Weekend Roundup with "L"; Little, Long, and Last

 
The 12th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
 - the Letter "L" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with "L"; (B) A Favorite; (C) Long; and (D) Reflection(s).

 

(A) Starts with "L": Little Boys starts with "L".  What does this picture remind you of?  Need a hint?  Think STATUE.  Read about it here or view a ScreenPrint copy (that I made from the previous link) here.


(B) A Favorite, (also Long) today:   This is KP, our youngest (of four) granddaughters.  She has just finished making a batch of SLIME at our house and was checking it out.  I was FINE, really stretching LONG.


(C) Long: This is the U.S. Highway 90 Long Bridge over the Achaffalia (flood) Resevoir coming from Baton Rouge.  Last week I posted from a McDonald's there.  The bridge is miles and miles long, there is a modern bridge south a few miles on Interstate 10. 

A Link to Louisiana's Long Bridges, click here.  Note, I traveled this bridge when I came to Texas to stay (from prior living in New Hampshire, via El Paso and Nebraska first).

 
This is my second Louisiana picture today, it is what we see after leaving the U.S. Hwy 90 Long Bridge, a Long stretch of Oak Trees.
 

(D) Reflection(s): I took this nice Reflection picture Last Saturday morning. I had just purchased a dozen donut holes for KP (youngest grandchild) and was parked in front of the Kolache place. I know, last week's Friday word needed to start with the Kolache "K".

(E) Last:  Just for viewing, this picture was taken of Calcasieu Lake south of Lake Charles, Louisiana.   We took a little side trip (link, we followed State Highway 27) going around Lake Charles, along the Louisiana Gulf of Mexico shores, up through Cameron and back to the I-10 Highway.

The lake was full, on level with our road after a big rain bringing some flooding. [click on picture for larger viewing]


We did stop at Cameron for a very nice Shrimp Poboy sandwich.  It was about the best I've had, ever.  It had over a dozen nice sized shrimp.  I've eaten half of it.


We bought it here.  Seating was ground level in the Little building, pictured in the forefront but we ate in our car.  We ordered and they cooked in an elevated room in the darkened area behind.  The steps you see at the left lead to this comes-in-handy restroom.  Grading the restroom, I would be generous and give it a seven out of ten.

Kids love slime. My granddaughter sure does.

I've never had a shrimp poboy sandwich before. Looks tasty.

Thanks for playing along in the Friendly Fill-ins.

Have a fabulous day, Jim. My best to Mrs. Jim. 😎
 
...yep 'L'ittle boys grow up to be BIG boys!
...my granddaughters are into slime too.
...that 'L'ouisiana 'L'ong Bridge and 'L'ong stretch is as straight as an arrow.
...nice 'L'and of 'L'akes.
...that 'L'ittle building sure puts out a mean 'L'ooking sandwich.
Thanks for this 'L'oad of 'L's.
 
That shrimp poor boy makes me want to head to Louisiana. Looks like your granddaughter is enjoying the slime. She's a cutie~
 
I've never had a Po'Boy - this shrimp sandwich looks great! I was only in Louisiana once, and only around NOLA so haven't seen much of it. The Louisiana license plates say "Sportsmen Paradise", and with all their water, it must be true!
 
thsoe certainly are LONG roads Jim and I love the LITTLE boys LOO. Great reflection. I hope you have a good week ahead
 
My two granddaughters also enjoy making slime! They are 9 and 12. When I was a kid, my Mom used to make us play dough from a recipe she had. I wonder if they still sell play dough? I always liked the smell of it, LOL LOL!! Have a good week, Jim!
