Mem'ing on a Saturday...

I was telling Annie that I really didn't have anything in common with this week's Meme...and she mentioned something about the beach. LOL

So, can we talk about how your autumn is going this year? Maybe we can get you to post a photo or two

of your area in autumn...big changes or not.

1. Are leaves still falling where you are or are they done now? Have they even changed yet?

Leaves? In Florida? LOL---SO, yes, they do change color, but not like up north. I have noticed subtle changes, but nothing like where we use to live. I also have noticed the Palm trees that go to a subtle brown.

2.  Does anyone in your family go hunting? Have you ever gone? Would you tell us about it?

My husband and son use too...my husband doesn't find it fun anymore, it was all about spending time with our son...and since he is gone now...both were expert marksmen and safety conscious.

 3.  Who rakes the leaves at your house?

Leaves? In Florida? LOLOL--They fall year around especially with the drought we have been experiencing. Hubby does the outside work and it's a constant battle.

4. Is football on your menu for fall? What teams get you cheering?

The Florida Gators and Alabama, both college teams. The Gators aren't doing well this season. We don't watch Pro football thanks to the anti-American sentiments etc.

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day. Is yours in need of a cleaning? Will you get that done today? How often do you tackle this particular chore?

Hubby cleaned out the fridge the other day. He probably cleans it out like twice a week. Not that we have many leftovers, mind you.

2. November 15th is also National Philanthropy Day...tell us about a charity (local or otherwise) you like to support when you're able. 

We support:

 

3.What in nature inspires you and why? 

Ormond Beach, Fl.

seriously? Does this need an explanation? The world's problems could get solved if one just would stop and breathe.

4. What's something you own that makes you feel cozy? 

It's not so much that it is owned; it's the idea of home itself. Getting home from a long day at work, seeing my husband is what makes me feel cozy.

5. Who did you thank today? A coworker yesterday. There was an incident between 2 coworkers, and I apologized to her for the actions of the other person who was not reciprocal in accepting her apology for slamming files down on the counter to the person who took an air of superiority. It disturbed me, the actions of the other person who took an air of superiority (since she got a promotion and was acting like the queen)...Who thanked you? The same person. I am forever the peace maker, so it seems. Sometimes one just has to be the peacemaker, both were wrong, but one apologized and the other didn't. Actually, the one who didn't took it a step further and reported the other person, of course I was drugged into it as I was one of the witnesses. I hope and pray that my statement will end it.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My thoughts are on the upcoming holiday season. A bit melancholy as our son's 2nd anniversary of his passing is coming up, but also for the general feelings of the holiday season. And the very fact that this season makes people in general cray cray...my hope and prayer is folks just need to stop and take in the beauty of this season.
