A HOT Hodgepodge!

 

1. On July 29th 1957 The Tonite Show premiered with Jack Parr as it's host. This marked the beginning of the modern day talk show. Do you watch any daytime or late night talk shows today? Do you have any thoughts on the hubbub surrounding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, or are you more in the camp of 'who is Stephen Colbert? 

I don't have an opinion about the late show. I'm at work all day so I definitely don't watch daytime TV and we are usually in bed by 10:00, so I don't watch late night talk shows either.

2. What's the best part of your day? 

I am a morning person! I get up early and enjoy the quiet. I have a diet pepsi and I ride the stationary bike . . .and then I get ready to go to work.

3. What's something your generation does that you actually dislike? 

I strongly dislike the tendency of several Baby Boomers to turn everything into a political matter. I also don't like when someone my age dismisses the opinion of young adults. Both of those things could be any generation, but I've noticed my own doing both things quite often.

4. When you cook do you clean as you go, or clean it all up once you're finished cooking? What's the last thing you cooked/baked in your own kitchen? 

I only clean as I go IF I need to reuse some items such as the mixer bowl. I really love when Mark comes in and washes as I cook!! I served baked spaghetti last night for the young adults so I used one of my ovens yesterday.

5. Sum up your July in ten words or less. 

July: HOT 🥵! Time with granddaughters plus learning LOTS about Human Sexuality 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My random thought today is actually a couple of random questions? Here are the things I bought on Saturday. What should I put on the bottom shelf of this piece of furniture? It is located in the dining room.  

Here is a closer look. I bought the three old cups and saucers and the red pitcher. Just FYI, I have a little red in every room but one. I love a pop of red in every room, which is actually tough because we are all Auburn people around here. At least I'm a student at Samford University and their colors are red and blue. I'll claim it!

What should I put on that bottom shelf?

I also bought the fish picture. I had admired it a month or so ago, but was not going to pay the price. It was on sale 65% off on Saturday. The person is trying to clean out their booth. Sold! I originally bought it to hang over this bench on our screened porch. There will be an inch or so on each side of the picture if we hang it here.

Or should we hang it in this big open space between the two windows? Thoughts?
