It was the best O L Y M P I C openning ceremony that I have watched (TV-wise). Everything was so pretty. Even the U.S.A. Ralph Lauren designed uniforms and berrets (link) looked good on the atheletes. You can buy a beret for $55.00.

A Jam — My Alphabe-Thursday -- "J" -- Two Questions -- Things in a Row
.
"J" is for Jam -- like, "hey, I got myself in a little bit of a Jam." (start of a phone conversation)
.
"You see I dropped my iPhone in the changing booth at WalMart and now the cops have got me for, well I don't really know what for."
.
"Well, did you get arrested?"
"Not exactly but they think that I put a ... ," muffled, "sob, sniff, sob, sniffle ... "
.
"They think I put a camera on the floor to watch the girls change clothes (more sniffles)."
.
"What is going on there now? When are you coming home?"
.
"They are holding me in the back of a police car."
.
"Are you coming home?"
.
"They are checking the phone to see if there are any pictures that I took tonight."
.
"Can you come home?"
.
"It sounds like it, like they are going to take me home. But they want then to talk with you, Mom."
.
"Oh."
.
"Oh."
.
Real life in the day of a Houston Police team. I first heard it on the TV news and then found it in the Houston Chronicle .

"Jam" is also used to spread on bread, pancakes, and biscuits.

"Jam" is also used to spread on bread, pancakes, and biscuits.
Here at our house I found these in the refrigerator and have them lined up into two little rows. The rows are for my Thursday Things in a Row part of this post.
.
.
In the packets we see the real "Jam" in case you haven't seen any lately. The first is from a breakfast at our new Burger King and is called "Strawberry Jam" and I put it on my biscuit half that I didn't eat with the sausage.
.
.
Also in that row is a packet from MacDonald's but it is called "Strawberry Preserves." I used it for the same way as the Burger King jam. (Prior post link, scroll down to the MacDonald's sack picture)
.
.
The next row has a jar of "Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves" (link). These have become my favorite Strawberry Preserves and are made in the U.S. I was first introduced to them in a small hotel in Paris where they were served for breakfast in a small individual portion-sized jars which were made in France.
.
.
Next in line is a jar of "Polaner All Fruit with Fiber Raspberry seedless" which you might recall is NOT Jelly in the 'pass the jelly' commercial (link).
.
.
Lastly is a jar of Fig Preserves that Mrs. Jim made. We eat this mostly with our morning biscuits which Mrs. Jim also makes, from scratch.

1. What is you favorite "Jam" used to spread onto bread, etc?

KP and Peppa Pig — MidWeek Blues — Ruby Tuesday 2
.
1. Do you know the color of Peppa Pig's dress?
2. Who is Peppa?
3. Who is George and what color are his pants?
.........[see the answers below]
ANSWERS:
1. Pepe's dress is RED, of course, for Ruby Two Tuesday.
2. Peppa is a pig. Her full name is Peppa Pig and she and her little brother, George, are TV cartoon characters targeted towards the younger, pre-school, children. Our granddaughter had her three-year-old Peppa Pig birthday party this Sunday.
[Pictured at left is a section of one of the Peppa Pig table clothes and on the right our KP with the cake that grandmother 'Mema,' Billy's mom, had brought. KP is getting big now at age three.]
3. George is Peppa's little brother. He wears BLUE.
KP, our granddaughter lives with her family in London. That means Pappa is on U.K. television (link) and may be hard to find here. However there are a lot of her episodes for down loading. Also portions are available on YouTube. Just Google her.

Frosty was gloomy lately.
His song no longer on the charts, new lighting was gaudy; now at this summer juncture forced into purple fatigues.
