Wednesday Hodgepodge

It is tine again for the weekly Hodgepodge. 

1. Ice skating, skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, playing in the snow, or a snowy walk...which winter activity do you choose? Have you done any of these activities so far this winter? 

I honestly do not choose any - I hate being outside in the cold. As a kid I would go out to play in in the snow and go sledding. I am very clumsy so skating and skiing are definitely out - I have no desire to break anything.

2. Everyone is posting pictures from ten years ago on their social media sites so let's jump on the bandwagon too. Share one photo and one thought to go with said photo from the year 2016. And maybe everyone isn't doing this, but many are and we're going to be part of the fun. 

2016 was an interesting year - I turned 40, Clark was 8 years old and we were 2 years away from Preston being born. Here is a picture of the 3 of us from when we went to Atlanta for our niece's wedding.

3. What's a trend you hope disappears in this new year? 

The trend of people taking joy in the suffering of others. 

4. 'They' say there's a day for everything and January 21st proves it. National Granola Bar Day. Do you like granola bars? How about just regular granola? Do you like bars of other kinds? 

I do like granola bars. The Quaker Oats Chewy Chocolate Chip are a favorite around here. I have not had granola much but have enjoyed it when I have had it. I do like all kinds of bars, especially dessert ones.

5.  A frozen lake, a trickling stream, a raging river, or a deep well...which one describes something about your life right now? Elaborate as much or as little as you like.

I would say a trickling stream. There are a lot of things in the works for me this year but so far progress has been slow. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

In true Michigan fashion I am going to complain about the weather. It has been extremely cold, snowy and very windy the last few days. I am so over it already and we have at least 2 more months before we get a break.
