and I've been feeling a little pressure to come up with something super creative.  Here's the thing...what I love most about the Hodgepodge is sharing the everyday ordinary of our lives.  In fact, that is the thing I love most about blogging in general.  Most of the questions asked and answered here every Wednesday offer small glimpses into our homes, refrigerators, closets, hearts, minds, and daily lives.  They are not grand in nature or scope.

In looking back over my life I have no trouble remembering the big stuff.  I write about it of course, but even if I didn't I'd still remember it.  The small stuff though, the stuff that makes up most of our everydays? I want somewhere to put that, and for me the Hodgepodge is such a place.  It's here we have the opportunity to record our personal tastes and opinions on everything from food to politics, share memories of days gone by, as well as our hopes and dreams for the future.  It's a place to write down the random little bits of life as it is lived.

Today in my little corner of the world the wind whips and the rain pelts.  We prepare as best we can and pray for the safety of everyone touched by the hurricane.  Maybe you live on the other side of the world, or just another part of the country,  and your mind is somewhere else today. Maybe you have small children and Halloween is on your mind. Wherever you are, whatever life is currently bringing your way, everyone who participates here is connected by a funny little thread called The Wednesday Hodgepodge.  And for that I'm grateful.

Here are this week's questions...Volume 100...yay us!
