Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What’s something that has recently ‘tried your patience’?

It’s been pretty calm and not much has been making me crazy. Now that Lili is walking so nicely on her leash, we go out every day and have a good time. If I could just break her of using her mouth to get my attention I would be very happy. (She will gently grab my hand. It’s not terrible, but it annoys me.)

2. Do you think patience comes to us naturally or is it something you have to learn as you grow? On a scale of 1-10 generally how patient are you? (1=I blow up at the drop of a hat and 10=I’ve got all the time in the world).

I had to learn to be patient. I used to have a very quick temper. As I have aged, the temper has gotten more under control. I’m probably an 8 now. It takes an awful lot to make me pop my cork!

3. Share about a time when you felt like you could fly. Or a time you wished you could fly. Or a time you felt like you were flying.

Well, here is my story. I dream I can fly all of the time. I mean, I’m not in a plane or anything, just me soaring up into the skies. It’s such a freeing feeling and I love those dreams.

In life I have flown a lot with Hubby. He was an Airline Pilot, and I flew all over the world with him. I am grateful to both Pan Am and Delta for that opportunity.

4. Your favorite song with the word fly in the title or lyrics, or your favorite song that relates to flying in some way?

Hummingbird, by Seals and Crofts. Here it is. Enjoy!

5. What’s in your fall picnic basket and where are we picnicking in your neck of the woods this time of year?

People come from all over the world to enjoy the Fall Foliage in The White Mountains of New Hampshire. It truly is beautiful here! Picnic? Well, hot soup and a good sandwich.

6. Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, landscaping…which skill would you most like to possess and how would you put that skill to use today?

Electrical. There are so many little jobs I would like to do. Change sconces, wire up some outside lights, and fix a few lamps.

7. What’s something you think is too expensive to justify buying lately?

A new sofa. Currently Lili and her mouth have done in my 25 year old sofa, but I don’t want to replace it until she is over this gnawing phase of her life.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I am off on Friday to meet my new grandniece! April is a month old now, and just a total doll! I can hardly wait to hold her in my arms!!! Here is a sneak peak of her precious little face!
