Everyone loves it, but I didn't so I think I must have had my mind on something else during the time it was on. As for Disney parks, I've been to Disney World and I just wasn't that impressed. Everything is animated and therefore "fake" and I'm just not into that stuff. For example, I just don't get excited about seeing a fake alligator rising out of the water while riding those cheesy boats. lol! I did enjoy the food and riding the monorail and the kids, who were young then, <br />had a great time.

I am not a big fan of amusement parks anymore. I used to enjoy going, riding a few of the milder rides, and watching everyone else. But amusement parks are usually open in the summer and I can't stand the heat! So if you don't like rides...or heat...what's the point? I do think that we should take Bekah some time, as she was about 17 months old the last time we went. :)<br /><br />Oh my...I am sorry to hear that one of those handsome boys was stung repeatedly!

Yay! 3. Gelato for me too (double yay!!) I'm with you on #4, 100%. 5. Been to Italy, don't care to return. 6. I've been to Disney World in FL twice- first as a teen when it first opened, and then with my kids when they were 10 and12- the perfect ages. Still young enough to have fun on the "kid's stuff" but old enough to enjoy Epcot too, and mature enough to "go" all day without complaining. You would love Disney Vee, it's NOT like other theme parks. Everyone is a kid at Disney. 7. Bitten? Daily it seems, with mosquitoes. Stung? Never (knocking on wood, here) 8. Random thought- will someone please turn off the rain now...? Please?Linda Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781161123677863867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-46146585798333652702014-07-16T22:18:04.179-04:002014-07-16T22:18:04.179-04:00Now that evening is here, I hope you found the sew...Now that evening is here, I hope you found the sewing room to be a comfortable temperature today.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading your Hodge Podge answers and cracked up at the *thud* part.

Love all your answers. We went to Disney in Floriday just once and I don't want to go again. I think I'd choose pizza over gelato and loved Under the Tuscan Sun. I don't need to go to Italy for the heat just now since we're experiencing a lot of it. But I would love to go and see the sights.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-67995743547331480862014-07-16T17:43:01.013-04:002014-07-16T17:43:01.013-04:00These are fun posts to read and make me think abou...These are fun posts to read and make me think about what my answer might have been.

I answered #3 exactly the same - the Gelato in Italy is absolutely out of this world amazing!

The hodgepodge this week made me want to answer the prompts. Agreeing whole heartedly with you on answer number 4! I'm pretty sure even though we were dirt poor we went to Disneyland in their opening year. I would have been 4 years old. The youngest of 4 siblings then. A few years later 4 more siblings came along...<br />Happy Wednesday to you, Vee, and I hope that sewing room isn't too hot.ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-55618944303439958992014-07-16T10:58:24.558-04:002014-07-16T10:58:24.558-04:00Vee, I love that movie too...still get goose bumps...Vee, I love that movie too...still get goose bumps seeing that scorpion.

I watch it now and it brings such a chuckle at how cultural rules have changed (or tears for it was a more polite time in many ways).<br /><br />I don't care for most amusement parks but there is a small-ish one about a 45 minute drive from here that has been a favorite place for my family since I was a little girl. It brings back such nostalgia even if I stay with the little kiddies and don't ride the big stuff with the rest of the family. I get nauseous just thinking of it. My daughter and husband remember the time I left the park literally green after riding one of the rides.Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-34885245819711933262014-07-16T09:24:03.768-04:002014-07-16T09:24:03.768-04:00I always enjoy these Hodge Podge Wednesdays and th...I always enjoy these Hodge Podge Wednesdays and the answers you come up with. I've never been to a Disney Park but we'd love to do it with the grands some year. I was on a small roller coaster at Opryland back in the early 90's I think. I don't like rides, roller coasters, ferris wheels or heights so it wasn't fun. My random thought would be I hope the rain stops falling as we've had enough today, along with a spectacular thunder and lightening show early this morning. I think part of the city is without power again. Have a super day in the sewing room Vee.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-37638074061082732282014-07-16T08:58:40.025-04:002014-07-16T08:58:40.025-04:00Hope you don't mind my following your lead on ...Hope you don't mind my following your lead on new blog parties.
