1. Expect the unexpected on From This Side of the Pond. Here's my x-ray question...when was the last time you felt like Superman? What's your superpower? Explain.
I'm not sure I've ever felt like Superman and I don't have a superpower.  I'm one of those people who is "okay" at a lot of things, but not particularly "super" at anything.

2. Are you a fan of the 'superhero' type movies? If so what's your favorite?
I've never really watched too many of them, but probably Superman would be my favorite.

3. Have you postponed or cancelled a trip to the dentist in recent weeks, and if so when do you think you'll feel comfortable going back? How about other routine medical procedures?
I have not postponed an appointment (but the doctor's office did), but I have postponed making an appointment.  I'll probably wait until June (same thing with an eye appointment).  

4. What's something that makes you feel youthful? Something that makes you feel 'not so youthful'? Tell us why.
My Grandson to both questions.  Young because I love to play and color and read with him and old because I wear down so fast when doing it.  lol

5. I feel compelled to include some sort of corona related question in the HP these days. What's the strangest thing you've seen in relation to the virus? Something that really struck you as odd, made you stop and think, 'Dorothy we're not in Kansas anymore?'
Some of the photographs of people on FB have been pretty strange.  Wondering why workers were mandated to wear face masks before, but now that they are opening stuff up some they are being mandated.  It's okay and I'm sure there's a reason, but it does make me go hmmm??

6. Insert your own random thought here.

And that's the truth!!

Tuesday 4 Meme

Extremes

Welcome to Tuesday 4 in memory of Toni Taddeo.

The idea is to get people thinking and talking to one another. The more we talk, the more we learn and grow.  If we have learned anything from this house arrest, it is that people need people and as Barbra Streisand sang, "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world."

This week, let's think about extremes....

1. Besides a house or car what is the most expensive thing you've ever bought?  Probably my iPhone as other than the house and car, I typically don't buy really expensive things, unless you consider vacation as buying something.  Our trips to Disney can be pretty expensive.
2. What is the coldest temperature you've experienced? The warmest?  I really don't have any idea.  I know for coldest it's definitely been below 0 and for hottest it's definitely been above 100.
3.  Can you name a favorite TV/Radio program that you secretly can't get enough of or one that you will watch every chance you get? Perhaps binge watch? NCIS  We started binge watching the series from the beginning about a month ago and I'm still loving it.
4. What is very wrong but sounds good to most people at first?  Eating that whole box of Oreo Cookies! lol

My Weekend

My weekend was very quiet.  Got off work on Friday and stopped by my sisters and she brought out some crochet straps for me to finish by putting on the buttons.  I had 10 at home I had made and she made another 10, so that's 40 buttons for me to sew on.  I did my 10 Friday evening after supper (hubby had put a chuck roast on in the slow cooker before work...delicious).

Saturday morning I watched Pixar's Onward and sewed the buttons on the last 10 straps.  Onward seems to be a favorite of my grandson right now, so I wanted to see what he was watching.  I really enjoyed it and would recommend it if you haven't already seen it.

After finishing the buttons, I got cleaned up and we dropped off the face mask straps to my sister so she could turn them in to her ladies' group to donate with the masks being made.  I thing we are finished with making the straps now.  My sister made well over a 100 and I thing I probably made about 75-80.

Hubby then dropped me off at Wal-mart and I ran in and picked up a few things we needed and some stuff for my younger sister in assisted living as she is not allowed to get out at all right now.  Hubby and I then did a curbside pick-up at Noodles and Company and then dropped the stuff off at the door for my sister and we were back home for the day.

Sunday we got up and went to church and hubby did his live FB online broadcast.  I think that went really well.  Then again got some curbside service for lunch and we were at home the rest of the day.  I tried to take a nap, but got a video call from my youngest and enjoyed playing with my grandson.  He is a hoot on the phone.

Then I got settled back in for a nap and the dog decided she needed to go out.in.the.rain!  Oh well, nap time was done for me!  So instead I started a jigsaw puzzle.  I've been wanting to do one ever since this close-down started, but I needed to spend the extra time on crocheting those straps.  Anyway, it's a really neat looking puzzle.  It's a Thomas Kinkade Disney Puzzle.  I'm really enjoying working on it.  Here's a picture of the one I'm doing.

So that is pretty much my weekend in a nutshell.  As I said in the beginning it was very quiet...just the way I like them.

Thankful Thursday

Click the button above to link up.

I wasn't sure I was going to post today, because everything is so unexciting in my life right now  and it seems like I'm saying the same thing every week.  But the truth of the matter, exciting or not, Jesus is worthy of our thanks and praise.

So, I'm thankful for:

** Jesus and that He was willing to die for me and that He is always with me.

**my husband, who is always there for me and for all the time we have together right now with not too many things pulling us away.

**Health - ours and our friends and family.

**we've had a few beautiful days in the last week.

**my grandson who makes me smile.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Click the button above to link up with Joyce.

1. What's something you resolved to do this year? Have you done it?
Paint and put new flooring in my house.  No I haven't done it yet.

2. Where do you go to find quietude?
To a park or someplace with water ( the beach is awesome too) and sit in our van with hubby reading, crocheting, people watching and possibly even napping is a favorite with us. 

3. A friend asked this question on her Facebook page and said I could borrow it for the Hodgepodge...you're only allowed to buy 5 things at the grocery store, and all must start with the first letter of your first name. Whatcha' buying?

Chocolate
Chicken
Chips
Cheese
Cashews

4. The television show Survivor, the Gloria Gaynor song 'I Will Survive', survival mode, survival of the fittest...pick one and discuss.
Survivor - it's really interesting this season as all players are former winners.  It's brought a whole different dynamic to the show.

5. Share a favorite quote or saying about strength.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
Hoping life will be back to normal soon, maybe a bit of a new normal though.  I'm hoping I will never again take for granted being with people and giving or getting a hug or just going out to eat.  God is good and I think maybe some of these alone times have been good for me.  To give me time to think and not feel guilty for relaxing and making me appreciate my friends and family more.
