Wednesday Hodgepodge

Our Wednesday Hodgepodge Hostess:  Joyce

1.  Tell us a little bit about the best birthday you've ever had.

The next one!

2.  In what way(s) have you changed in the last five years?

Five years ago this week, we celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary with family in Hot Springs, AR.

This year we celebrated #57 at home with a different set of family.

How have I changed?  Besides the obvious age related differences, I'm thinking more about what we are passing on to the three generations now, and those to come.  Will they find that we were faithful to God's calling when that time comes?

I am also willing to spend a couple hours in the middle of the day watching a movie.  That may well be the greatest change.

3.  What's your favorite thing about the street on which you live?

This is an aerial view of our Village and my house if below the white arrow.  As you can see, my street does not distinguish itself from any other.  What does make it special for us are our neighbors and friends.  

The location of our community is one of the most desired in Plano right now, and that is good.  In fact, Shaquille O'Neal recently bought a home in an adjoining neighborhood down the street from us.

4.  The Hodgepodge lands on National Beer Day...are you a beer drinker?  What's a recipe you make that lists beer as one of the ingredients?  If not beer, how about yeast?

Don't drink or use beer and haven't used yeast in years.

5.  As I grow older I would like to be a woman (or man, if there are any men in the HP today) who is the face of Christ wherever I go, and especially at home.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

A few months ago I discovered the most amazing thing.

The Renpho Eye Massager stays on my nightstand.  It massages the eyes, sinus area, and temples with heat and hot air.  I use it to help relax and reduce eye strain.  It was wonderful while traveling.  It is also supposed to help relieve dark circles and eye bags, but I'm still waiting on that.

I wish I had had this when I was being plagued with migraines, but it does help relieve a nagging headache.

You can also connect it to Bluetooth music, but I'm still content with the repetitious music settings.  It runs for a 15 minute cycle, and a few times I have repeated the cycle.

I highly recommend this and have given it as gifts.  The only problem is it can't be used if you've had any kind of eye surgery.
