Over the Backyard Fence

Of the cities listed how many have you seen in person? Of the cities listed which would you most like to visit this year? Any plans to do so? What's one place in America you think everyone should see? If you're not American what's one place in the US you'd like to see? 

Other than Charleston, I’ve been to all of the cities listed. I enjoyed them all, even though I’m not a huge fan of cities. Our state (Colorado, the “Centennial State”) is celebrating its 150th birthday this year, so there will be plenty of celebration here.

I’m probably biased, but my favorite place to visit is the western US, exploring the mountains and especially the prairie.

2. Three sounds you love to hear? 

My husband’s footsteps coming in the door, the sound of my children’s voices when they call instead of text, my house when it’s quiet.

3. Three sounds you hate to hear? 

Howling wind, people on phones in public places, heavy metal music.

4. February 24th is/was National Tortilla Chip Day. Are you a fan? With salsa, guacamole, queso, or just plain please? Do you like nachos? With what on top? Is there anything (besides nachos) you make that calls for tortilla chips? 

I don’t consider myself a big fan, until they are put in front of me. Then I can’t stop eating them, especially if they are warm and fresh.

5. We March into March with next week's Hodgepodge...what's one thing on your March calendar that makes you smile? 

We’ll be spending a week with our son and his family later this month! It’s been far too long, and there will be much catching up to do with Luke and Miranda and our five grands!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We haven’t had much of a winter, however I am still longing for spring. I picked up some tulips at the grocery store yesterday. The crocus and hyacinths are already sprouting up in our yard. I imagine Old Man Winter is snoozing away in his den somewhere. I just hope he doesn’t awaken and come out with a vengeance!
