Wednesday Hodgepodge for 20 February 2013

1. When were you last 'on a mountaintop'? You may answer in the literal or figurative sense.

Last weekend when I was in La Crosse, WI.  I have not been to my hometown mountain top (Tip Top in Missouri) in many years.

2. Do you establish and maintain a strict budget in your household? What is one piece of financial advice you would offer someone just starting out on their own?

I work on a budget but not a strict budget.  The best advice I can give is:  Pay all your bills first, then if there is anything left over buy yourself a little something.

3. Cherries-yay or nay? Cherry pie, cherry cola, black forest cake, or a scoop of Ben and Jerry's Cherries Garcia...pick one.

I will take all of that please!  But since I have to choose just one....Black Forest Cake!

4. Should you ever discuss religion or politics with people you don't know?

No, you should never get into a discussion about politics or religions with strangers.  Hell, I don't think you should even discuss it with family...causes too much drama.

5. When you take a road trip do you prefer to be the driver or the passenger? Where were you headed on your last road trip?

I don't mind driving but I would rather be the passenger so I can takes naps.  My last road trip was to the graveyard to visit with Grandma & Grandpa Wamsley.

6. If we peeked inside your closet, what color would we say is most prevalent?

Black.

7. Who's your favorite senior citizen and why are they special?

My mother-in-law and father-in-law.  Those two are two of the kindest people I know.  I am proud to be a part of their lives.

8. Random Thought:

I have lived in Wisconsin for four years and I really miss home (Missouri).  However, I miss HOME as in mom, dad, Grandpa Henson, Grandma Henson, and my aunts/uncles/cousins.  I miss family fish frys, family trips, going to Black River and oh so much more.
