Weekend Roundup -- 11-18(b) (for letter "K") -- Reflections too
The 36th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
The week's prompts:
(1) Starts with "K"; (2) A Favorite; (3) King Size (4) Reflections (mirror, eating picture--last one)
(1) Starts with "K": Key starts with "K". This old key is probably older than I am. I pinched it from a nail in a deserted house that I used to play in, located on an adjacent farm. I don't think the house was locked nor did it have a "Keep Out" sign.
(1.b) Starts with "K": Key Lime also starts with "K". Our younger daughter brought this to me last weekend. It is from her favorite exotic shopping place for foods. Lemon and Key Lime are my favorite curds. I also like Key Lime pie.
Kurds are people who are members of an ethnic group whose native territory is in the Near East. Curds are yummy spreads, pudding like in nature. Remember Little Miss Muffet,
"Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet Eating her curds and whey."

(2) A Favorite: Key West starts with "K" as well. We flew directly from Houston to Key West, to start our Cross-Atlantic Cruise ending in London, U.K. Here are a few of my favorite Key West pictures, including the Earnest Hemmingway Florida Key West home: (for more about our visit you can please visit https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/search?q=key+west).
Chickens are birds, therefore protected species in Key West. Also protected are cats.

(3) King Size: At one time I smoked, from the last year of high school until I was about 42. From about 38 until I quit I had switched to a pipe. That got hurting my lips and throat so I knew I really had to quite. So for a year or so I chewed tobacco and dipped snuff. That took care of my nicotine but the spitting was really nasty, especially since I had an inside job. That's why I quit.
My first cigarettes that I bought were Pall Mall, they were mild and King Sized. And the elite smoked them according to the ads. When I was common people or low on money I smoked the King Size Chesterfields. They did fine for me.

OMG I forgot all about king size cigarettes, both my parents smoked, I never even tried it.
Curds, makes me think of squeaky cheese curds and I make a mean lemon curd.
It's been years since I was in Key West, would like to go back.

...now 'K'ey is one that I didn't think of!
...I ask you, who doesn't like 'K'ey Lime pie?
...I visited 'K'ey West years ago, it's a neat spot.
...I done some dumb things in my life, but smoking wasn't one of them.
...I just had fish and chips, we call them 'fish fries' here.
Thanks Jim for stopping by, enjoy your week.

So glad you could quit. Our son was able to quit, also. Key West looks like a great place. Hope you have a good weekend!
Now the Key lime looks very tasty and I love the reflection shot Jim Yes we were on the same page for the 'key'. Have a great weekend.
Congratulations on Kicking the cigarette habit. It isn't an easy thing. Went through that with hubs after his heart attack. Key West is on my bucket list. Hope to get there some day. Enjoyed your Ks.
I smoked too and quit long ago. I'm ever so happy I did. I smoked Marlboro's then Winston Lights. I had a rough time quitting, but I hung in there until I no longer wanted a cigarette. Took about 18 months.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ☺

Although I've never tasted curds, they look YUMMY. As for your plight to stop smoking...I'm glad you finally succeeded, especially seeing that shot of you, Mrs Jim and KP...:)JP

Nice reflection. It made me smile.
You said
"seems the walkway to be that reflective must be 'slippery when wet.' Or done post flash using digital editing."
Actually neither. The scene was reflected on a mirrored table so the walkway is only an illusion and can't actually be seen on the photo. The magic of reflection. :-)

Love the skeleton key - modern locks and keys might work better, but the old keys had more style! Key West looks cool and I have Key West for a 'K' in my post. Great on the non-smoking!
I'm glad you quit smoking, Jim! I also tried the nasty habit just out of high school, I smoked Tareytons and then switched to Newport menthols! I smoked for 4 years and quit when I became pregnant. I never went back to them! I also used "Keys" in my blog this week! I hope someday my husband and I can visit Key West, too. Have a good week!
