Orange You Glad It's The Hodgepodge

Welcome to this week's edition of The Wednesday Hodgepodge. If you've answered today's questions, add your link at the end of my post then hop over and leave a comment for the blogger before you. Here we go- 

1. What do you like most about your family? 

It's hard to put in to words, but simply stated we fit together. We belong to each other. 

c. 1991

We have a shared history, language, way of seeing the world, and a sense of what it means to be part of a family that fills my heart completely.

c. 2002

I love that they're funny. I love that they're smart. I love that they're compassionate. I love that they love Jesus. 

c. 2015

I love that they place a high value on family.  

c. 2021

2. What's something nice that's happened to you recently? 

My daughter phoned to ask if I wanted to do something on Tuesday. She forgot we had company, but I love that she asked. 

3. Do you like the color orange? Besides a pumpkin and an actual orange, what's something orange you love?

I love the color orange. In the right place of course, and mostly as an accent, but yes I like the color a lot. What do I love that's orange? 

The Tennessee Volunteers. 

4.  What's something you have now you couldn't have imagined having five years ago? How does that make you feel? What's possible now because of it? 

Something I couldn't have imagined five years ago? Having a daughter living four miles away. 

How does it make me feel? Grateful, happy, in awe of God's goodness and the way he cares about the smallest details of our lives. 

What's possible now because of it? Grabbing coffee on a Tuesday morning, meeting at Hobby Lobby to shop for seasonal goodies, a spontaneous dinner after a grandson's soccer match, sitting side by side in a church pew every Sunday

5. Let's wrap this one up with an October this or that...

• pumpkin bread or apple cider donut

                the apple cider donut please 

• cozy sweater or cozy hoodie

                I like both, but will say a cozy hoodie on a cool fall evening

• apple picking or pumpkin picking

                apple picking 

• scary movie or Hallmark movie

                I'm not a huge fan of either, but since I don't watch scary movies at all I guess 

                Hallmark it is

• hayride or corn maze

                hayride 

• twinkle lights or candles

                I love both, but twinkle lights make any space feel magical

• autumn hike or autumn bonfire 

                an autumn hike

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I've had company all week so getting this post in under the wire. 

Just a reminder I'm hosting a 'Day In The Life' link up for anyone who wants to participate on Thursday, November 113th. For details see my random thought in last week's Hodgepodge-A Freshly Painted Hodgepodge. 

Hoping this season is beautiful wherever you may be!
