1. What's something you may do this month?
I may go to the zoo sometime this month..I haven't been in a very long time and I want to go before the weather gets too hot to be able to enjoy it. I also....may organize my pantry! I haven't done this in a while and it really needs to be done!
2. Hola! Hodgepodge Day lands just after Cinco de Mayo... how do you feel about Mexican food? What's your favorite dish? Do you make it at home or is it a strictly dine out option?
I live in Texas and Texas is WELL KNOWN for Mexican restaurants. In our neighboring city, there is a Mexican restaurant on every corner and they are always super busy. We are all big fans of this kind of food. Of course, we call it Tex-Mex. I cook Mexican food every chance I get. Enchiladas, tacos, nachos...you name it!! 🌮🌮🌮 When eating Mexican food, I want the whole experience....The noise, the chips and salsa, the hanging pinata's ... All of it..
3. When the children of today grow up what do you think they'll say about this time period? What do you most hope they remember?
I think they will say say it was fast...loud...and full of change. Technology, opinions, everything moving at lightning speed. What I really hope they will say how great it feels to be loved. I do believe that they will remember good things, but I'm sure they will remember the chaos that is in the world today. Hopefully they will understand as they become adults that in this world you work for what you have... There is NO entitlement.
4. What advice would you give a new mother?
Oh sweet new mother...BREATHE!! The days may seem long, but the years pass by fast. Teach them early about God...teach them early about love...make sure they know what family time is all about. Read to them every chance you get...Let them know they are loved...
5. What's a phrase your mother often said to you? If you're a mom do you say it to your own children?
"This too shall pass....it will be okay." She was right!! The hard days, the tears, the worry...they don't stay forever.
I'm pretty sure that I have said this over and over again myself.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We never.... oops....forgot what I was gonna say.
New thought....Sam and I had to run into town yesterday evening so we decided to eat a little Mexican food since it was Cinco De Mayo. We stopped in at "The Jalenpen'o Tree" and ordered our favorites.. For me it was bean and cheese nachos. For Sam it was chicken fajita nachos. We brought half of each plate home with us. And of course...we had to have the flour tortillas with a tad of honey. So good, so yummy!!
this is what I got when I tried to snap a picture of Sam... lol.
Happy Hodgepodge-ing..
I recently reorganized my pantry (how does it get so out of order???) and it feels good to open the doors and see it looking tidy. Love your thoughts on #3. Happy Mother's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter and son-in-law were missionaries in Mexico City for a decade, and she learned to cook true Mexican food. We always enjoyed it when they were home on furlough and she would cook some of their traditional foods. Loved the picture of Sam.
