Wednesday Hodgepodge Turns Blue

Just wanted to show off my beautiful kids with whom I could not be more pleased, enjoying events from last week.  Notice they are carrying out the blue theme.

Thank you for joining us for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge where Joyce gives us six things to ponder and answer.  Click HERE to join the discussion.

1. Are you currently making plans of any kind?

Yes

What kind?

I am planning an 80th birthday celebration for my husband the end of August.

What emotions are associated with the planning process?

I am excited to celebrate this milestone for my sweetie.  We will have a small gathering for family members who can attend, at our daughter's home in Dallas.  I am disappointed that our son and his family won't be able to attend due to pre-wedding events in Indiana for grandson Jackson that weekend.

Tell us about one plan you had to cancel due to the current situation which shall remain nameless. Ha!

We were unable to make our usual trip to Northern Indiana in May to visit our family up there.  Having to cancel that trip has made this the longest period of time we have ever gone without seeing each other.

2. Last time you saw stars, either literally or figuratively?

I can literally see stars on any given night if there isn't a cloud cover or a Sahara Dust covering the sky.

3. Blueberries yay or nay? Blueberry pie, blueberry muffins, blueberry yogurt, blueberries by the handful...what's your pleasure?

YAY to blueberries!  I like blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, and blueberry yogurt.  Not so much by the handful.  The most common way we use blueberries are frozen in our cereal and smoothies.

4. Swim against the tide, swimming upstream, in the swim, sink or swim, makes your head swim...choose one of the 'swim' idioms listed and tell us how/why you relate?

Some of the recent SCOTUS decisions make my head swim.

So much that has and is happening in our country makes my head swim.

Why medicare has suddenly denied payment for normal lab tests makes my head swim and my ire to rise.

5. Sum up your June in a single sentence.

June brought more hot, humid weather and some discontent, as well as time with some precious grands, family and friends.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

While her family was on the beach, Sophie was my house guest last week.  I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this sweet one-eyed pup.

Savannah, who will be receiving her BA and MA degrees from Trine University next spring, has been working from home - literally all over the house - this summer.  She has had the assistance of the "cutest doggie in the whole wide world" (according to her adorers). Skye truly is the sweetest and such a princess just like her Savannah.

And this is my random thought week wrap-up.
