Letter "W" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 08 / Reflections and-or Street Captures
Tom's Requests for this Week's Prompts:
Starts with "W": "War" starts with "W". Here it will be for WWII time, we always fly our U.S. flag on D Day, June 6, 1944, a U.S. holiday commemorating our most costly in lives Normandy Invasion to repel the Nazi Germany's takeover of the countries of that part of the world, Africa and up.
Starts with "W"; A Favorite; and Tom's suggestion, "Wet"

We have visited the Normandy Beach, France, once and driven through several other times, once past on a cruise ship, that part of France but not Normandy. We were always welcomed with a friendly "Thank You" by the French people there.
The picture above is the front of our home, the flag is flying under the eve, at the edge of our small front porch. The flowering trees are Crepe Myrtles, one on each side of the house. We also have two Oak trees in the front and two small evergreens on each side of the sidewalk near the one small step up. On the left side, not showing, is the garage and driveway. To the left is a Miniature Magnolia which produces a few white blossoms from spring and through the fall. In the fairly near future we plan to downsize for the rest of our senior years.
My print of "Revelation 21:4"
A Favorite: A print of Larry Dyke's painting. (Wikipedia) He was painting Texas scenes at the time we bought this one, later he went to golf course impressions, and then I lost track of him.
Each of them has a related Bible reference, this one is Revelation 21:6 - "6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." (Revelation 21:6)
Larry and I were church friends, we participated in several of the same church activities. Larry gave the original of this painting to President Nixen on the National Day of Prayer, 19
National Day of Prayer in U.S. History (Wikipedia)
Tom's suggestion, "Wet":
Adi, our Beagle dog, had to be squeaky clean. She tolerated her bath but got really frisky after. Adi died in September, 2012.
Reflections and Street Captures: What's in the mirror behind Snoopy?
His street to ride is in our game room. Seems the Media end of the room has become a 'Junk Room'. The other end has a make-a-bed couch, two recliners, and a table and chairs that Grandpa H brought to my parents after their honeymoon. December 1932, almost 90 years ago.
Lagniappe: The Countries I've visited that start with the Letter "W" was Wales . We visited in May 2014 -- A short account, click here . In a nutshell,
[A nice Old hotel in Wales]
"We
visited northern Wales this May for a few days, train from London to Shrewsbury, U.K, rented a car, stayed at B&B's in and around Barmouth, Wales, U.K, and visited with friends traveling to Northampton by train after turning car back at Shrewsbury."
