A bit of fall color lingering plus some random laughs

Did you miss me?  What’s that, you didn’t know I was gone?!  Well, I’m back from our staycation.  We had a lovely relaxing time just doing whatever we pleased.  We got a chance to visit the mountains twice.  Below, I created a photo gallery from both trips so that you can enjoy the views.  

Nov 9 Mt. Mitchell view 2
At Mt. Mitchell, the park is building new bathroom on the concession side of the existing structure and bales of hay, lumber just struck me as interesting. The evening light worked its magic just perfectly.

Not wanting to rush things after the return of staycation, I decided to fill in advance today’s post full of laughs.  Warning…if you have your morning coffee in hand, you may want to sit your mug down.  I don’t want to be liable for any hot coffee spilled in your lap. 🙂    

Please join the Wild Wednesday linky party where just about anything goes!  This is an excellent way for you to do a little self-promoting of your current post or another your favor. There aren’t any rules, except to keep things family friendly.  

I’m going to take the easy way out by using Joyce’s last week Wednesday Hodgepodge questions because I know I will be too far behind to squeeze in her current set, so I apologize for being a rule bender.  

1. How did you name your blog and do you now wish you had thought about it maybe another five minutes before hitting publish? Would you change your blog title if it were not a huge pain in the derriere? Curious as a Cathy is a play on words, “Curious as a cat”.  This isn’t my original blog name.  When I started blogging 11 years ago, I was simply known as Cathy Kennedy’s Blog.  I wasn’t an established or even successful author, just a hopeful children’s writer who had grand ideas that my one-time book publishing adventure would be the golden road to new things.  It was in those early years I hit Blogosphere doing a bit of self-promoting only to learn that it was a whole lot harder than I anticipated. I soon found out that wasn’t for me but I loved the community and decided to stay around.

2. What bill do you least like to pay? Usually, it’s my credit card bill that pains me, especially here lately.  Hopefully, we can cut back on our speeding before too long. 

3. What is your favorite word? Okay okay, calm down. How about one of your favorite words? 

4. Is the glass half full or half empty? Elaborate. My glass is half full.  I just feel like I have so many projects going on with most of them partly completed and nothing done.  I really hate that feeling, too.

5. Were you here for that very first Hodgepodge post? If so, were your answers then similar to what they are today? Tell us what was happening in your life in November of 2010? No, I don’t think I was taking part in the Hodgepodge in 2010.  I did a quick search of published posts and it appears I didn’t come on board until late in the following year.  On November 10, 2010, I posted a teaser sharing the cover artwork of my children’s book.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  My last photo of the day on November 1st.

iPhone capture with car in motion traveling south on the Blue Ridge Parkway close to Asheville, NC. I barely noticed the painter beside the road because I had my sunglasses on while concentrating on the sunset. What a happy discovery!

In September I stumbled on The 126ers.  I enjoyed this song track and went in search of more of their music.  I’m going to close things with a 20-song playlist someone else put together by The 126ers.  This will give you 48-minutes of beautiful instrumental background music to enjoy.   Up next on CAAC, Friday Funnies.  Have a wild and wonderful day!
