Letter "G" -- Weekend Roundup and Street/Reflections

THE SEVENTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES - The Letter "G" Prompts are: (A) Starts with the Letter "G"; (B) "Great" (Tom's Choice); (C) A Favorite; (D) Street/Reflections; and (E) A Lagniappe.

 - - - - 


(A) Starts with the Letter "G":  Good.  This is the "ALL THINGS GOOD"** Store in Stellenbosch, South Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbosch.  We did not stop there but we can imagine what they sold there.**

(B) "Great" (Tom's Choice):   Our U.S.A. Olympic Team was GREAT at the 2020-22 Japan Olympics this year.



(C) A Favorite:    Giraffe also starts with "G".  Today I'm  posting again some pictures taken when we took our youngest granddaughter, KP,  to the Houston (Texas) Zoo.  We had purchased some giraffe food but she was not yet two at that time and didn't want to be in the giraffe's nose.

(D) Street/Reflections:   Our backyard neighbors had a birthday party going last weekend.  

The balloons are behind the overgrown bush and we get a better view from the Reflection in their back Texas picture window.




(E) A Lagniappe:  After my haircut Monday we stopped in at our World Market and this wall plate display caught my attention.  An old pickup is hauling their Texas sized Halloween pumpkin home, the whole family is Grateful for that. 

** Note:  I am thinking that is is a Christian book store, liberally quoting Romans Chapter 8, Verse 12 of the Bible.  Google has this to say for my search:  https://www.google.com/search?q=%22all+things+good%22+Bible&oq=%22all+things+good%22+Bible&aqs=edge..69i57j0i512j0i22i30l5.26843j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Nice reflection! It's a rare treat to see giraffes. In my photo I don't think they are holding anything. The woman on the right might be holding a french fry but the man is resting his head on his hand.

Sorry. My computer was hijacked for ransom almost three years ago and I just use my Galaxy S8 smartphone now. I'll borrow Mrs. Jim's computer and look better at the white object by his head.
BTW, I didn't pay the ransom and it crashed three days later.

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.”

James 4:6ost today Jim I love Giraffes also and that truck on the sign is GREAT.I am so thankful for my food and the farmers who produce it. GORGEOUS reflection of the giant ball of balloons in the window. Thanks for your prayers for my arm/shoulder and this week the physio is very pleased how it has improved over the previous 3 weeks. Now it just need strengthened - more exercises. I am up to 15 daily now!! Tomorrow and Thursday I am having my Myocardial Perfusion Imaging tests on my heart so here's hoping they produce a good result and needing no treatment. Have a GLORIOUS WEEK AHEAD

Jim, we also thought that the USA had great athletes this year. I love watching the Olympics, summer and winter. I think my favorite this year, was swimming events and track. I hope you have a good week.
