Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What’s the last thing you did that could be described as ‘taxing’?

Helping Hubby with our taxes! Oh I hate this time of year, when every document, every little expense must be accounted for.

2. If you could plant a garden of anything, what would be in it?

Successfully? I would plant a garden of eggplant! As it is, I do garden, and raise zucchini, summer squash, butternut squash, tomatoes, and tomatoes.

3. April 10-16 is National Library Week…will you celebrate with a visit to your nearest library? When did you last make a trip to the library? What are you reading right now? What’s one title on your want-to-read list?

I haven’t been to our library in a bit. Much of what I used to go in for can be done on line. When I drove to Mandy’s last week, I noticed their library, and I was thinking of learning when their story times are and perhaps taking Savi.

4. Share a saying or an old wives tale you heard while growing up, you believed to be true or that you paid attention to ‘just in case’?

Too many cooks, spoil the broth. I love to cook, but I tend to shoo people out of my kitchen.

5. Are you a fan of onions? Garlic? Ginger? What’s a dish you love that contains one, two or all three items listed?

Oh, I love Onions, Garlic and Ginger. But mostly, onions and garlic. I have a great recipe for a mushroom risotto that I add onions and garlic to and it is fantastic!

6. Where does nurturing end and indulging begin? What are some skills or qualities a person needs to posses in order to be viewed as mature?

My daughter is a great example. She nurtures her children in a loving and gentle manner. She is never too busy to hold them, and comfort them, and yet she also has set limits with Savi and her behavior.

I think the one thing I realized that a person needs to be mature is the ability to listen and accept another person’s views and ideas. Sadly, I am discovering during this presidential campaign season, that many, many, people do not posses this ability and instead of graciously listening, they attack and try to tear down the person expressing their views. Sadly, I have never read so many vile and hateful things written by friends, about other friends. Now there is a contradiction.

7. What leading figure in any field would you like to hear speak, and why?

If time were no matter, I would go back and listen to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Many people have interpreted his word, his teachings. Imagine how wonderful it would be to be able to listen to his words.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Greta’s tests came back and she is doing as well as any 12 year old lady doggy. So, good news!

My computer Guru was here and he got my laptop cleaned, my smartphone organized and got Jack’s laptop cleaned and our desktop trouble shot. Our old desktop is XP, and whether we like it or not, it is now obsolete. Time for Hubby and I to shop around for a desktop for basic organization.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

  1. You might want to consider trying one of the new Linux Mint versions for that old desktop. They run on “older” hardware without a problem, and are as easy to operate as Windows. Might save yourselves from having to buy new hardware. (If you want to try it and need help, give me a shout.)

  2. So great to have a tech person you can call on for help. I loved story hour with my girls. We spent a lot of time in the library and I still consider them pretty special places. Hope you’re having lots of fun with your new grandboy!
