Wednesday Hodgepodge Foolishness...Vol 20

From This Side of the Pond by Joyce


1. April rolls in at the end of this week and in celebration of that infamous date (April 1st) answer this question-What is something foolish you've done?
This one is actually hard for me....I'm horribly clumbly, so I fall down all the time...I talk too much, so I'm always saying the wrong thing, and I ask WAY too many questions.  DS's caught me dancing and singing in the backyard one day when I was working in the garden and I didn't hear the end of that for a long time, so I'd have to say it doesn't have to be April 1st for me to be foolish!

2. With April comes Easter and that classic edible treat known as Peeps...so tell me...what's your favorite way to fix/eat chicken? That wasn't what you were expecting, was it? I 'fooled' you. teehee.
I LOVE fried chicken, but don't like to clean up the mess.  I also love baked-fried chicken, and last night I made a chicken/stuffing casserole that I got off of the stove-top box.  I don't like BBQ, but I also love grilled chicken-if you don't let it dry out.

3. What's the best museum you've ever visited? Or your favorite? Or the one you'd most like to visit?
Oklahoma isn't known for it's museums..so, I'd have to say the  JFK Museum in Dallas or the hundreds of museums we visited in DC(we visited when I was 14)  If it has quilts in it, i'm all for going tho.  Guess I should note that there's a museum in my town (that I've only been to once) that is a collection of artifacts from our area.  I need to go visit more often. I know I'm probably a minority, but I'm not a museum person. 

4. You know what they say about April showers...what's your preference-a shower or a bath?
The only bathtub we have in our new house is the one-compartment sink in my kitchen.  We're shower people, but I LOVE a hottub.
Remembered I had this pictures on my computer.  Goes to show, if you get dirty at Grandma Sauce-a's house, you get a bath in the sink!  After I looked at this, I saw there was Soft Scrub, Comet, and Dawn all setting there, but what doesn't show is the Baby soap that I keep on stand-by for just this occassion.  Tyler is blurry, but I think it was his turn to get scrubbed.

5. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"...fact or fiction? Why?
I have no idea, but there's some people absent in my life and it wouldn't make my heart any "fonder" if I got to see them more often!  (probably not the response you wanted)

6. What's your favorite product made/grown in your home state/province?
Hard red winter wheat (if it doesn't rain there's not going to be a crop) and homegrown Angus Beef.
Oh, and the three boys that I made and home-grew!
7. What is going on in the world today that affects you the most?
The economy.  How in the world are our grandchildren going to make it in the world the way everything is changing so fast and everything becoming so expensive.  Every product advertised is a "convenience" product that they really don't need.  I hope their upbringing gets them through life.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
This week has been a rough week here at work.  It's cold outside and the wind won't stop howling.  I'm ready for spring to show up and give us some April showers so we can have a better outlook on life.

Love your responses and agree with a lot of them. Except I'm more of a bath person.

I read about a quilt museum in Paducah KY on someones blog today ...that sounds like one you need to see.

I agree with #8...its hard to get ahead as a young adult right now. Mine isn't living extravagantly either...it's just that everything is so expensive including and maybe most especially, the gas she needs to get to the job!

Hope spring turns up soon...we might get snow tomorrow. I am pretending I didn't hear that in the forecast. Ugh.

Such a cute photo! Sad state, the economy.

I was hoping you didn't scrub those babies with comet and soft scrub! Cute picture. Nothing like a bath in the sink.
We also "grow" Angus beef here. Best. Ever. Our kids friends' always ask where we get those awesome burgers... um, out of the freezer!
