Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Picture postcards were first printed back in the mid-1800’s and deltiology is the official name for postcard collecting. When did you last send a postcard?  Receive one? Do you save postcards sent to you? Do you collect and/or send postcards when you travel?

I don’t collect them, but I love to receive them and I do send them to people. I especially love the old post cards of days gone by.

2. What treat do you most like to indulge in while on vacation?

Ice Cream! We splurged today and had an ice cream and despite popular belief that my favorite ice cream is only Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, we went to a real creamery and had a flavor called pudding. It was very much like Rum Raisin, without the rum.

3. Are you good at hiding your feelings?

Are you kidding? I am an open book! I cry easily, I love openly and I am probably too open with my thoughts.

4. Does your town/city/county still deliver telephone books to your home? Do you check the yellow pages when searching for a local business number or has the internet replaced the phone book in your home?

They do mail them. I really do not use them, and go online for most things.

5. Would you rather be first or last?

Last. I get very nervous being the first for anything. This probably comes from being the last born in the family.

6. July is National Park and Recreation Month (in America, but everyone can still play along)…where and when were you last in a park?  Did you participate in any recreational activities while you were there?

We drove through the White Mountain National Park. It was beautiful and I am always amazed at how splendid our country is!

7.  What was one of your worst ideas?

Macaroni and cheese with hot-dogs mixed in. Or maybe it was the meatloaf with hot-dog chunks!

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

I get my stitches out today! I can hardly wait. The only bad thing is that the temperatures in Boston are supposed to be in the 90’s!

  1. Ask Dave about his recipe for hotdogs and beans…he uses B&M original recipe, adds some molasses, some Rotel tomatoes, slices the hotdogs length wise and fries then, then cuts them into bite size pieces and puts them in the beans. SO GOOD!

  2. I only send a postcard at Christmas one I sent to you and it took 2 months to arrive ! emails go quicker. I don’t keep postcards either. Hiding my feelings is not my thing either ! You can read them on my face !
