Hodge Podge about Spring

On this first official day of spring tell us something (besides the weather) you're looking forward to in this season of the year.

I must say that the first official day of spring seemed more like winter was still here and that spring had not arrived. It left me looking forward to warmer days to get and enjoy nature and family times The warmer days definitely falls under the category of weather but family time is great year round. Spring is awesome for being with family and friends sitting around the fire pit, getting in the garden, the farmers markets and so much more.

When it comes to spring cleaning would you rather wash windows or wash baseboards? Clean out closets or clean out the garage? Dust ceiling fans or dust bookcases? Wipe down the patio furniture outside or wipe down the light fixtures inside? Any of these tasks recently completed?

It is most definitely time for spring cleaning Washing windows reminds me of great times with my daddy. Each spring he would wash windows for many elderly individuals and me and my sister would go work with him. Now days though baseboards would be more like the work around the house I do now. I need to clean out the closet and while I don't have a garage I do have storage sheds that need organized. I do the closets on regular basis and I believe cleaning the storage units would be fun just to see what all is in there. Heights are not my thing and washing off patio furniture would get me outside so I would choose the later.

Your favorite thing to make/eat that calls for cream cheese? Sour cream? Whipped cream?

My favorite thing that has cream cheese would be simple ritz crackers with cream cheese. My daughter would most likely say she loves my cheesecake treats that contains cream cheese or the appetizers with a Mexican flair . Sour cream is what I love to have on my baked potatoes it is also something I put in lots of recipes from mashed potatoes to dips like the sweet onion dip my family loves. Whipped cream is perfect for those summer treats as well to serve atop hot cocoa


I read here a list of commonly mispronounced words. What is a word that gives you trouble when it comes to pronunciation?

spelling is often frustrating for me, saying may be a stumbling block at times as well. It seems one word that I trip over a lot is aluminum foil. 

What's a song you love with the word 'rain' in the title or lyrics?




Insert your own random thought here.

My random thought is an experience I had just today. I work outside of the house and today is my payday. I put my entire check into the bank and went grocery shopping. I tried to use my bank card to pay and it was denied. That was just the start of the issue. What was to follow came as a large surprise 

I paid in cash for my groceries and headed home to call the bank. What I found out was that my privacy had been invaded. My bank had blocked use of my card as it had some odd transactions on it. For one thing in the past 3 weeks I had been in many different states using my card for things such as hotels, eats, drinks and etc... My card number had been stolen and in the morning my card will be taken to the bank to get a new one and my money is protected. I am happy to bank with a company like the one I have and sad to see that something like this could happen to anyone including me.
