I liked the theme of today's "hodgepodge" questions and am waiting for laundry to be done, so thought I'd participate again. Head over to this blog to jump in!
1. What does freedom mean to you?
4. What have you purchased recently that made you excited?
Something that made me excited?? Some items for my oldest daughter's birthday which is next week. I'm doing a "milkshake " theme and found some adorable tea towels to go with the theme. I was most excited that they were 2 of $5!! Gotta love Target!
The other exciting purchase I've made are two amphitheatre tickets to this place to see the story ballet Coppelia next week when the NYCBallet is in town. My youngest daughter and I are going!! It's our yearly tradition since she was 8.
5. I'm thankful to live in America (or fill in whatever country you call home) because_____________
because despite the whackos currently leading the nation, we are still a democratic (somewhat) nation with the right to vote, and so many other rights. Although we have some of the most crime of any nation in the world, and some of the most unhappiness people (as compared to the Netherlands that have the happiest people on the planet and a much better social system) we have diversity of people/cultures/religions/languages. We have the beautiful Northeast and all the mountains, the praires of the Mid-West, the beaches on the south, the deserts of the west. We have small villages, National Parks, large cities, and suburban towns. We have beautiful monuments. museums and music halls. We have Broadway musicals and the Boston Red Sox. We have so many colleges and universities for our young people to choose from. I'm thankful I live in America and I pray this nation endures the next few years.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Soon I'll be able to make my fave Summer sandwich" fresh basil, tomato, thin cheddar or lemon beet hummus between slices of Naan spread with vegan Hellmann's. YUMMY!!! |
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEK!!
