Having said that, though, I am grateful for evolutionary comforts, like the internet and my smartphone as they allow me the luxury of seeing my loved ones that live far away, snapping pics and sending them in a matter of seconds across the world, and of course, blogging, all the way from my little village in the mountains!<br /><br />Enjoyed your hodgepodge today, as always. Have a wonderful weekend, Debby!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-80602061451207121932017-05-19T11:52:07.937-07:002017-05-19T11:52:07.937-07:00Your new mirror is beautiful, Debby!

I've never been good at canning but did often use a pressure cooker--though I was always a little afraid of them. Now they seem to be back in "vogue" again. Kind of amusing, I think, to see things "come back" as we grow older.podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-89074796239626189782017-05-18T15:05:26.824-07:002017-05-18T15:05:26.824-07:00Such a fun read...and I love that mirror!Such a fun read...and I love that mirror!MarmePurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500222210426502889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-91367419684108679152017-05-18T11:28:51.491-07:002017-05-18T11:28:51.491-07:00I loved reading this post...LOVE LOVE LOVE that ol...I loved reading this post...LOVE LOVE LOVE that old mirror and what you did with the flowers!

Of course I remember that song, the falsetto, the whole thing. <br />I am a definite sugar addict, but I've only realized it in the last year. I can do well without it, but if I start, WHOA! Step back, because I'm eating it! Lol!<br />Have a great day, and I'm glad Mother's Day was such a great time for you :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-79783029839550201542017-05-17T21:37:45.451-07:002017-05-17T21:37:45.451-07:00You always share such interesting hodgepodge thoug...You always share such interesting hodgepodge thoughts! First of all, I love your new banner, the watercolor effect is so awesome! And I still don't have a smartphone either, but I bet if I ever do, my fav thing will be the camera too. There have been many times I have wished I had my camera with me, and all I have is my old flip-phone camera, lol. As for sweets, I agree with you on the salty.. that is my go-to snack, more than sugar. I eat very little sugar, although I love it in my coffee. And your random thought was hilarious, such a difference from the world we grew up in where things were hush-hush to today where private matters are shouted from the housetop... I wish life could be more simpler like it was then... Always a joy to visit with you my friend, have a blessed week :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-54165972463971859752017-05-17T18:33:20.671-07:002017-05-17T18:33:20.671-07:00What fun that was reading your answers, Debby.

We then lived for six weeks without electricity. It was not hard because we had prepared. I've always been thankful for that training, as I have cooked from scratch ever since.

My daughter in law used one to cook the ribs on Sunday and it was a dream. I've never had one. That song! I remember it well as it was a hit about the time I first started listening to music on the radio. Probably 6th or 7th grade. Funny how it transports you right back huh?

But I was a "town girl" and such things weren't even on my radar! And then my niece had an incident with a pressure cooker which sealed the matter for me. (Pun intended.) In recent years, I have done a little water bath canning (because it doesn't require the pressure canner) and that has been enjoyable and rewarding. <br /><br />Love your mirror! What a bargain! <br /><br />Still giggling about your song memory . . .

May 17th is National Pack Rat Day. Sidebar-should we be celebrating this? Hmmm... Are you a pack rat? Even if you're not a full fledged pack rat, most people have one thing or another they struggle to part with. Tell us what's yours.<br />YES I am a pack rat! The thing I seem to struggle with the most when it's come to parting with would probably be my dishes! My name is Cindy and I am a dishaholic! LOL! <br /><br />2. What are two things you know you should know how to do, but you don't?<br />Well, after reading your answer I must say that I can also say the same thing. But one thing that comes to mind is "Putting up fresh corn". Girl, I know it's GOOD but dang it's hard work! <br /><br />3. Do you crave sugar? Do you add sugar to your coffee and/or tea Do you use artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes?? When dining out is dessert a given? Very seldom do we ever eat dessert out at a restaurant...where do you put it after the size of those meals? When we do, it how can you Are you someone who has slain the sugar dragon, and if so tell us how you did it.<br />No I don't crave sugar, thank the Lord. I do use a sugar substitute for my coffee and hot tea. I use sugar for my tea but this old Southern Gal cut back on the sweet tea years ago and now it's made for Sunday dinners, and one night through the week. BUT NOW DIET COKE IS A WHOLE NUTHER STORY! LOL! We very,very seldom order dessert when eating out. But if I am forced too...it's cheesecake baby!<br /><br /><br />4. What's a trend it took a while for you to come round to, but now you can't imagine living without?<br />Smart phone no doubt! <br /><br />5. What's a song that reminds you of a specific incident in your life? Please elaborate.<br />LOL! I immediately thought about Three Dog Night! That was my very first concert I ever went too. "Joy to the World" <br /><br /> <br />6. Insert your own random thought here.<br />I am ready for another cup of coffee! And a cookie! LOL!<br /><br />Hugs and blessings sweet Lady.
