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! 

This week's questions: 


1. Which do you prefer-pretty gift wrap with a bow or a pretty gift bag with/without a bow?  What percentage of your holiday gifts are currently (as in right this very minute) wrapped in some form or fashion? I like both wrapped and bagged gifts. None are wrapped yet.

2.  What is one item on your Christmas list this year? I don't really need anything.

3.  What makes a home? Love makes a home.

4.  Motown founder Berry Gordy celebrates his birthday on Hodgepodge Day-November 28th. Are you a fan of the Motown sound?  If so, who's your favorite Motown artist and/or song? Here's a list in case you're stuck.  Not a fan - don't know any artists.

5.  Red or green-which one is more prevalent in your closet? Definitely green - it's my favorite color. I've been told that I look good in red but it has never been a color that I like.

6.  True or false-bacon makes it better? If you answered true, what's your favorite dish made with bacon? True - I put bacon in my potato soup.

7.  Share a favorite holiday memory. Some of my favorite memories are of when the kids were little. Like the time my son was about 2 and got a flashlight in his stocking. He was so happy with that flashlight we had trouble getting him to open any of his presents.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.There was an accident here last night - semi trailer hauling hogs turned over in an intersection. Driver wasn't injured - didn't say how many pigs were (they were headed to slaughter). They say none of the pigs escaped - can you imagine pigs running round town? It took them hours to offload them to another trailer.

  3. I completely forgot about bacon in potato soup! Is there any other way to eat it?

  4. I remember one year I put a pack of gum in my oldest daughter's stocking. She'd never had gum before and that might have been her favorite gift : ) She chewed the whole pack in about 15 minutes!

  5. Pigs running around!? Oh no! Sounds like some good bacon on the loose!

  7. I'm big into gift bags...I am not a good wrapper. At all. it's honestly quite pathetic. I should take a course one year. LOL

    Love Bacon!! Oh my, yes, the more the better. We make this awesome green beans and bacon dish that is amazing. Also, summer time equals BLT sandwiches daily!

    My fave colour is red. luckily, it does look okay on me.

    No, I cannot imagine pigs running loose on the highway! LOL but thank goodness the driver was okay.

  8. Awhile ago, a cattle truck was blown over by high winds. Took awhile for word to get around that the truck had been empty.
