The Wednesday Hodgepodge

Tonight , Tuesday, we are in the midst of a huge thunderstorm and the sea is roaring mad.  The lightning is non stop.  The weather suddenly turned hot and humid today too... ugly high humidity.  Its been so cool with chilly nights so we are spoiled.  Storm in the Atlantic are raging right now though.

 From this Side of the Pond

1. What's something you wanted to do this summer that you never got around to doing?  Have a ton of barbeques with hot dogs, potato salad, Boston baked beans, salad, watermelon ... all the goodies.

 2. Were you the student who sat in the front row or hid in the back of the class? Our seats were assigned. You sat according to the teachers plan.

 If you could go back and take one high school class again just for fun, which would it be?   Well if I go back and can not be disabled anymore I would take gym again for fun.  I loved it and was very athletic.

 3. What characteristics do you think are essential in a good teacher (this can be applied to anyone who teaches, not just classroom teachers)? 

Patience , kindness and good humor.

 4. September 2nd is National Grits Day. Have you ever eaten grits?  Yes I have.

 Are you a fan?  Nppe!

 If so how do you like yours?      I like them best if they are on someone else's menu but not mine.

 Would people describe you as 'having grit'?  I guess so but you need to ask them.

 5. What's something you're never too old or too young to enjoy?     Having a good time and a good life.

 6. Insert your own random thought here.

I enjoyed living this kind of childhood life.     What about you?  Did you explore when you were a kid?

Enjoy your Wednesday....

Survey Time

Hello friends,

August is winding up and this Sunday morning it is 58°F.  Chilly!

Tuesday 4 is available now . I hope you will sign up and take part.

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

This week's meme was inspired by F, Yeah Surveys. She admits she does too many of these, but we get it. We do, too.

SURVEY TIME!

1. What will you remember from August 2026?  The lovely cool evenings and breezy sunny days. The lovely thunderstorms that gave us needed rain too.

2. When will you start your holiday shopping?  I already have some things. 

3. Where did you meet the person you fell the hardest for?   Honestly, I never fell hard for anyone. I am a very laid back person and extremes are not my thing.  I met my late husband when I was about 16 at a popular ice cream parlor in his hometown which was the town right next to mine.

4. Where did you meet your best friend?  It was on a  sabbath over 40 years ago.  We had common things to talk about. 

5. Share a fact about the last person who texted you.  It was the Famous Anonymous. She is talented and smart!

6. EXTRA! EXTRA! Since June's DIY meme was such fun, let's do it again. Please close out this post with a question for your fellow Sunday thieves. Hopefully we'll have enough responses for a September DIY.  

a. can you name 2 songs that make you happy, 2 that can bring you down and 2 you find romantic? Ph and maybe 2 that rev you up?
