June 1 Hodgepodge

 

Joyce at From This Side of the Pond graciously writes the questions each week and we answer and meet up on her blog. Feel free to answer the questions in the comments or join here with us!

1. Besides the flag, tell us about something red, something white and something blue from your weekend. 

This is a pitiful answer -- Red is for BBQ sauce! White is for mashed potatoes! Blue is for hydrangeas in our yard!

2. June is here and it's National Give A Bunch of Balloons Month. Who would you give a bunch to if you could? Tell us why. I actually bought balloons on my way to work this morning for my friend and co-worker who will be celebrating her 40th birthday this weekend.

3. What are three adjectives you associate with the month of June? Something you're looking forward to this month? 1) bright . . .love love love that the sun is almost up when I get up at 5:00 a.m. and doesn't go away until 8:00 p.m.  2) yellow . . .love love love the sun. 3) beautiful, blue, and white -- the gulf coast is magnificent at this time of year -- the water is blue; our sand is powder white. If you've never seen Alabama beaches or the panhandle of Florida beaches, put them on your list of places to visit. Our coast is truly beautiful.

4. Tell us about a time (besides the obvious Corona answer) when you felt stuck in second gear. I'm sort of stuck with my weight loss. I've mentioned this before. I'm maintaining the loss from a couple of years ago, but I can't seem to move into the next gear to get the last 20 off.

5. Sum up your May in fifteen words or less. Life is beginning to return to a new normal and it is wonderful to hug a friend! I don't have to count "a" and "and" . . .right?

6. Insert your own random thought here. Granddaughter #1 had her dance recital over the weekend. It was nice because we only had to sit through 5 little groups of dancers and their dances were probably about 3 minutes tops. Two teenagers also danced - one at the beginning and one at the end. Of course, we think our girl was the cutest one and the most talented one there :-).

Gran knows that our girl loves
pink and I was able to get
pink gerber daisies

At the end of the recital, the girls
who had danced for 3 years were
given a little trophy and they
had to say their name. She did
a wonderful job of stating her name
and telling everyone how old
she is!

I have a picture with her of everyone who attended except "uncle" Wynn. He was last and I jumped in to grab a shot . . and everyone moved. She is a much loved little girl!!
