Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What do/did you call your grandparents? If it's something unusual tell us the story behind the name. If you're a grandparent what do your grands call you? Who chose your moniker?  Unfortunately my grandparents have all passed away.  However, when they were alive both sets were just Grandpa/Grandma and their last name.  Nugget calls my mom-a-law Nana and my mom Grammy and both grandpas are called Papa but my father-in-law is Papa Bob.  Nugget came up with Nana herself when she was very little.


2. Ever taken a road trip along the California Coast? If so what was the highlight of your trek? If not, any desire to do so? If you were to take a trip along the California Coast what's one attraction you'd have on your must-see list?  Yes!!  Years and years ago after high school graduation.  The Redwoods were amazing!!!


3. What are three things you don't know how to do?   Let's see, there are many things that I do not know how to do so picking three is hard but I am going to pick three things that I don't know how to do and want to learn!   1.  speak Spanish   2.  write in calligraphy   3.  make candles


4. Tom Peters is quoted as saying, 'Celebrate what you want to see more of.' If that's true what will you celebrate and more importantly, how will you celebrate?   Yes!  I think that there can certainly be more love and understanding in this world.  Share it, live it!


5. Thursday (February 16) is National Almond Day. Do you like almonds? Which would you prefer-an Almond Joy or a macaron? What's something you make that calls for almonds?  I love almonds!   Almond Joy is the best of three things, coconut, chocolate and almonds!


6. What does Saturday morning look like at your house?  Getting up and making coffee and usually something yummy for breakfast!  Bacon and eggs or biscuits and gravy are favorites.  I usually strip the bed and wash the sheets.


7. Share with us a favorite book you've read this winter.  I am ashamed to admit that I have not read a book this winter!!


8.  Insert your own random thought here.   Hubby and I are going on a date on Friday night and I am looking forward to it!  We have not had a date night in a long time!
