"J" is for
.
This was at Hyde Park, London, U.K. It was at a little two ride amusement machine set up right outside the playground and snack area.
Her ride cost 1.50£ and was fairly busy. The other ride at 2.00£ was a carousel but she didn't ride it.
We had spent the afternoon at the National Science Museum (free admission--link) and walked through the park on the way home.
KP loves rocket, space ships, and astronauts. She told me that she wants to be an astronaut when she grows up. That would suit me fine, an ex NASA aerospace engineer. (I worked in Flight Control at the Johnson Manned Space Center at Houston before I resigned after SkyLab and began teaching business courses at our local community college, San Jacinto College.)

An aside, I wanted to post all of the pictures that I have taken of my Hot Dogs for my "J" entry. But that wouldn't work. This is National Hot Dog Month so have one for me. I did have one July 2 for early celebrating of Independence Day.

"I" is for
.
"I" is for frozen Ice Cream treats -- I like all of these. Generally I buy what is on sale, eat most all I can, and give a couple to some others.
"I" is for Ice Cream Store also -- This is where KP got her Milk Chocolate. The store sell mostly Gelato which is softer and often creamier than ice cream. (Gelato link)
Ice Cream and some others

"I" is for Ice, shaved ice -- I don't know if this works now or not. It can be trailered. I am sure it has been restored. Now it sits at the entrance to my friends old car museum.
"I" is for Little Girls Like Ice Cream -- This is KP. Our granddaughter is getting to be a big girl now that she is four. Her birthday was the 16th of July. Milk chocolate is her favorite color, sometimes she has it in a dish and other times she eats it in a cone.
"I" is for Isetta (Got to have a car in my post) -- This, below, is a 1958 Isetta A-300. It belongs to my friend who keeps it in his garage museum. Read the sign to learn about it. (More here: History; Google search link for pictures, articles, and Isettas for sale)
I was in the service in 1957 when the German made models were introduced to the U.S.A. Being stationed in El Paso, and Army town, I saw quite a few of them being used as a cheap second car. I had a Sears Vespa Motorscooter for a second car as they sold for less than $300.

"H" is for
.
[click on pictures for larger size - click again for larger still view - Back button gets return]
Mrs. Jim is an excellent cook. Here is her table setting ready for the gourmet group's meal.
Before we ate she had appetizers, or hors d'veores. The deviled eggs are always my favorite.
See Wikipedia for a rundown of horsd'veores (link). I learned that there may not even be a meal afterwards.
