Welcome to the end of July and this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge. If you've answered today's questions add your link at the end of my blog, then leave a comment for the blogger before you.
Here we go-
My love of jelly beans, words, going barefoot, and getting lost for hours in a good book.
2. Did you know July is beans month? What's your favorite bean? Your favorite recipe that calls for beans? When it comes to chili are you team beans or team no beans?
I'm assuming jelly beans don't count teehee. I like all beans but green beans are my favorite. I'm not sure I have a favorite bean recipe, but I do make a white bean soup that's really tasty. I put beans in my chili which is my preference, but I like it without too.
3. Some historical figures have a tag line after their name, something like 'the brave' or 'the wise' or 'the mad'...what would your tag line be? Explain why?
This was harder than I thought it would be. How about Joyce the overthinker? Joyce the reluctant adventurer? Joyce the dreamer...I like that one.
4. The way to my heart is______________________________.
Small thoughtful acts, kind words, and a gentle tone.
5. The calendar rolls into August this week, but before we go give us four adjectives that describe your July.
joyful, noisy, active, sun-kissed
6. Insert your own random thought here.
After the kids left last week hubs started to put away all the baby related gear. Not so fast please.
An impromptu Round 2 happened this week.
Daughter2 was at her in-laws this past weekend, helping host a baby shower for a high school friend of her hubs. We're more or less the halfway point in her drive to/from, so she stopped here on her way home Monday. Her hubs had a few days of work related travel so she and her babies have been with us for a couple of extra fun in the sun days.
We're not mad about it.
If you want life to slow down enough to smell the roses I recommend hanging out with a toddler.
They're not in a hurry for the world to go by and help you notice small wonders you might otherwise miss.
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Jelly Beans - great answer and I imagine that is how my husband would have answered the question. Joyce, the dreamer, is a good name!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, barefoot! I still go barefoot a lot and it tends to creep my husband out that I think nothing of slipping off my shoes and walking around barefoot (and not just at home/ around the yard either). Yay for round two of visits!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get to spend time with your daughter and her kids. What a win-win for everyone!! Overthinker would describe me as well! Have a great day and thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteI like your tag lines and amen to spend time with a toddler to not miss the little things! I have my 3 year old niece coming over today!
ReplyDeleteI said "the dreamer", too ... but 'overthinker' sounds apt! Maybe that's a female thing? Thanks for another fun round of Q-and-A!
ReplyDeleteI overthought and then underthought questions this week. What a nice stop on the way home for your daughter and grands. Ya know...green beans didn't hit my radar for being a bean. OYE! Happy last day of July to you!
ReplyDeleteI overthink too and have been really trying to stop. I worry about stuff that hasn't even happened!
ReplyDeleteI love your answer for #1. That's wonderful. Green beans are great. We eat them often. Those are some good taglines. Your July was awesome! How wonderful to have the visit. That was an unexpected blessing. Love the butterfly. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce. So glad you had some extra time with your daughter and kids. How fun! I like your name as the dreamer. Sounds perfect for you. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI miss the toddler years! Thanks for hosting the Hodgepodge!
ReplyDeleteI am an overthinker, also. Jelly beans ...heck yeah!! Keeping a 6 yr. old and twins (age 4) has made me slow down this summer. They have wanted to stay with me a lot and I mean a lot. Not one minute of regret...just watching the twins take in the surroundings and how they find beauty in ants is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly picture is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteJelly beans should count.
Thanks for the questions.
When I owned and operated a daycare in my home, I "specialized in Infants, Toddlers, and Twos." Love them.
ReplyDeleteI tend to overthink things at times, but I am working on it with the help of God and my 12-step program. It's a process.
Enjoyed this week's Hodgepodge.
Nice answers, pretty butterfly
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to have a couple of days with D2 and her littles!! I always like reading your answers to the Hodgepodge, Joyce. You are an extraordinary wordsmith!! xo
ReplyDeleteGoing barefoot is one of my forever habits since childhood too. Love the butterfly photo, and the extra time with a toddler that allowed you to slow down and enjoy it. :-) Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, time with the grands is always special. That butterfly is so pretty! I like chili beans with beans. Extra protein and fiber!
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky to have had a sunny July, we were sitting in the rain (not dancing) and still do !
