Weekend Roundup -- 07-18 (for letter "G")
This week's (February 16) prompts
Starts with "G"; A Favorite; and Green
Starts with "G": Giraffe starts with "G". Today I'm posting some pictures when we took our youngest granddaughter, KP, to the Houston (Texas) Zoo. We had purchased some giraffe food but she was not yet two at that time and didn't want to be in the giraffe's nose.
Favorite: After reviewing KP at museum. We once more fell in love with KP at that visit. Here she is sizing up a lamb at the petting yard. Today she won't pet a dog, let alone pull a sheep's ear.
Something Green: Had hoped to find some green at the zoo. But since I didn't how about this green grasshopper that I found in Tennessee.
Any idea of what this grasshopper eats?
A 1936 Chevy Coupe model
Google found it but they said
the source was unknown.
The car wasn't nearly as fast around the corners as our little Ford. This was because of the side location of the intake manifold, at the side of the engine, and the effect of gravity (a "G" word) pulling on the fuel. Electric fuel pumps did not remedy this, it was also the fuel mainly in the carburetor but clinging to the outside while the engine was inside (Ford carburetors were located on top, in the center of the engine).
So it always stayed in the "B" Feature final race and sometimes would win. But it never made, or could make the "A" Feature.
Day at the Zoo with an eighteen-month-old grandchild in a nutshell:.
We played with the goats in the petting zoo
We fed the giraffes then gazed at them for a bit
We rode the merry-go-round
We ate a nice lunch from Grandma's bag
We took pictures a zillion times
The elephants were to KP the most amazing. They were huge!

Mrs. Jim, KP, and I visited the Houston Zoo on November 1, 2011. KP, here peeking around and through the bridge, was one and a half at the time and really enjoyed seeing the animals and fishes.

...Jim, I have two granddaughters who were shy when they were young, man are those days over! Love the giraffe and that's some green grasshopper. Great job with 'G' my friend. Enjoy your week and please stop back again.
welll that wasa lovely day at the zoo for you Jim and a day to remember with lovely images. Love all those fish. Have a great weekend.
What lovely memories of KP when she was very small. So precious. Made me think of my grandchild. She's grown and working full time. She also had a beautiful baby girl that we got to do the same things all over again.
Have a fabulous weekend, Jim. ☺

Fun weekend round-up. Looks like a real fun day at the zoo with your granddaughter. I'm looking forward to some outings like these in the future with our granddaughter. Happy weekend to you!
It's always fun at the zoo, no matter what age. I never thought grasshoppers were so green, it must have been so easy to spot! Have a good week, Jim!

Great visit to the zoo, Jim! I loved visiting the zoo when I was KP's age, and I guess that never really stopped! Probably why I pretty much live in a zoo now! 1 goat, 2 sheep, 2 guinea pigs, 2 rats, 2 rabbits, 2 cats, 1 dog, and 22 chickens. Is that a zoo? The grasshopper is a fun one - I'd like it for my garden! I think it doesn't have much of an appetite.
