Wednesday Medley Oct 17, 2018

I have missed being part of the Wednesday Medley the last few weeks, so come join in with us.  Thank you Terri at Your Friend From Florida for hosting us each week.

HAPPY FALL FROM MY HOUSE TO YOURS!

1.  The Circleville, Ohio, Pumpkin Festival starts today.  All things pumpkin are everywhere. What is your one very favorite pumpkin flavored food or drink?  Do you wish it was available all year or do you only want it in the Fall?

I am not a big pumpkin lover so I don't have a favorite pumpkin flavored food or drink.  I don't mind a pumpkin flavored candle burning for a short time, but even that scent can be overpowering.

I do however, like the color pumpkin and enjoy using it in my house as well as on my body during my favorite season.

2.  What product would you seriously stockpile if you found out they weren't going to sell it anymore?

My Mary Kay facial products

3.  What is the most interesting thing you have seen online this week?

There are so many.  I tend to be a conspiracy theorist or at least an interested one.  There are a lot of things going around about a Red October that I have found very interesting.  But, perhaps the most recent interesting news is Elizabeth Warren's DNA test results.  My dad used to tell us that we were part American Indian but there is absolutely no sign of that in my DNA tests.  However, I am 65% English so am wondering if I might just have some royal blood back there somewhere.  Nope, don't think that is a possibility either.  Have you done DNA testing?  Were you surprised by the results?

4.  Is it better to be a "big fish in a small pond" or a "small fish in a big pond"?

Interesting question.  I think there are times that both could be beneficial but also a deterrent to being all one could be.  I think it is the self perception when one sees themselves in either of these categories that could be the problem.  An over inflated ego would see themselves as a "big fish" and, a lack of self esteem or confidence could cause one to see themselves as a "small fish."  On the other hand, the first could be an opportunity for one to step up and be an humble example to others in the pond; in the latter, a chance to prove oneself capable and worthy of the big pond.

Long answer I suppose to say that I think it more healthy to not see oneself as a fish in any pond, but an instrument of God to accomplish His will where ever He puts you.

5.  My Joe has become obsessed with playing chess on the computer.  Do you play chess?  Are you good at it?

No, have never played and not interested in learning.  We do enjoy playing some other games on the computer and iPad though.

6.  Tell us something random about your week.

Today happens to be our youngest Grand's 12th Birthday.

We will be in Dallas on Friday for Grandparent's Day at PCA and can't wait to see her.

Then that night these three besties will celebrate all their birthdays together, which has been their tradition for years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ella, Chandler and Ava Grace.

Having gotten home and settled after our 3-week trip, I have spent time on the computer updating my blog posts.  I love going back and posting fun things we do on our travels.  It not only may interest someone else but is a record for us to keep and enjoy for years to come.
