Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. It’s a brand new month…share one thing you’re looking forward to in October.

Cool, crisp, air, with the changing of the leaves!

2. Is chivalry dead? Explain.

Yes and no. Hubby is such a gentleman, and so are most of the men his age or older, but those in their early 30’s or younger, have no idea. Funny you asked about this. The other day I was going into a shop and a man with a walker, rushed to open the door for me! It blew my mind, as most of the time, the younger men, open the door for themselves and then just let the heavy thing shut heavily behind them!

3. On October 2, 1950 the Peanuts comic strip made its debut. Which character is your favorite? Which character is most like you? (Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Shroeder, Snoopy, Woodstock, or Pig Pen)

Snoopy. I love Snoopy! Greta is so much like him in her character, that it is funny! She even carries her dish in her mouth to show she is waiting for her dinner!

4. What’s something you’re competitive about?

I’m really not competitive at all. However, if someone cooks something I think I can cook better I will try it out, over and over, until I perfect it. So yes, I guess I am a competitive cook.

5. October is National Popcorn Popping Month…are you a fan? How do you like your popcorn?

I love popcorn! I love it hot with butter and salt! I could make a meal out of it! Kettle Corn is also good, but movie theater, buttered popcorn is the best!

6. When did you first realize the world is small?

I think when I started to travel around Europe with Hubby. I saw the homes, the families and people going to and from work. I also was on a flight to Frankfurt, Germany and was on my way to the Lavatory, and there sat a man whose children I babysat so long ago!

7. In terms of architecture, what’s the most beautiful building you’ve seen up close and in person?

There was a beautiful church in Bavaria. The Wieskirche located in Steingaden in the Weilheim-Schongau district, Bavaria.  You can go HERE and view some of the pictures of this Church. You can also go HERE and learn more about this beautiful church.

There is a little side story here. Our dear friend, Otto, took us on a ride through the countryside despite his failing health. He wanted to share this most beautiful church with us. I’m so happy he got to see this church again, through our eyes, before he died.

So, forever, this church will hold a very special place in my heart!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Tuesday found us going to a Fly-In. It’s a day when retired Pilots and their families get together to share stories and cook-out. It was so much fun, as many of them flew in their own planes to get there.

Here is our friend and his plane. He was just getting ready to take off to return home.
