~~ Friday’s Hunt v.2.19 -- "S" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of November 4th is: (1) Starts with S; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Amazing
2. Week's Favorite: Cousins, Mary and Mrs. Jim
Picture was taken at Mary's church after the service. They were having a fund raiser for the "Clothes Closet" for the needy.
Our menu was Chili Dogs, a salad, and chips. Oh yes, a piece of cake and a cookie as a part of the Baby Shower in the room next. Mrs. Jim bought our and five for others not so lucky as we.
1. Starts with "S": Steamboat Bill's ~~ Last week I was late for sign-in as we were in Louisiana visiting our cousin, Mary. Mary is 93 years old but still gets around fine, and drives.
Mary had gotten us tickets for the Sandy Patty Concert being presented in her church.
Going over Friday afternoon, we decided to stop at Steamboat Bill's, a Cajun Seafood restaurant in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on I-10. (The little guy in the little tub was stationed at the men's restroom entrance.)
We shared a fish poboy and each had a pistolette (Google search link). Mine was crawfish and Mrs. Jim's was shrimp. These have been cooked in an étouffée (Google search link) mixture and poured into a special pastry made just for pistolettes.
3a. Amazing: I thought that the makeup resemblance of these two was amazing: (KP's and that of the cover picture Amazon young lady's).
KP likes to go to Children's Night at our local McDonalds. This is a weekly feature, one of the things she really likes is getting her face painted. Here she is an Indian Princess. We all like Thursday nights, Happy Meals for KP are $1.99 then.
3b. Amazing: I find it amazing that one of these creatures in my picture above would stay put for the most of the day: Guess which one?
(Click on the picture for a larger sized view. Click again, it might get larger still.) (Highlight the blank area below to find the correct answer)
Answer: Not the man walking. It is the white bird, an egret I think, at the edge of the pond. It will stay all day looking for a fish. Most of the time a fish won't show up but I often see it grabbing something passing by. The little lake/pond empties as it is a part of our drainage system for flood control.

This was also my Birthday Dinner, 30 October. I like hot dogs (link).

Pictured on the left is half a fish poboy with one bite missing, and our pistolettes.
The interior of Steamboat Bill's was very informal.

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.2.18 -- "R" is for ...
Today was my birthday and so I missed Teresa's sign-in cutoff. We got in tonight about a couple of hours ago from Baton Rouge, no Internet at cousins where we were visiting, and I am just now writing my "R" post.
Since I had started on this last Thursday (we left on Friday and were still on the road back Sunday evening) I will go ahead and post. Just can't sign in for Teresa.
I will post a few birthday pictures next week. Saturday night we attended Sandy Patty's final U.S. tour at Baton Rouge. It was good, uplifting, and LOUD!
Friday's Hunt for the week of October 28th: (1) Starts with "R"; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Black and/or Orange.
(1) Starts with "R": "Red" starts with "R".
(2) Week's Favorite (not): Thursday before we left for Baton Rouge I went for a scheduled CT Scan with and without dye. I was to come to Houston Memorial Hospital, Katy Hospital, an hour before my appointment.
This turned out to fill out papers and to drink this solution a half hour before my appointment. It looked like water but had electrolytes and other stuff.
I was asked whether I wanted 'peach tea' or 'lemonade'. I opted for lemonade. That made drinking it easier.
The marking on the bottom? I was to save that part until I had an IV Port placed in my arm.
I should get results tomorrow from the hospital (only 20 minutes away). Then I will call my GP doctor and after that another specialist who is looking for me to come in for a visit and a procedure.
(3) Black and/or Orange: This was a yard decoration on KP's street. We see lots of Orange and matching colors when we walk her to or from school. Come November 1st, they will all be gone.
The Fine Print: (the signing in part is what I missed. You can click on the list to visit those who did get finished before the teacher's deadline (late papers not accepted).

First is KP's Banjo. This was a school project for her to make after the class had studied musical instruments and HOW the sound is made. KP opted for a stringed instrument, the Banjo.
One part was to make it, better if it made sound. She was also supposed to tell directions for making an instrument like she had made. Hers is made from a Graham Cracker Box, a dah tah dah tube and four rubber bands. Her artistic talent went into the decorations. (Directions Galore are to be found on-line.)
Her grade showed the work and preparation was paying off.
A very nice grade!! A+++

The second is a couple of Christmas Tree Decorations we found at the World Market store near us. Red Cardinals and a Toy Red Vacation Camper.
