Weekend Roundup -- 06-18 (for letter "F")
Weekend Roundup items for the week:Starts with "F"; A Favorite; and Flower
(1) Starts with "F": Fruit starts with "F". So does "Foot Loops", we'll start with that. My lead picture (above) is of KP holding a box of Froot Loops, she was standing in front of the Acropolis at Athens, Greece. 
KP was only four in that picture, now she is eight.
And now Froot Loops also come in round boxes, pour milk and eat. She had one for breakfast this morning.
Below is a full picture, our daughter took both of these.
She and Karen accompanied Mrs. Jim and I on a cruise from Venice, Italy to Istanbul and on into the Black Sea where we made three stops. Most every day we stopped. The cruise ended in Athens where we made our last excursion, that one ended at the airport.

I have over 30 cast iron 1:16 model cars, many of which I have owned a real car similar, most are Fords. I like Ford cars. Also I was a Ford Aerospace Engineer for 17 years, working first at El Paso, Texas, then New Hampshire for three years, and for the last 14 years of my tenure at the NASA Manned Space Center, Houston, Texas.
