Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Do you send Christmas cards? If so about how many will you send this year? How do you display the cards you receive? Or don’t you? (gasp!)

We send cards every year. At this point, we’re paring down to about 75. Mostly to those we hear from, and a few shut-ins we keep in touch with.

2. When do kids become adults?

I remember thinking when Mandy got into her 20’s that I simply said to myself, step back and allow your girl to make her own way! Oh, it is hard, but you really need to allow them the respect to be their own person!

3. Does your ‘beauty regimen’ change with the seasons?

No. It’s simple. Moisturize!!!

4. What’s something you like to eat that might cause another person to turn up their nose?

Yes. Lima Beans!!! I love them with butter and salt and pepper. Most people do not!!!

5. Gloves or mittens?

Gloves. I have a pair of leather gloves lined with sherpa, and they are wonderfully warm!!!

6. What’s the longest queue you’ve ever been in? Was it worth it? Queue=line but doesn’t queue sound nicer?

I guess at the airport. And yes, it was worth it. Mostly though, I do not like crowds, so if I see a long line, I go the other way.

7. Besides Christmas, what is one thing you are looking forward to in the month of December?

Celebrating Mandy’s Birthday! I know it is hard for her being born 5 days before Christmas, but I will tell you, she was the best gift I ever got!!!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I think about life now and how next year at Christmas, I will be celebrating my grandchild’s first Christmas! What a blessed event that will be!
