A Brainy Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge. I'm still in a sling, but have better use of my hand this week so am back to blogging. If you've answered today's questions add your link at the end of my post, then leave a comment for the blogger before you. Kindness always counts. 

Here we go-

1. Thursday (Oct 13) is National Train Your Brain Day. What do you do to keep your brain in tip top shape? Is it helping?

I try to 'exercise' my brain on a regular basis. I read a lot, work puzzles, and play games that fall under the category of 'brain training'. Is it helping? I hope so! 

2. You can sit with anyone in the world and 'pick their brain'...whom do you choose? Tell us why? 

Elon Musk. He's intelligent, interesting, and unpredictable. 

3. What's something happening in the world (or your corner of it) right now that you have trouble 'wrapping your brain around'? 

Black holes, the space-time continuum, the depth of God's love, the vastness of the universe...

4. On a scale of 1-10 where do you fall in the pumpkin fanclub? (1=blech, 10=make it all pumpkin all the time) Tell us something delicious you've tasted recently that had some pumpkin in it somewhere. 

Pumpkin flavored anything is generally just eh for me. I don't go out of my way to order something pumpkin and I am not a fan of flavored coffee of any kind, so no pumpkin spice lattes for me. I did make a pumpkin french toast casserole recently for our overnight guests and it was delicious. The pumpkin flavor in this particular dish is subtle. 

5. Share a favorite song, book, or movie with an autumn title, setting, or vibe. 

song-The Boys of Fall by Kenny Chesney (love the video too!)

book-I always enjoyed reading Lois Ehlert's Red Leaf ,Yellow Leaf to my kindergarten students every fall.

movie-When Harry Met Sally...not sure exactly what qualifies as a fall movie, but there is a scene in this particular film set in the NYC autumn and it gives me all the fall feels.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My niece and her husband celebrated their one-year anniversary this past weekend and we decided to make it a family affair. 

All my sibs and their spouses came to town, along with my nephew and my mom. It's always special when she has all her kids in the same place at the same time. 

The weather was lovely and we enjoyed sharing meals, boating, a birthday, the anniversary, lake time, skiing, and lots of laughs. 

Happy Wednesday everyone!
