When I restarted the Hodgepodge we were mid-pandemic with a little too much time on our hands. The pace has for sure picked up here and I'm once again back to being somewhat busy. Fun busy, but busy all the same.
I am going to continue the HP because I enjoy the mid-week motivation to blog, and also keeping up with my favorite reads, but it's likely I will take a break now and then too. There are weeks where something has to give, and this is often that something. I'll try to give you a heads up and appreciate you rolling along with the current here.
It's on today so if you've answered the questions add your link at the end of my post. Be sure to leave a comment for the blogger before you, because everybody loves company. In blogland anyway! Here we go-
2. Is your life currently more 'moonlight and roses' or a little more 'every rose has it's thorn'? Elaborate.
I'm pretty much a moonlight and roses girl, even when life feels thorny.
3. June 23rd is National Pink Day...favorite thing you own in any shade of pink? Favorite thing found in nature in any shade of pink? Your favorite pink food or beverage? Your favorite shade of pink?
I don't own a lot of pink but I love it in nature. Our mandevilla, dogwoods in bloom, the evening sky just after sunset...
My favorite would probably be a peony painted in a soft shade of blush, which is also my favorite shade. I have some bright pink sandals that are fun to wear.
4. Last thing that had you 'tickled pink'?
The cutest big and little brothers in the world sharing an ice cream cone...
Be still my heart.
5. What are two or three words that describe your style.
Classic and relaxed most days, but I can do fancy too. I love dressing up, but fancy dress is not often required when you live the lake life.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Two of my nephews have birthdays the first week of May and I was feeling pretty pleased with myself this year for getting their cards and gift cards mailed more than a week before the dates. Postmark April 24th for the record.
The cards were traveling just a couple of states over but days went by and nothing.
They waited and waited and waited some more and I texted with my sister-in-law a number of times but still no cards. Mothers Day came and went and another week went by and not a word. We debated about what to do, but then her Mother's Day card to me postmarked April 22nd arrived on May 21st. We decided maybe we should wait a bit longer and yes, her card arrived here 29 days after mailing.
Finally, convinced the cards had been swiped somewhere along the way I did the very impersonal thing known as Venmo-ing birthday money into my nephews accounts.
And then- on Saturday June 12th, my sister-in-law texts me a picture...they got the cards.
49 days later.
What in the world is happening with the mail??
