Letter "T" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 08 / Reflections and-or Street Captures
This Week's Prompts: Starts with "T"; A Favorite; Tom's word; "Tall"; and Reflections and/or Street Captures.
_ _ _
Starts with "T": "Therapy" starts with the Letter "T". Mrs. Jim's breathing Therapist said that for older folk "Climbing our Stairs" once every two hours would be a good maintenance habit for both our legs and our lungs. It would also remind us to breathe properly. I.e. use our diaphragm for deep breathing.
Our Beagle dog, Adi, was a Therapy Dog. We were a registered Pet Therapy Team. Adi loved visiting in the local assisted home, the Alzheimer's residents there loved her visits.
Adi died in September 2012.
A Favorite: "Tea". Before they invented "Diet Coke" Tea was my go to drink other than water.
Tom's word, "Tall": Things are Taller in Texas, even our statues. These are my Nebraska cousins when the marveled while visiting in 2006. Some of you may have seen their photo before, I use it on my blog. The statue is of Sam Houston, our first Texas President. It is 67 feet Tall sitting on a ten-foot-high base.
Reflections and/or Street Captures. The Trees I was seeing while eating my lunch one day in April. That is a Louisiana Swamp Cypress in the foreground and on the right you can see the Cypress Tree Knots sticking up through the water.
This is the view from a bench at the south side of our library, one of the Fort Bend County (Texas) Library System buildings at Katy, Texas.
Lagniappe # 1: Tomatoes start with "T". Aren't these pretty. They are $1.47 per pound at our local Kroger grocery store.
Can you find a problem showing in this picture?
Answer? highlight the empty area below.
The word, Tomatoes, is misspelled.
They left the Letter "O" out.
Lagniappe # 2: The Countries I've visited that start with the Letter "T". (I've been to at least 76 countries):
Where First Times
Turkey 1980 (for a visit to the Biblical city Ephesus ruins; since we also visited Istanbul in 2013.

I haven't been to Houston in several years, but I sure did recognize old Sam standing there. Those tomatoes (not tomates) sure look tasty! Hope you and yours are well.
Those tomatoes look very juicey Jim and that statue is certainly VERY tall, it dwarf's you both! Have a great week.
That is one TALL statue! Your staircase, and all your photos, are very nice. My favorite, is the pond and reflection! Have a good weekend, Jim!
Looks like Sam is taller than Big Tex. I've never been to Houston but I lived in the DFW area for a few years.
