Jo is back this week with some new questions for us to ponder for Hodgepodge Wednesday.
1. Is your life simple? Elaborate.
For the most part my life is simple since I am retired and do not have every day responsibilities. The only set in stone activities in a given week are prayer meeting on Wednesday mornings and church services on Sunday. The rest of our schedule is free for us to fill in the blanks with weekly keep up of our home and property and any church activities that involve the church kitchen. We typically have our Colville kids over for an evening with dinner once a week. We will throw in a card night with two other couples maybe once a month. We always welcome overnight company that happen to travel our way. We just started up walking on the Rotary trail again with a 3x a week goal. We want to add in 3 days of strength training for our arms/shoulders.
2. What simple pleasure are you are currently enjoying?
I enjoy summer fruit, especially nectarines.
3. Travel by…
Plane or go on a cruise? Plane
Walk or ride a bike? Walk
Swim or ski? Swim, although I’m not a fan of putting on a bathing suit these days.
Ocean or mountains? This is a tough one. I like to walk along the ocean and drive through the mountains.
4. What’s the last thing you bought online that you really loved?
The latest is this ‘Sing’ Cd by Keith and Kristyn Getty which I’m enjoying but recently we ordered our new internet service totally online and installed everything to get it up and running. We are so happy with the purchase of Starlink and the improved quality of everything to do with the internet.
5. What’s your ‘back in my day we__________’ story?
Back in my day girls had to wear a dress or skirt and blouse to school. Those dresses or skirts could not be shorter than knee length. If our girls vice principal thought a skirt or dress might be too short, she’d have us kneel and if the skirt or dress did not hit the floor we’d be in trouble! Photo is of some of my high school friends. I’m taking the photo.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
These two have super powers! Love the slippers they find when they come over for dinner with their parents! Super Heroes love slippers! It makes me smile and thank our Lord when I find those slippers under the dinner table.

I love to see little ones using their imaginations. We need to get back on track with our walking here too. We have to go so early due to the humidity but we’re both determined. Things should be a bit quieter this next month so hopefully we can get back to a routine. I haven’t had one nectarine yet this summer. Putting that on my list!
Hello,
Love the landscape, pretty scene. I enjoy walking, especially early in the morning.
Your two super heroes are cuties! Take care, have a great day!
Love your super powered grand children. What a lovely photo. B x
…every family needs a coupleof super heroes.
Aww, those superhero costumes are cute, especially with the slippers.
Great vintage photo! It was the same at my high school.
And those superheroes are adorable. My grands all had/have superhero powers as well.
Love the superheroes and their slippers! How adorable. Have you ever seen the Starlink Satellite in the night sky? It really is so very cool to see.
How wonderful to have dinner with the kids once a week. The nectarines are delicious this summer. Yes, I like the ocean and the mountains. Oh yes, I remember wearing skirts to school. The kids look adorable. Enjoy the rest of your week.
We had to have our skirts or dresses that length too. We used to roll up our skirts at the waist though. 🙂
You know I would love the black and white high school image! Cheers to your wonderful retirement!
Love those superheros! And that high school photo! What a fun memory of friends and clothing and hairstyles… Our favorite way to travel is road trips. And I’d pick the ocean. Every time. Worship music truly lifts the spirit and brings such peace. I spent some time this morning praying and praising Him! Enjoy the rest of your week Ellen!
Nectarines, mmm. And you still use CDs? That would be a “back in my day” kind of story.
A very enjoyable hodgepodge Ellen, thanks for sharing.
Your two little superheros are just adorable! What a treat to have them over often. Have a great week!
Enjoyed your answers…the kiddos are so cute. Yum. summer fruit! I look forward to a day where I don’t have to have an agenda.
