Weekend Letter "J";
The 10th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
the Letter "J". Prompts are:
(A) Starts with "J"; (B) A Favorite; (C) Jump; and (D) Reflection(s).
(A) Starts with "J": Today I've brought you a collection of my nine Jeeps I have handy in my files. I've posted them before on a Friday meme series so If you've seen them already that is the way it goes. [click on the pictures for larger sized viewing]
(B) A Favorite: I like Jeeps, this green Jeep we found in Key West is my favorite. But I've taken owning a Jeep off my bucket list. I did have possession of one for a week and a half in Maui. It was red. And my sons has an older Jeep.
My love affair with Jeeps when a neighbor when I was growing bought one of the first ones ones civilians could buy after WWII. It was a dark dull green color and looked like the military Jeeps. Willys and now Chrysler have made most of the Jeeps.
But during WWII Ford also made army Jeeps. I would have liked a Surplus one back when I belonged to the Early Ford Club, any Ford owner of Fords from 1932 through 1953. For you slightly GearHead folk, those 'could have had' a Flathead Ford V8 engine.
(C) Jump: I like to watch cats jump high, extremely high in proportion for their height. This is my BIL's cat. They also like to sit atop the refrigerator as they give off heat that comes up from behind. I know if he had a Jeep the cat would Jump on top.
(D) Reflection(s): Look into the windshield and your will see a reflection of a vehicle in the adjacent carnival ride. This was taken of our granddaughter, KP, at the Hyde Park at London, U.K.

Love the Jeeps, especially the older ones. A new JL Wrangler starts at over $32,000 - yikes! the Ford Jeep is great - drab olive green suits it perfectly - unlike today's chrome laden Jeeps, this is functional and honest...
...'J'eepers you sure have a collection of 'J'eeps, they are everywhere on Maui. I love the flame job on the carnival ride 'J'eep. Thanks 'J'im for checking in, enjoy your week.
You have some wonderful Jeep pics. I would like to have one to drive here. Not a new one, a beater. It would be great for taking pics on the back roads. My daughter had a cat that would jump on top of a bookcase that looks about the same height as in your kitty pic. It looked like she jumped up to the right height, stopped in mid air, and then step over onto the bookcase. Cats are cool. :)
I've never had a jeep. Hubby said he rode in one many moons ago and didn't like it. Rough ride was how he put it. I like the look of jeeps.
I love kitties and pups. Sometimes they don't like each other though.
Have a fabulous weekend, Jim. ☺

JIM's Jeeps! That's quite a collection! I've never owned one, but I have a lot of friends that do. They are a popular car in New England. Have a great week, Jim!

Great post! Coincidentally, I was behind a Jeep almost the whole way back from church this morning. I thought to myself that I hardly ever see them any more.
