All about love for Hodgepodge this week. Thank you, Joyce!

1. What’s something recent that had you ‘tickled pink’?

I’m old and it’s the little things that can tickle me pink. I was able to add a couple apps to my phone recently that will help us in our upcoming travels. The fact that they are there and they are working tickles me.

2. A bed of roses, everything’s coming up roses, every rose has it’s thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns…which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way?

I’m going with stop and smell the roses. Spending time with our grandchildren helps. It makes us step out from the daily grind and spend time with them or at their events.

Taking trips is a great way to stop and smell the roses, too. We’ll be smelling new roses soon.

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated?

Spending time with loved ones, getting snail mail, and words of encouragement.

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what’s your pleasure?

A few years ago I bought myself this heart shaped box of chocolates from Sees. I picked each of the pieces to go in the box.

I’m a little picky about chocolates so I’ll say a bouquet of fresh flowers! They don’t have to be roses. I like the more humble flowers.

Any special plans for Valentine’s Day?

Our Colville kids and grands will be here for dinner the night before and that is special. Nothing planned for the actual day, though. We will be open to impromptu plans.

5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Have you seen these conversation starters. Our kids bought us this set for Christmas. They have the Parents and kids edition and have enjoyed it so much they bought us the Grandparents & Kids set.

Here is a sample of two of the questions.

Hope you can share some lovely moments the rest of this week!
