What's Your Name Hodgepodge

 



1. Do you like your name? Are you named after someone (grandparent, etc)? If you have children how did you choose their names? 

My name, Lisa, is fine. It is a part of me at this stage of life. Supposedly my mom named me after Mona Lisa. We don't have any other Lisa's in our family. Our son is named after my dad (first name) and Mark's dad. Our daughter's middle name is my middle sister's name. Her first name was found on a quilt at Mark's mother's house. I think her first name appears on both sides of our family - way back!

2.  A piece of red velvet cake, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a slice of blueberry pie? You can only have one...which will you choose? If you could pick any red, white, or blue dessert other than those listed here, what would you choose? 

Does the red velvet cake have cream cheese icing? If so, I would choose the cake. If not, I would choose blueberry pie. Since I don't eat sweets, it is a moot point. If I could choose any other red, white, or blue dessert . . .I would choose Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Yeah . . . it has salad in its name, but it isn't really!

3.  What's a job you'd like to try for just one day? 

I would love to be an archeologist for just one day!

4. Any patriotic decor in your home currently or coming up this summer? 

We fly an American flag on our front porch all of the time, along with many of our neighbors. Other than the flag, no patriotic decor.

5. It's the end of May, so let's exercise our brains. Sum up your month with an acrostic using the word MAY. We can do it!!  

M — Mentally checked out of classes (small break between semesters)
A — Attempted one lake day with friends (did it! enjoyed it!)
Y — Yep, it rained again (is it ever going to stop raining??)

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Classes begin again on Monday. For the June minimester, I will be taking Family Law. I have emailed with my professor and she sounds great!

For those of you who have granddaughters between the ages of 7-10, what are some fun craft things you have done together. One is 7 and one is 10 so it would be nice to have some things that both can do. I saw one thing on Leslie's blog (https://onceuponatimehappilyeverafteragain.blogspot.com) that I made a copy of and I plan to scour the house for those supplies. What else??

  2. I also love the pretzel salad and might have to bring that back this summer. I haven't made it in ages. I don't have grands that age, but my girls loved making friendship bracelets with embroidery floss and could spend hours doing that. There are some cute craft kits at Hobby Lobby. Maybe browsing there would give you some ideas. Baking is always fun.
