Letter "F" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 11 and Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures
- Tom's this Week's Prompts: Starts with "F." A Favorite. "F"resh.
Starts with "F": Ford starts with "F", this is the last Ford that I have bought. I still have it, a 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. It was my retirement present to myself, in 2001. Also it has reached 25 years of age this year so in Texas it is now classified as a Classic.

Newest Cat in the Family: Dutch is the newest feline in the neighborhood, adopted as a rescue, by our older daughter. He knows his owner is headed out for a work assignment and is hoping she will not notice him here, hoping to catch a ride and go with his owner.
Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures: Three guys in a boat out in the Florida Everglades. Fishing? Alligator hunting?
A Lagniappe: Finish is a good "F" word. Mrs. Jim Finished her physical therapy sessions, now she'll add to these on strengthening her back.
- James' request, "Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures."

Starts with "F": Ford starts with "F", this is the last Ford that I have bought. I still have it, a 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. It was my retirement present to myself, in 2001. Also it has reached 25 years of age this year so in Texas it is now classified as a Classic.
I have owned 15 Ford branded cars plus my 1950 Mercury, which was a Ford product. Here is a list of the cars which I have owned, click here to read of the 35 cars that I have owned (a 1940 Chevy Tudor is missing--it had been wrecked, I paid $50 for it and was in the process of fixing it back up when I got drafted. I gave it to my landlord's son to finish the job.)
I worked for Ford Aerospace in New Hampshire and at NASA Houston for 19 years (first three in the Elgin Watch Factory, five in the U.S. Army) before I quit and switched careers to something less stressful--teaching at San Jacinto College in Pasadena, Texas.
The Cat In The Window
. [click on picture for full screen photo]A Favorite: Feline is a fancy word for Cat. Amber stayed with us at our house for her last four years of life while our daughter was working in London. This is my favorite Feline picture. I posted it as my favorite before on January 6 of this year. Amber is in all these blogs, the "most posted feline", click here.
["Dutch", New cat in the family]
Newest Cat in the Family: Dutch is the newest feline in the neighborhood, adopted as a rescue, by our older daughter. He knows his owner is headed out for a work assignment and is hoping she will not notice him here, hoping to catch a ride and go with his owner. Right, my "Next to Favorite Feline '"Cat in the Window'" post.
Below is the second feral feline post, the first was on here or another blog, I couldn't find her when I looked.
Tom's choice, "Fresh": Fresh bananas are nice on cereal. These are not fresh, the skins are not yellow but rather a very dark brown. And inside the fruit is off color and mushy. When my wife and I were married I was almost horrified at first when she would have cereal for supper. But she has won me over there, I like it for a light and healthy supper meal. In the picture there are two other cereals, raisin bran and granola which are covered by what you see.
