| Yesterday's morning coffee came from my new coffee maker! |
I'm looking forward to seeing my Maryland family and friends again in November. Our trip is planned for - when else? - the Thanksgiving weekend.
Oh, I do like candles! And I like pretty much any scent, but especially the ones with spice or baking scents. We got one from Bob Evans awhile ago that has the most amazing coffee scent, and that is my current favorite. I don't burn candles as often as I'd like to, partly because I'm afraid I'll forget to put them out when I go to bed or leave the house.And that is not a good thing!
I'm answering on Tuesday night, just to be clear. I think a phone qualifies as a gadget, or at least there are all kinds of gadgets (otherwise known as apps) on the phone, and I used a lot of them! I used the remote keyfob for my car, a hair dryer, nail clippers . . . probably a bunch of others. Just depends how you define gadget!
Would gold be considered money? If not, I'd take fifty pounds of gold. If that answer is disqualified, how about fifty pounds of high quality beef . . . assuming I'd have room for it in my freezer, of course!
I was not a member of the Hodgepodge community in 2014. Looking back in my Google photo album, I discovered that I took a carload of teens to a one day youth retreat in Delaware, and I was an adult leader for our church youth group at the time, so it looks like we did quite a few youth events. My daughter was singing in the children's chorus so there were a couple of performances they did. And that Thanksgiving, we drove up to Ontario to see my husband's family.
Today I'm feeling especially grateful to be a member of the Scioto Valley Chorus and that I've got the resources to be here at Sweet Adelines International. It's a pretty big deal!
Keeping it short today because I'm at the Sweet Adelines Convention (see #5) and have a busy day ahead! Enjoy a couple of October 31st themed memes!
If you participated in Trick or Treat yesterday in any way, I hope you enjoyed sucrose and avoided conflict!
Today is actually All Saints Day. I wrote a brief history of these special days at the end of October and beginning of November a few years ago for my homeschool blog, because I was unclear about the difference between All Saints and All Souls Days, and how All Hallows was (or was not?) related to either of those. You can find it here: All Hallows, All Saints, and All Kinds of Celebrations
What are you looking forward to this November? Leave a comment and let me know!
I had to go back to my photo albums as well as I wasn't hodgepodging in 2014. Have a great time at the Sweet Adelines International!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers! What church were the kids singing in? The reason I'm asking is that it looks like a UMC and I'm on staff at a UMC.
ReplyDeleteYour sidebar reminded me I also used my coffeemaker and that is probably my most loved gadget : ) Enjoy your convention. I'm envious of people with musical talent as I have none. I always say when I get to heaven I'll be able to sing lol.
ReplyDelete50lbs of good quality beef sounds really good to me. Good answers
ReplyDeleteI really went with the minimal gadgets in my answer and ignored all the obvious ones like my phone, computer, coffee maker...oye. Enjoy your event that sounds interesting. My imagination was also lame with the 50# question. Your Thanksgiving weekend sounds like fun. Hats off to Martin Luther! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, as a Lutheran, thanks for the shoutout to Reformation Day! I wonder what he'd think of the church today and if he'd be pounding more theses onto doors.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at my phone, and my photos show me that November 2014 involved having my grandkids help with raking leaves. Gosh, I miss when they were little and around all the time. I also miss living in that house with the trees with all the leaves.
