Bits of This and That - Memorial Day 2023

It's a beautiful morning on this Memorial Day Monday. It's 59 degrees and partly cloudy right now at 7:38am. Hubby and I are trying to ease into the day and just enjoy being together. No real plans for the day yet. I know we're going to head into town in a bit and either watch the parade or head out to the church (which is on a hill at the edge of town) to try to catch the planes that fly over the parade. He thinks we could maybe see them better from up there. When you're right downtown some of the buildings block the view partially. Here's a picture from last year.

Then we'll grab a bite of lunch and I need to run into the store and get a couple of things. I've got eggs on to boil right now to make some deviled eggs and I think we'll have hamburgers or hotdogs and maybe some baked beans for dinner. We missed the National Memorial Day show on PBS last night, but have found it on YouTube and we plan to watch it tonight. We try to see it every year. So that's our plans so far for the day. What are you doing?

Below is yesterday's sermon from the current series hubby is preaching.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. The Hodgepodge lands on National Dog Day this year (August 26th). Do you own a dog? Did you have a dog when you were growing up, or maybe some other kind of pet? Would you say you're more of a dog person or a cat person? Neither is okay too : )

Yes, I own a dog. Yes, we had dogs growing up. The first one that I remember was a Boston Terrior named Poochie and my grandparents had her sister, Bubbles. I am definitely a dog person.

2. Last time you felt 'dog tired'?

Monday night. I woke up early (5:00am) and by the end of the day, I couldn't keep my eyes open while hubby and I were watching TV.

3. It's said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. When did you last prove this idiom true or prove it wrong?

I think it's false. I think we can learn what we really want too. I've recently learned this stitch in crochet and love it.

4. A favorite book, television show, or movie featuring a dog. Why did you love it?

A Dog Named Christmas. I like it because it was a great feel good movie and it was about a dog and Christmas. What more could you want.

5. Last time you had reason to (literally or figuratively) exclaim 'hot diggity dog'?

When I got to see both of my girls and my grandson this summer.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
