Wednesday means Hodgepodge time – thanks as always to Joyce for providing the questions. We join in HERE.
1. I live in the south so we’re pretty much only talking about the weather right now. Give us a weather report from where you live. Does the kind of weather you’re having today affect your mood in some way?
I live in Texas, right now Vidor-and we got the harsh cold but we’re spared the ice and/snow. It makes it painful for me with all my health issues, but if I can stay warm, I’m ok.
2. Avocados, kale, cauliflower and cottage cheese have all had their time to shine. 2026 brings us the year of the cabbage. Is this a vegetable you like? If so, what are some of your favourite dishes that call for cabbage?
I like cabbage, but I don’t eat it as much as I should. Maybe at New Year dinner, or in a coke slaw, but we never think about having it as a side on a regular basis. A shame really because it’s so good for you.
3. Was a Cabbage Patch Doll a part of your childhood? Or maybe your children’s childhood? What’s a toy trend from your childhood you remember wanting for your own?
They were popular when my kids were young but I had boys, so no. They had dolls like Stretch Armstrong and Teddy Ruxpin. Me? I had a Chrissie doll with the hair you pull out of her head to make it longer. I also had Barbies and a Mrs Peep baby doll.
4. Something you’ve been doing a lot lately?
Exercise. Movement, but sitting too. My back issues are bad, I can’t stand for long periods but I know I have to move a lot or I will be in worse shape. So, I shoot for 7500 steps a day, but I don’t always get there. One thing I don’t neglect is the stretching. It’s the most important!
5. Somehow it’s the last week of January…sum up your month in just three sentences.
Change.
Cold.
Productive.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I’ve also ben praying a lot. For myself, for David to make the decision God wants him to make for our immediate future, for friends in need. 🙏
One more…I am obsessed with The Chosen and the star that played Jesus. Once the series ended, I started watching Jonathan and Jesus. You should too! It’s amazing.
Wednesday Hodgepodge,
