(The giveaway is below).

Here are the questions for this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge.  Answer on your own blog, then hop back here tomorrow to add your link to the party. The more the merrier...click here.

1. The first week of August is National Simplify Your Life Week...what's one thing you could do this week to qualify as a participant?

This summer we have been making our home and processions lighter.  I think while it wasn't simple to do - the more things you get rid of and the less you have - makes your life much simpler.

2. It's also National Peach Month...peach pie, peach cobbler, or please pour me a Bellini?  What's your peach pleasure?

Well I live in Georgia THE PEACH STATE -  So all of the above - Bellini's, peach oie, peach cobbler, peaches - anything peach - I LOVE!

3. Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, "Do one thing every day that scares you." Agree or disagree...explain.

I have that quote right on my desk,  So you know it has to mean something to me.  I totally agree.  And I try to live it every day.  Makes you strong!

4. What's your favorite household chore?  Yes-you have to name one.

Laundry - love the smell and feel of it.  Good thing too -because I have a lot of it.

5. Fodors recently listed (what they've dubbed) the ten most beautiful sunset spots in America. Click here to read more and see the pretty pictures, but this is their list:

Butterfly Beach in Santa Monica CA, Mount Haleakala in Maui HI, Old Fort Marcy Park in Santa Fe NM, Laguna Beach CA, Hopi Point in Grand Canyon AZ, Four Seasons in Miami FL, Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica CA, Gay Head in Martha's Vineyard MA, Ensign Peak in Salt Lake City UT, and Mallory Square in Key West Florida.

Have you seen the sun set from any of these spots?  If you could choose to watch the sun set this weekend from one spot on the Fodors List, which would you choose?  Where was the prettiest sunset you've ever seen?

I have never seen the sunset from any of those places.  If I could I would pick Butterfly Beach in Santa Monica because I could see my sister as well. Maybe I did when I was there before and just forgot to notice- I wouldn't forget now!

Now the most beautiful sun - I have ever seen was when I was in Alaska - it was summer and I don't know if it ever set.  I do know at certain times of year the  northern lights are there and it is spectacular.  I'm surprised it's not on his list.

6. What's your favorite or most used app?  If you don't use apps how about your favorite or most visited website?

Pinterest and Facebook!

7. We've recently passed the halfway mark for 2013...write a seven word sentence that sums up your year thus far. 

Time for me is moving too fast!

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

My grandson starts school on Monday.  It's a private school with a hard curriculum and he has ADHD.  We just feel that it is the best place for him and so does he, but he has to work very hard.  Last year was rough.  I would love if everyone sent up a quick prayer for him. THANKS!
