Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Hodgepodge

 Y'all - I'm so embarrassed. The last couple of times I have forgotten to thank Joyce for her Hodgepodge questions and I've forgotten to link up. I did the same thing for Sunday Stealing PLUS I thought I scheduled my Sunday Stealing for 2:00 a.m. on Sunday but I scheduled it for 2:00 a.m. A WHOLE WEEK EARLIER. How do you make those kinds of mistakes???

Here we go - thank you to Joyce for the wonderful questions each week. Please feel free to copy the questions and answer on your own blog (or you can answer in the comments!) and link back up with everyone over at Joyce's blog.

 

1. It's been said the best things in life are free...are they? What are some of those things? 

This question has me perplexed. Is anything really free? If you are in a store and see "free gift with purchase" . . . just know that the gift is not really free! Are hugs free? I'm not normally a huge hugger but since the pandemic, I tend to hug much more! The air we breathe and the flowers that bloom were a gift of God for us to enjoy but are they free? I'm looking forward to reading other answers for this question!

2. Stars or stripes? Red, white, or blue? Apple pie or home made ice cream? Do you like hotdogs? If so, what do you like on yours? 

Stars

Blue . . .or maybe red!

Homemade ice cream

Love a good hotdog! - A good Sneaky Pete's Chili Cheese dog (no onions) is hard to beat! At home, I usually put mustard, ketchup, and kraut on a hot dog. My sister loves Sneaky Pete's so much that she always has to eat at least one of their dogs while she is in town.

3. One thing on your summer bucket list? Any plans to make it happen soon? 

I plan to be a "rider" on the church van one day in July. In the UMC, we have safe sanctuary so there always has to be two non-related adults with children. There will be a driver and I will be a rider headed to Camp Sumatanga. I really want to do a zip line but they don't have that BUT they do have this big swing thing (Alpine Tower) from the trees . . .and I'm thinking about doing that while we are at camp! I hope they will let me do it without doing all of the other stuff!

4. What's your summer anthem? Yes, you need to have one. 

I don't have one but since you said I must . . .how about, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" - hahahaha!

5. What's something you love about America? If you live outside of America, tell us something you love about the place you call home. 

I love our freedom. I love the beauty of our country. I typed a really long answer to this question and then deleted it. I think it will be interesting to read the answers of others.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Have you ever seen a berry bowl? My sister-in-law gave this to me for my birthday last month and I've used it almost every day for blueberries and strawberries!! It is so awesome!
