Wednesday Hodgepodge

Come on and join with Joyce for some Wednesday Hodgepodge.  Read and comment on mine first and then click the button above to play along.

1. What do the words 'freedom' and 'liberty' mean to you? Does your mind go more in the direction of not being persecuted or discriminated against or does it head in the direction of doing what you please?

Probably a little of all that.  I think of freedom to worship how I choose and not be persecuted because of that.  Although, sometimes I wonder how long this freedom is going to last.  I guess my first thoughts go towards the ones who fight to keep that freedom for us.

2. Nathan's sponsors a hot dog eating contest every 4th of July. Last year over 40,000 people attended the event and almost 2 million watched it on TV. The winner ate over 60 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. How do you like your hot dogs?

I love them as coneys with cheese, chili and mustard

I also like them with ketchup, mustard and relish

3. If you were going to enter an eating contest what would be on the menu?

The first thing that pops into my head is MM's.  I have no idea why.  :)

4. Do you run your house more as a dictatorship or a democracy?

A little of both.

5. Where was your favorite summer place when you were a kid?

The 3 or 4 years that we had a pool, that was definitely my favorite place.

6. Do you have a guest room? Would you want to stay there?

No, we don't have a guest room, but someday when the girls move on, we'll probably turn one of their rooms into a guest room.

7. Next Wednesday America celebrates her independence. Do you have any special plans for the 4th of July? If you live outside the USA when and how does your country celebrate its own patriotic holiday?

No plans yet.  It's going to be a little bit strange because both of our girls will be out of state next week.  It'll be our first 4th of July as empty nesters.  

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Isn't this the coolest moth.  It's called a leopard moth.  It was hanging on the building where I work when I went to work Tuesday morning.  Unfortunately the batteries in my camera died just when I was trying to take a picture.  Fortunately a friend had their phone that has a decent camera and took this for me.

The Strange Things I Saw on Monday

I just have to share these two pictures I took on Monday. First if you are one of the ones that love all the vampire stuff on TV, in movies and books, then you may love this first picture.

This bat was "hanging" around work today.  It was by the back door.  How gross and scary is that?!?

The other photo was taken while Kerri and I were out walking in our neighborhood.  This cracked us up, so I took a picture and no I promise we don't live in a holler somewhere.  haha

You might be a redneck if......   

Taken any funny pictures lately?

Weekend Wrap-Up

I'm joining in with "A Defined Life" for the Weekend Wrap-up. Why not click the button and join in too.

We had a pretty quiet weekend, but it was a really good weekend.  I only took a few pictures, so let's take a quick look.

 

This was driving home from work Friday night.  I just snapped this through the windshield of my car, so don't look too close or you might see my dirty window.

Beautiful big flower barrel on the streets of my town.  They are all up and down the main street of town.

As we were driving through town on our way back home from errand running, Kerri and I decided to stop and get a Whit's frozen custard.  Oh man, this stuff is awesome!

Kerri with hers in a cup

Me with a goofy look on my face with my custard on a cone, so I could drive.  Hubby was being good and didn't get one, he just stayed i the car.

Walking back to the car.  See the barrels of flowers.

Another picture of our town.  I think we have a pretty little town

 Sunday we had church and then stopped and got some Taco Bell for lunch and spent the afternoon at home.  Then back to church Sunday night for another great service.  That is the extent of my weekend.  Love a quiet weekend once in a while.  Now, tell me, how was your weekend.

Friday Fragments

* Another surprising ending to Bunheads, episode 2. I think I'm hooked. Have you seen it? What do you think?

* It's been nice being empty nesters this week. Hubby and I have enjoyed some relaxing evenings at home and also have gone out a few times. Kerri will be coming back home today though, so no more empty nesters. But that's okay too. I'm looking forward to seeing her and hearing all about her camp experience this week.

* 9 weeks from tomorrow we'll be checking in at Disney for 11 days. Can't wait!

* 8 weeks from Sunday we'll be leaving after church to pick up Kelli in NC and take her back to college in FL and then Tracy, Kerri and I will spend 5 days roaming around FL until it's time to check in at Disney. I can't believe I get 3 weeks off work to vacation in FL Yay!!!!

That's all the fragments I have this week. Have a great weekend everyone!!

His Grace

I'm listening to Pandora at work and this song just came on and just have to share it. It's so true, His Grace still amazes me!!



I hope this reminds you today just how awesome His Grace is.
