Weekend Roundup -- 04-18(b) (for letter "D")

The 30th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
The week's prompts:
(1) Starts with "D"; (2) A Favorite; and (3) Double
 
 
 
(1)  Starts with "D":  "Dirt Paths" to follow with a four-wheel.  Aka "Driving through the Marshes in the Falkland Islands."

of our convoy who did not get bogged (stuck)

(2)  A Favorite:   Drawing by a third grade VBS guest.  Mrs. Jim and I have been helping our church, 2nd Baptist of Houston, 1463 Campus, with their Vacation Bible School.  The assignment was to draw what a child in a disadvantaged Houston neighborhood school would see from her window while dreaming that a truck or boat out there would stop with some school supplies for their school. 

I can't imagine what all came into mind with this assignment but things here seemed abstract to me though only the young artist and possibly the school child in mind could know.  A school that our church has adopted will be the recipient of the offerings money donated during the Bible School.  The boys and the girls are having a contest to see which group would raise the most money.  So far the boys are ahead but it is predicted for the girls to win.

(3)   Double:  I was thinking of "DoubleMint chewing gum."  I did find these old adds by googling "Doublemint chewing gum advertisement."  Doublemint was my favorite but now I don't chew gum as I am afraid of losing a tooth or a filling.

Great that you're the only one that didn't get stuck.

Love the DoubleMint twins. I remember those commercials.

Have a fabulous day and weekend, Jim and Mrs. Jim. ☺

The dirt path is a perfect D. Sounds like a great adventure. I love Doublemint chewing gum, but I discovered I was allergic when my nose itched every time I chewed it. Still like it, but not enough to have an itchy nose :)
