AuburnChick's Adventures

Look at me being pun-ny with the title of this week’s Hodgepodge, hosted by Joyce.

There are quite the variety of questions, and I am down for them.

Thanks for visiting, and I will do my very best to reciprocate!

1. What do you like most about your family? 

I’m not sure if I can pick one thing I like the most about my family. I guess, if I have to, I’d say that I love that my little crew is always up for an adventure. I’m not sure that anyone exactly verbalized having a yearly family trip, but that is exactly what’s happened the last two years. I’m already tossing around ideas in my mind for the end of next spring and can’t wait to broach the subject when my kiddos are here in a few weeks.

2. What’s something nice that’s happened to you recently? 

Gosh. I’m so blessed that nice things happen to me frequently. What stands out the most was when my coworker brought back a vegan cookie from Insomnia Cookies one day after lunch. It was literally a sweet pick me up that carried me through the afternoon.

3. Do you like the color orange? Besides a pumpkin and an actual orange, what’s something orange you love?

Y’all, I am an Auburn fan. I love all things orange, but it’s more of a burnt orange, not the light orange of Tennessee, the bright orange of UF, or the brown-orange of Texas A&M.

This is the orange sweatshirt I bought for the game against Georgia game . . . the night all Auburn fans learned the correct way to clap. Ahem. I may still be salty about that game.

4.  What’s something you have now you couldn’t have imagined having five years ago? How does that make you feel? What’s possible now because of it? 

Five years ago, I didn’t have any grandchildren. One was on the way, but she hadn’t made her appearance yet. Now, we have three precious angels, and their sweet little selves makes my heart overflow with love. Watching them grow up, learn to walk, talk, and crack jokes is the most amazing honor of my life.

What’s possible now is looking at the world through their innocent eyes – accepting people at face value without preconceived notions – and simply living life full throttle without caring quite as much about what people think.

5. Let’s wrap this one up with an October this or that…

• pumpkin bread or apple cider donut
• cozy sweater or cozy hoodie
• apple picking or pumpkin picking
• scary movie or Hallmark movie
• hay ride or corn maze
• twinkle lights or candles
• autumn hike or autumn bonfire

I’ll take the following please: apple cider donut, cozy hoodie, apple picking, neither type of movie because I don’t like scary or cheesy, hay ride, candles, and an autumn bonfire

6. My Random Thought

Sunday, I woke up with a bit of a sore throat thanks to a close football game the night before that required the excessive use of my lungs to yell cheer encouraging words to my beloved Tigers.

I ran a couple of errands and made a rare stop at Starbucks to grab one of these.

I still miss Charlie so much. His ability to kindly debate a variety topics was inspiring, and his faith was resolute.

Sigh.

I continue to pray for his wife and family as they try to figure out how to live their lives honoring his memory and serving the Lord.
