Who? -- a Blue Monday post
Dresser Top Stuff
Who gets top billing
Who gets the fastest racer
Who gets a comic all his own
Who's the favorite of all my toys
Who has the comic I'm sure to read
Who has a brother in the Arizona desert
Dare I tell the answer to these questions
Will it make the
others jealous
Which comic makes me happiest
Who is the little dog
Sleeps on top
Top of his
House
It's Snoopy the comic's hound
[the following is from last weeks's post--I linked it wrong the other day]
Something Sweet
Blue wrap--something sweet
Help yourself they're really good
More where these came from
All my sweets have blue wrappers
Gum drops Chocolates Peppermints

The Letter "C" ~~ Weekend Roundup and Reflections
My Car List, of all or most all of the cars I have owned
is LAST on this post. Please scroll down to it.
- the Letter "C" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with the Letter "C"; (B) A Favorite; (C) "C" for Calm (Tom's choice); and (D) Reflection(s).
(A) Starts with the Letter "C": Cantaloupes starts with the Letter "C". Our third picture of KP doing the Letter "C" in the song, "YMCA", Body Format. We were in Sprouts of Katy, Texas (our Houston Suburb). KP is our youngest granddaughter.
She had her 10th Birthday Wednesday, tonight she is finishing up her celebration with a sleep-in party with a few other of her friend girls.
This newspaper article called their 1936 a Cabriolet, actually it was a Coupe Convertible. I have about 35 of these Cast Iron Toy Cars and Tractors. Most all are 1:16 scale. The doors open, hoods and deck lids open, and the steering wheel steers the front tires.
_ _ _ _
(B) A Favorite: We were having a Corn Dog Friday Lunch. Guess which of us, Mrs. Jim, KP, or Me, had two Corn Dogs? Who had two cups of milk. Did any of us adults have two cups of Diet Coke?Answers: (highlight the space below to read the answers)

This is the half of my footlong braut with sauerkraut and mustard that I did not eat.
I got this dog from the German Deli place at Borough Market (London, U.K.)(Link)
To read about another hot dog I got over there, click here.
The Braut was over 12 inches long, an inch stuck out each side of the baguette.

Thursday Memes -- Things in a row -- Two Questions
.
I had a dental appointment last Thursday (Did I get all your comments answered? I am sorry if I didn't. You will have priority this time!). My appointment was in Huntsville, Texas, about 35 miles to the north of us.Mrs. Jim agreed to come with me and we would have lunch after my appointment and then we would mess around for a bit after that. For lunch, off the lunch menu, Mrs. Jim ordered a shrimp poboy and I ordered a crawfish poboy. Then we shared. Both came with lots of fries and I had a very nice dinner salad. It was all very delicious. No pictures but here is their link. Bob Luby's Seafood Grill
After lunch we went to some antique shops on Main Street. I always like the toy sections of those stores. They are always arranged so nicely, generally in rows like these. On the way back I took the court house picture for its rows and then the historic marker for its rows of printing. Click on it to make it big enough to read.
We spent a couple of hours in the stores and driving around a little. Then on the way home I went into the grocery store to pick up the special on Blue Bell ice cream. (visit to Blue Bell link)
For more things in a row please visit Pat's Things in a Row post. You might like to post your own 'Things in a Row.'

And now for my Thursday Two Questions: (See Thursday Two Questions by Poetic Shutterbug for more reading. You could also make your own by checking in at this link.)
.
Last week we answered questions about our organized eating affairs and favorite foods. Many of you said organized eating wasn't something you would be able to do at this time. I would recommend that you try some of this when you have more time. Mrs. Jim and I have the luxury of being retired and living in a community with others who have a lot of time on our hands. Your favorite foods all sounded really good to me!
My Two Questions for this week:
.
1. Do you take the rest of the day off for yourself after a doctor or dentist appointment? If so, what do you like to do?
.
Besides what I mentioned doing with Mrs. Jim I like to go for a nice ride taking the long way home. That is specially nice on the spring and fall days when I can put the top down on my Mustang.
.
2. Where do you like to just go to the store without necessarily buying anything?
.
In addition to the antique stores I like to visit the hardware and electronic stores. The library is fine too. Ocassionally I purchase a used book from the 'Friends of the Library' group.
.e .
Bonus Question: Do you get your dog's teeth cleaned?
.

Bonus Question: Do you get your dog's teeth cleaned?
That isn't easy or cheap anymore. The dogs need a pre-cleaning checkup including an EKG. Our two dogs were well over $200. I wonder if doggy medical insurance covers teeth cleaning?
Now for an example of THINGS NOT IN A ROW. This naughty beagle in the picture sent to me in a circulating e-Mail by my friend, John, must been pretty nervous when his master left for work.

That would be in the dog's dreams. This little Chihuahua belongs to a friend and they do travel places together like this but I doubt if ever to a movie like this.
