Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 

1. What do the words 'freedom' and 'liberty' mean to you? Does your mind go in the direction of not being persecuted or discriminated against or does it head in the direction of doing what you please?

Freedom - Americans have fought for our freedom. Young men and women haven given their lives for it. Freedom is the ability to live the way we want, worship the way we want, enjoy the God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness -corny, maybe - but still true.

2. Nathan's sponsors a hot dog eating contest every July 4th. Last year over 40,000 people attended the event and almost 2 million watched it on TV. The winner ate over 60 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. How do you like your hot dogs?

With mustard and cooked over a fire!

3. If you were going to enter an eating contest what would be on the menu?

I like watermelon but don't think I could do a contest - actually don't think I could do a contest with any food - not that I can't put it away at times - but I really don't want an audience while I'm doing it.

4. Do you run your house more as a dictatorship or a democracy?

I, of course, would say a democracy. My children may disagree with that though.

5. Where was your favorite summer place as a kid?

Home - I've always been a home body. Home to me, would be the hills of VA.

6. Do you have a guest room? Would you want to stay there?

I do have a spare room but it's nothing fancy. I wouldn't mind staying there but then it doesn't take much to make me happy.

7. Next Wednesday America celebrates her independence. Do you have any special plans for the 4th of July? If you live outside the USA when and how does your country celebrate its own patriotic holiday?

No plans as of yet.

8. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

As far as the forth of July goes - we get a day off in the middle of the week which I'm not complaining about but I'd much rather have a Friday or a Monday off . That way you'd have more time to actually do something. Anybody taking Thursday and Friday as vacation?
