Fair Well October

Yes, I will be one year older on Saturday, Nov. 1.  Thank you, Mother, for holding off one more day to bring me into the world.  Who wants to be a Halloween baby!

And, thank you, Joyce, for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge.

1. Are you a risk taker? To what degree? 

No, I am not much of a risk taker.  For one who likes to be in control and able to predict to some degree what is coming, taking a risk is not something I desire.  However, I do enjoy planned spontaneity.

2. What's your favorite candy? Would you say you have a sweet tooth?

Most anything chocolate is good for me.  I could eat my weight (and that is getting higher every year) in my friend's Millionaire bars.  Thank you, Judy!

I wrote last week about our Greek grandson-in-law, who runs his family's patisserie, which is one of the best in Athens.  He brought our granddaughter and our adorable great-grandson to Dallas last week, and they were so thoughtful to bring gifts.  One is a little jar of the most wonderful chocolate-covered hazelnut balls.  This is my new favorite.  We are allowing ourselves only one a day.

I do have a sweet tooth that is being controlled these days.

3. Somewhere you've been recently that had you feeling 'like a kid in a candy store'?

I hate to bail out on this one, but I haven't been anywhere that meets this description lately.

 

4. What do you think is the most effective way to make a positive change in the world?

Live and love as Christ did.

 

5. Do you like surprises?

Only if I can choose the surprise. Refer to the answer to #1.

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We got to meet our little Greek great-grandson last Friday, and we totally agree that he is the most adorable little blessing.  He is such a happy, healthy, beautiful, big nine-month-old.

Now, how about the cutest little 3-year-old boy's school picture and his sassy little 1-year-old sister?

Have I told you lately how wonderful our great-grandchildren are?
