In answering question #1 in today’s Hodgepodge, I mentioned that one of the best things about our home are the window views.

Wednesday Hodgepodge is here again, Thank you, Joyce.

1. Let’s do our gratitude question first this week…what’s the best thing about your home, and have you taken time to enjoy it lately? 

Our views are one of the best things about our home. After living for years in tract homes where you could almost touch your neighbor it is wonderful to see trees and fields and mountains out of our windows.  We are also entertained with wildlife out our windows.

2. Do you like squash? Of the varieties listed, which one’s your favorite and how do you like it prepared? Is squash of some sort on your Thanksgiving menu?? 

Sweet Potatoes/Yams baked with butter and brown sugar topped with marshmallows is a favorite at Thanksgiving.

acorn, butternut, delicata, spaghetti, zucchini, crookneck (yellow squash), patty pan

Butternut Squash Soup is another favorite.

3. Last time you were ‘squashed in’ somewhere, or felt squashed? 

My favorite kind of squashed.

4. Have you ever played squash? What about other ‘racquet sports’ such as racquetball, tennis, pickleball, badminton, table tennis (ping pong)? Are these sports something you enjoy? 

In a time long long ago I played some tennis, badminton, Ping Pong and pickleball. I might have even tried to play racquet ball once. I enjoyed them but that is in the past tense.

5. Something in today’s society or culture that feels like a ‘racket’ to you? If you don’t like that one, tell us about a place you’ve been recently where there was a lot of ‘racket’. 

There is always a lot of racket when I’m at Irish dance class with Addy on Thursdays. This is true especially when they are practicing with their hard shoes!

6.  Insert your own random thought here. 

My first Fall puzzle was not easy. A thousand piece puzzle of Shakespearean Insults.

‘Leave thy vain Bibble Babble’

And with that I’ll say adieu, Hodgepodgers and all who visit here.
