The Letter "Y" -- Weekend Roundup and Reflections
The twenty-fifth issue of Weekend Roundup for this year, 2020...
(THE TWENT-FIFTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES)
- the Letter "Y" Prompts are:
(A) Contains the Letter "Y";
(B) "Yellow";
(C) A Favorite; and
(D) Reflections.
_ _ _ _
(A) Contains the Letter "Y": "Yard" even starts with "Y". Here are a couple of photos of our Backyard, it was landscaped when we bought it and this is our version five years later.
(B) "Yellow": Egg Yolks are Yellow. These aren't the eggs with the Yolks broken and then fried until both the Yellows and the Whites are cooked hard.
By mistake and for using my smart phone instead of my broken computer, I had thought the Yellow items were eggs. Sandie got it right, they are corn chips with melted Yellow cheese and Salsa that I made for a snack. Sorry.
How do I eat these hard fried eggs? Either with pancakes and syrup having fried sausage and catsup; or an egg, ham, and Yellow Cheese sandwich with toasted wheat sandwich and ketchup.
Today it was the sandwich but I don't have a picture of that. And Mrs. Jim fried these. I make them in the Microwave, I stir them just enough to be pretty and swirly when they are finished
(C) A Favorite: One of my favorite walking places, a good posting for the Yellow flowers. The fingers are mine.
Generally I don't pose for full body photos because I've pretty well lost my youthful figure (See it here).
Click on any picture to make it bigger or smaller.
(D) Reflections: This isn't the end of my walk, I am across the street and over as little from my home.
(F) A Lagniappe: We have to cross this street before we can turn left a block to get my home street. Had there been a rainbow, we would live at the left end of it.
_ _ _ _
My Two Questions (you can answer just one if you wish):
(1) What is your favorite "Yellow" thing? I Mine will be a yellow car or pickup truck. I've never owned a yellow car but my oldest granddaughter had a yellow Mustang for college and on until quite a while after she married.
Bananas are next.
(2) When was the last time that you saw a very pretty sunset? We have them quite often but there are houses across the street west from us. Even from an upstairs window we cannot enjoy the full sunset picture.
Bonus Questions:
(1) What is your favorite "Y" Word? That would be Ysleta, El Paso, Texas (Wikipedia article)(google pictures). For three while I was in the U.S. ARMY military service, we lived near where Ysleta started, east out of El Paso about on I-10. I would ride my Vespa Motorscooter up and down the levee and in the nice grassy area between our home and the levee and border with Mexico.
(2) When did you last have a nice sunset to watch and where were you (like snowflakes, no two people see the same sunset). It was the one I posted above.

Beautiful yellow flowers! And, a gorgeous sunset! Yellow roses are a favorite of mine, too. I guess you could also say that I like yellow cars, my first car was a 1970 yellow Plymouth Barracuda, and over the years, we've also owned a 1971 yellow Monte Carlo and a 70 or 71 yellow VW Karmann Ghia convertible. I wish we still had all these cars! I like both pictures of you, Jim!! Have a great weekend.

Your yard looks fabulous with that curved pool and you handsome in front of the yellow blooming shrub. Lovely sunset as well.
(1) What is your favorite "Yellow" thing? Yellow is a happy color. I love all yellow flowers. I have a yellow shirt that I love. Yes and bananas.
(2) When was the last time that you saw a very pretty sunset? Last night on the back of our boat. Tried to get a picture of it, but it didn't turn out very well.
Bonus Questions:
(1) What is your favorite "Y" Word? Yummy since I'm hungry right now. I want something yummy to eat.
(2) When did you last have a nice sunset to watch and where were you (like snowflakes, no two people see the same sunset). They are never alike. Some have more vivid colors than others. They are all special.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Jim. 😎

Your yard is gorgeous and you have a pool - do you swim every day - do you have to keep that up?
I am not sure about eating eggs that hard - they looked like a chip with cheese on it.
Love yellow cheese and yellow flowers.
My mom always teased about wanting a yellow jag.
Andy's favorite color is yellow.
I love aqua.

Lovely pictures Jim! It's too bad about your Paris trip. We were lucky because we went in Mid-February and got home days before things got really bad.
Thanks for showing us your lovely garden adn pool and walking us round your neighbourhood. Yes Yummy are good woods and yellow roses I like. Love your reflections Jim. It is a good while since I saw a complete sunset due to lockdown but every sunset i have seen is special and different. Stay safe and have a great week ahead.
