Grateful Hodgepodge

Time for Wednesday Hodgepodge with a new set of questions that Joyce From This Side of the Pond is asking.

1. Besides Thanksgiving (in the USA) what’s one thing you’re looking forward to in November? 

Cozy clothes and sitting by a fire.

2. Do you like candles? Your favorite scent? How often do you burn a candle in your home? 

I do like candles and I enjoy soft scents not overly sweet scents. We do not burn scented candles often but we do burn lots of birthday candles.

3. What gadgets did you use today? 

A Sonicare toothbrush, a wooden spoon, and a measuring cup. A low gadget day. 🙂

4. This question is a repeat from one asked in November of 2014, but I liked it so it’s coming round again. Many of you weren’t here in 2014. Okay, you can have fifty pounds of something (anything but money)…what will you choose?

If gasoline came in pounds, I’d choose fifty pounds of gasoline for my car and lawnmower. Since it doesn’t, I’ll pick fifty pounds of flour.

Also, since I mentioned it…what were you up to in November of 2014? 

In November of 2014 we were still living in Western Washington. We were getting to know our future daughter-in-law. Our son asked her to marry him soon after Thanksgiving.

5. ‘Tis the season…what’s something you’re feeling especially grateful for today? 

I posted this quote from Martin Luther on Facebook Tuesday which was when I was working on the Hodgepodge. Yesterday was Reformation Day.

“Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness; I am Your sin. You took on You what was mine, yet set on me what was Yours. You became what You were not, that I might become what I was not.” – Martin Luther

Thank you, Jesus!

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Some Halloween shenanigans from yesterday, Beetlejuice, Barbie, Bowling crew…the pin, the bowling ball and the bowler, a cat and random wig guy.

Welcome November!

  1. Cozy clothes and sitting by a fire…sounds like my kind of living. 🙂 The Martin Luther quote is so precious. Thank you for sharing it. The Halloween costumes are so cute…especially the bowling ball and pin. 🙂

  2. The pin and bowling ball! So clever! I forgot about my electric toothbrush and my coffeemaker, both I use every day. Enjoy the rest of your week!

  3. When I listed gadgets I just wasn’t sure. I think of a coffee maker as a small appliance, and phones, computers, etc. as devices or electronics. I did use a measuring spoon which I forgot to list. Your wooden spoon reminded me.

    We just got back from visiting a friend in northern NH. It snowed up there all day on Monday and a wood fire felt wonderful.

  4. It is hard for me to believe that we are in November already! I am looking forward to cozy clothes too . . . and also cozy foods and Thanksgiving visitors.

    Love the Martin Luther quote! Powerful truth!

  5. I enjoyed reading your answers. You are right about the gasoline. I paid $4.99 a gallon yesterday and was happy. It’s sad to be happy about that price but it was the best so far. Lovely quote you shared. Love the Halloween photos!
