Back to the Hodgepodge

 







Thank you, Joyce!









This week's Hodgepodge lands on "Back to the Future Day."  October 15, 2015 was the date the movie characters (Marty McFly, Doc and Jennifer Parker) traveled to in the future in the 1989 film, "Back to the Future Part 2."

Did you see the movie?  Tell us something about what was happening in your life in the fall of 2015:


Would you believe, I've never seen neither the original movie nor Part 2.  For some reason, they never interested me.

In 2015?  Tom and I were living in Goodyear; a large chunk of my body and mind was spent working at The Legacy (Phoenix golf resort).  A tumultuous time, the previous year our company had been acquired by a Big Corporation and the "family" atmosphere we'd enjoyed was pretty much turned on its head.
It took me 3 more years to realize peace of mind trumps all else.

In some ways, re-reading some of my old October 2015 posts* feels like that was last week.  I've come a long way, baby! (lol)




Which -ber month is your favorite?  September, October, November, December?

November!
Tho' we've had a few tastes of cool weather, there's no cause to bring out my beloved hoodies until then.

Even tho' our family no longer exchanges gifts, I still enjoy the thrill of discovering little unusual and whimsical treasures.
I've never outgrown loving the Miles Kimball Christmas catalog.







Red, yellow, orange, bronze ..... your favorite fall color to wear?  To eat?  To see in nature?

I love Auburn orange, but someone once told me I look best in red.
What color is steak? Bronze?
To see in nature?  All the above!




What do you miss most about being 20?

Not a thing!





We're roughly three quarters of the way through the year.  What's one goal, habit or mindset you want to purposely carry into the final weeks of the year?

I'm going with the first thing that popped in my head

AC-centuate the positive, E-liminate the negative!






Insert your own random thought here.






Thank you for being here!

Myra

  1. I cannot remember if I saw the movie or not, if so I could not tell any part of it. Sherry has sort of a diary. a few lines of every day. She could tell of our past, I know some things, but not the dates. November is my fav 'ber' month cause my sweetheart's BD is there. LOL
    Always love to read here.

  2. Nope ... not true ... everything is not temporary. I'm still fighting nettles. Even though it's raining now and I cut them all a few days ago, they're up and strong and laughing at me again. I can hardly get the electric lawnmower out in the rain can I?

    I agree about accentuating the positive though. Nettles tea is good for you. Have you tried it? It tastes EUGH !!!!!

    Great song though! God bless always.
