HodgePodge

1.  What rule of life should never be broken?
  Not sure if this counts as  "rule" or not , Treating others with Kindness and Respect.

2.  What's your favorite family recipe? 
Don't have one...well wait Slovakian Hoska Bread, though I don't have the original recipe anymore.

3.  Is the media manipulative? 
~insert throaty resisting laugh here~ I could rant for days on this question. Media in general has become an annoyance of mine from poor quality and standards to intentionally causing panic and chaos. Not to mention in the written form filled with constant errors and lack of fact backing. Everything is becoming editorial rather than actual news.

4. Hubs and I saw Skyfall last weekend...are you a fan of the Bond films? If so, who's your favorite Bond?
Ahhh this explains all the Bond related blogging lately. Never been one for Bond, never watched an actual one.

5. What is one thing you hope people never say about you?
That they never felt I loved them at any point in our lives. There are a few people I have had to part ways with for various reasons, but once I love I don't stop. Even if no longer part of my life I still love them, just can't live with them.

6.  What's a nearby tourist attraction you'd like to see, but haven't gotten around to visiting? 
Colonial Williamsburg, though I have been there before it has been many years since and much as developed and changed. For years I have wanted to simply drive the parkway during fall to take photos but never had the time, then was with out camera, and just got a camera after the season peak. So here is hoping to next year.

Norfolk Botanical Gardens is another one I think I would enjoy visiting and taking photos. I have driven past it but never visited. Those I know whom have gone loved it.

There are a few museums and theaters I would like to check out one day in downtown Richmond as well. Limited funds prevent many ventures from occurring though.

7.  Where's your favorite tree?
 :) My Willow. At least that is what I called it. It was at a park near my home in Va Beach when I was a kid. I loved reading while nestled upon it's  branches, surrounded by it's curtain lost in an enchanted world, hiding from hurt and pain. I say was for many years back a storm took it out knocking it into the water.  I have always dance with willow trees and had a love of them for them in general.

8.  Random Thought:
           Look at the size of this sweet potato! 

  
Hubby picked this up while picking up a few items from the store on his way home. It is almost the size of a foot ball, it wasn't the biggest one there either! Crazy.

In other news My niece is having her first fundraiser, my how times have changed. It is online and pretty cool the way it works not only are there items but you can also donate directly to the classroom, shop 200+ national merchants with some special offers and a percentage goes to her school. Sure different from when I was a kid walking with booklet in hand. But makes it nice for those family and friends whom don't live close.  My in-laws rock and already donated, I am waiting on payday! 

Gonna add one more thing here seeing as I was typing Random Thought out  I heard a commotion outside. Say a prayer for my Neighbor. Sad  I don't know her name only the husband's, Bill.   She has had health issues as long as we have lived in this house and rarely comes out. Right now the paramedics are over there.  It's been well over a year since last time they were there in the middle of the night.  Most our neighbors are original owners and retired. Awesome bunch they are though.  Our neighbor straight across the street moved in one week before we did, ironically he shares Hubby's birthday, sweet man. Though we don't all interact a whole lot we keep an eye out for one another.  We are the youngins  and interesting the relationships we have formed with little interaction.
