Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Do you try to set rules for yourself about how you use your time? Explain.

I should. Unfortunately, I am sort of a go with the flow kind of girl.

2. Monday was National Lighthouse Day. Have you ever visited a lighthouse? If not, do you have any desire to see one up close? Of the 10 Most Beautiful that made this list which would you most like to see in person-

I grew up in Falmouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. We had beautiful Nobska Lighthouse in our town. I love lighthouses and everything about them!

OLindau Lighthouse (Germany), Fanad Lighthouse (Ireland), Portland Head Light (Maine), Yaquina Bay Light (Oregon)

The St. Augustine Light (Florida), Yes, I have been there also.

Peggys Point Lighthouse (Canada), I have been to Peggy’s Cove, as many of my family come from Nova Scotia.

Start Point Lighthouse (England), Tower of Hercules (Spain), Bass Harbor Head Station (Maine), and White Shoal Light (Michigan)

Not these, however.

When you’ve been away, what’s your ‘lighthouse’ telling you you’re on the right road home?

The smell of the ocean, (when I go home to Cape Cod) or the sight of the mountains, when I am on my way to my current home in New Hampshire!


3. What have you unintentionally stopped doing? Is this something you need to pick back up and begin again, or is it something you need to let go of for now (or even permanently)?

I need to start thinning out my junk. You know all the clutter one gathers in 58 years of life!

4. We’ve had a full week of August. Share a GRAND moment from your month so far.

Jack is healing well, and even getting back to some of the things that make him happy. That makes me happy! Also I have seen two rainbows on two separate occasions. Thus reminding me, that even though a little rain must fall, there is a rainbow full of happiness to follow!

5. Tell us one song you love with the word ‘baby’ in the title.

Baby-Baby by Amy Grant.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

I seem to be spending a lot of time in my car this summer. Bu there is an up side. I have been enjoying the lush trees, the beautiful gardens, and the sunny skies (when it has not been raining! 😉 ).

Yesterday I had to drive to Portsmouth, NH and what a gorgeous ride that is, plus Portsmouth is a beautiful little city. Love it!

  1. I’m glad your hubs is doing well and back to enjoying some of the things he loves. New England has some beautiful lighthouses! Hope you have a great rest of the week!
