(THE TWENT-SIXTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES)
- the Letter "Z" Prompts are:

(D) Reflections.

(A) Contains the Letter "Z": Zebra has the letter "Z" as the first letter. We saw these in South Africa at a game preserve southeast of Cape Town.
(B) "My Choice": My youngest great-granddaughter and me on Father's Day 2020.
One daughter and two sons, a daughter-in-law, two granddaughters and hubbies, three greatgrandchildren, and two great-greatgrandchildren were there. Plus Mrs. Jim and other friends. I believe that count is correct.
The Two cards and Five cans of Wasp Spray. The spray was an inside joke of which I had forgotten the set up
A couple of weeks ago we were sitting around the poolside (pictured last week) table when our granddaughter noticed a wasp flying around and attempting to get inside the back wall of our house. Mrs. Jim went quickly inside and came running out with my precious flying insect spray can. She did not kill the wasp but rather sprayed the wall crack and surrounding wall and a broken piece of furniture.
I would have used a can of regular insect spray as the flying insect spray can had only about a third left.
(D) Reflections: Taken from The Backwaters off the coast of Southeast India, near Co Chin.

My Two Questions (you can answer just one if you wish):
(1) If you are a parent or grandparent how were you recognized for Mother's Day or Father's Day this year? My post with JE photo here pretty well explains mine for this year. Not all the kids and grandkids could come to this celebration, our younger daughter and youngest granddaughter brought my bug spray present the day before. They spent Father's Day with their other grandfather in East Texas this year. All five of the kids got in touch by phone also.
(2) Where and when was your last boat ride? We were on a cruise from Dubai to Cape Town, South Africa, visiting India and several islands in the Indian Ocean along he way, as well as other various countries. We left Dubai on December 5, 2019 and arrived in Cape Town on January 4, 2020.
Bonus Questions:
(1) What is your favorite "Z" Word? That would be Zip, like "Zip it Up" and there is now reason for that liking.
(2) What if any sort of silly present did you give some one, perhaps a 'gag gift'? I am sure it was a White Elephant gift where I regift presents that I cannot use. I justr don't have one in mind for here.

1. If you are a parent or grandparent how were you recognized for Mother's Day or Father's Day this year? The only thing that happens for us is our oldest granddaughter always remembers to wish us a happy mothers/fathers day. That's the extent of it.
2. Where and when was your last boat ride? Last weekend hubby and I cruised over to another marina and spent the weekend with a couple of friends. We had a great time. It was good to get back out on the water.
Bonus Questions:
1. What is your favorite "Z" Word? Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. Now that song is stuck in my head.
2. What if any sort of silly present did you give some one, perhaps a 'gag gift'? When my buddies turned 60 I did a bunch of old folks gifts. It was most fun.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Jim. 😎

Love those "inside" family stories which will live on and on! In addition to a nice face-time meet-up with grandchildren, I was gifted with a laser rangefinder. Not too practical but I had fun trying to guess the distance of various structures including the local eagle nest (55 yards). Now what can I do with all this new-found knowledge?
Your granddaughter is gorgeous and I know you love her and vice versa.
Did you know that those stripes - and I am sure you do - are brown and white?
Their tongue is dark like purple to prevent tongue cancer as they have it out so much and closer to the sun.
That is what I heard when I went on a safari ride anyway.
Take care in Texas!

Love the images of you and your youngest granddaughter and also your reflection shot. ZEST for life is a good word for me.Mother's Day is at 2 different times as my 2 daughters live in 2 different continents so I am blessed twice. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
...I like your ZEBRAS , they look more authentic, mine was in a ZOO. Do your grandchildren have initial names? Be careful my friend, don't get stung!
