Bless Your Little Ol' Pea Pickin' Heart

 

Hello friends,

We are expecting a Nor'easter again. Here today, worse tomorrow...the usual.

 

1. Marilyn texted me something that inspired this question, so thank you Marilyn! Of the following sayings, typically associated with the (American) southern way of speaking, which do you most relate to right now? Explain. 

Bless your heart~too big for yer britches~ madder than a wet hen~you're preachin' to the choir~

knee high to a grasshopper~oh my stars.

 Wet hen:  If I explain people wouldn't like it.

2. The Hodgepodge lands on (US) Veterans Day this year. Are you a veteran? Have a family member who's a veteran? If you answered yes, tell us something about them. Will you do anything to mark the day in some special way? 

Yes, I have veteran relatives from most of the wars.  .  No I don't mark the day.

  

3. Is breakfast for dinner a stroke of genius or a sign of total household collapse? Is breakfast for dinner a regular thing at your house? Are all family members on board? 

Breakfast for supper is a way to have a simple meal prep on a busy night.

I like eggs anytime of day.  I also like oatmeal with maple syrup and cinammon. 

Family don't mind.

4. How do you see the world?    As the place we were thrown into because we didn't listen.

5. And this week's gratitude question-what's something about your surroundings (home, neighborhood, city) you're grateful for? 

I live in a great state (New Jersey)  with one of America's lowest crime rates, good schools, high incomes and good people... very good people.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Go ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of heaven

You can justify it in the end

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after

One tin soldier rides away..

lyrics from One Tin Soldier Song
