Olives and a Hodgepodge of flavor

 

Greek Olives and a Hodgepodge of Flavor


Good day,

It is Wednesday and it is time for the Hodgepodge. 

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions. 


1.  When someone finds out what you do or where you're from, what's a question they always ask?

People are absolutely amazed that we grow thousands and thousand of trees for a living. 
Where are you from?   We've never heard of it that town...where is it?
OR.... if we are out of State they always ask....
ARE YOU FROM TEXAS? must be the draw in our accent...

2. Did you participate in 'Greek Life' when you were in college, or have children who did? If so what was your experience like? Taking another tack...Have you ever been to Greece? If not, is that a destination on your bucket list?

I did not participate in the Greek Life and neither did my daughters or grandkids.  
I have not been to Greece and honestly, it is no where near the top of my bucket list.  I would prefer Ireland, Scotland or simply a place like the mountains here in the USA.

3.  Do you like Greek food? If so what is your dish?

I love olives!!  only the green ones though!
Not really big on Greek food.
Olives...they count don't they?

4.  What incredibly common thing have you never done?

No tattoo's here!! I've also never had blue or pink hair, nor have I ever watched "Friends."

5. What is a telltale sign that you're upset?

Oh...this is an easy one!  I don't talk and our house, our car, our closet, etc.... suddenly becomes spotless.  I Clean!!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I'm thinking how nice the rain is this morning.  It has been raining for a couple of hours and the temps are so nice outside.  I'm thinking how nice it is that I do not have to water my outside 
(30 +) pot plants today.

  2. Your background perfectly matches your gorgeous header today! I have always wanted to visit, Scotland, Wales, or Ireland. No tattoos for me. And I must be the only woman alive who does not have pierced ears!

  5. I love your header today!
    I would love Ireland and Scotland too, but it would be cool to see all the old buildings in Greece.
    No tattoos, pink or blue hair, or Friends for me either. No to olives as well!

    1. Thank you Mari. I enjoy making my headers and changing them out. I agree, seeing the architectural part of Greece would be nice

  6. No tats for me, either, and I've only ever had blonde highlights in my hair. I quit having that done during the pandemic, so my hair is what it is naturally. I do like olives, but have no desire to visit Greece. Loved your answers, Shug!

  7. Well, my favorite food is Greek, and I would love to go back to Greece. So we are different there - but that is okay.
    No tattoos in the immediate family.
    No hair colors like pink or blue either.
    Enjoy the rain.

  10. No tattoo's here!! I've also never had blue or pink hair, nor have I ever watched "Friends."


    I like that you put all of these things together. You are probably wiser and less perplexed by not watching Friends. :) It marked a sea change in life outlook in my generation. The first time I watched it I was shocked by the choices they made. Now it seems normal if I catch a clip on You Tube. Programming did that to us.

  11. All the trees that you grow sound interesting.
    I am not a fan of olives although it has been years since I tried them and my tastes have changed.
    Ohh! It must be nice not to have to water all of those pot plants.
