Merry Christmas !!! ~~ Friday’s Hunt v.4.25 -- "Y" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of December 22nd
1. Starts with Y; 2. tree; and 3. shadows
This time I found a Yellow Crop Dusting Airplane Picture. It was in a book at our World Market store. I always wanted to ride with a Crop Duster but never had a real chance. I suppose if I asked Cliff (Cliff Morrow's Blog--now silent in favor of Facebook) he would arrange that, or perhaps even fly me in his brothers plane.
I did find a couple of other Yellow pictures that were in competition for this season of Yellow:
[Train full of fruit at our Sprouts Grocery Store - - - Former 'Family/handicap" RR on Princess ships]
2. Tree: The large trees at the Model Railroad Exhibition at the main campus of our church. That's the Second Baptist Church of Houston, Woodway Campus. Ours 34 miles away is the 1463 Campus, located on Texas Hwy 1463 at Katy and Fulshear, Texas.
Note two girls in these pictures, KP is the youngster at the very bottom of the picture on the left. On the right this girl is hugging one of the Nutcrackers.
3. Shadows: These are NYC traffic shots, getting over to Brooklyn. We were in a van. I hadn't noticed the car shadows until I started looking for some today. Yellow vehicles too. I'm glad our trees aren't going yellow.

O..........Now for more of the Lagniappe. Yellow could also be this corn tortilla taco which uses some of our surplus of frozen clams. "Y" also for Yummy !!!
.................................................................... 4. 4. 4. 4. A bit of Lagniappe: I hope that you like this feature. Another hint, the running picture concerns my recently married great-granddaughter, who has announced that next year Mrs. Jim and I will become great-great-grandparents. Or "Y" could be for Yummy-not in this not-delicious looking stuff, formally known to the kids as 'slime'. Mrs. Jim and KP made this slime yesterday using the common liquid starch and glue and water (1/2 cup each) and food dye and sparkles recipe.
If you try to make it, add the liquid starch after mixing the water and glue. And dump into a clean bowl when it's finished.

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.4.24 -- "X" is for ...
Friday's Hunt for the week of December 15th
1. Starts with "X"; 2. craft; and 3. growing
1. Starts with "X": "XTBD", if ever. It should be "XMAS" but the rest of post isn't very '"X"mas-sy'.
2. Craft:
.
You might think this was in the farm room but these toys were at Dad's nursing home. We had stopped in to tell him goodbye. That was in August, 2006 (link). Dad died in February, 2007, at age 97.
Aren't those nice trucks? The Red Hat ladies and the Construction Guys (they gave Dad his hard hat)(July 24 posting) made toys for a fundraiser.
The residents helped too. The day before we had watched one of the men residents painting the trucks and the benches. He was doing a good job, I didn't know they would turn out this nice.
3. Growing:
To the south of the corn crib was where Mom had her garden. It was large, about an acre including the potato patch.
Now Grass and Weeds are Growing where the precious garden once was. I wrote a 'poem' about this in my other blog yesterday. (You can read it by clicking here. )

4. A bit of Lagniappe: Still not saying much about this picture. If I don't get a better "X" word, we will for sure have "X marks the spot." The dart board to which the balloons are attached is also a craft work of sorts. In the meantime you can be guessing what this picture is all about.

- The top picture is one of the remaining buildings on my parent's Nebraska farm. Shown is the corn crib and to the left side of the picture across a little lane was Mother's large garden. We all, my sister, Dad, and I, helped her with that. The best part was eating the vegetables fresh from picking but we all enjoyed helping there, especially when we were all out there with mom.
'
- The bottom two pictures were taken from my cousins' (Jean and hubby, Dwain) garden this summer, July 1. Jean's rhubarb needed to be picked. We did and she gave us most of what we had picked which we took back to Houston. Mrs. Jim makes really good rhubarb pie. The rhubarb is the lower large green leaves on the left picture.

2. Wood: Kizhi was a United Nations Heritage site with it's many "Wooden" churches and buildings. Here we had self guided tours with each major building having a guide to explain things. Other smaller places had signs which told us what we were seeing. Built on a small island, we walked from one end to the other. [Be sure to click on the pictures for larger sized viewing -- Back button will/should return you here.]
3. Festive: Mrs. Jim's Brother, Danny, and SIL, Winetta visited us for the "Thanksgiving week". The Jim Bunch ate a lot. And did sightseeing.
