Letter "S" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 11 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures
This Week's Prompts: Starts with "S." A Favorite. "S"ingle Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures
Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: This woman had told me that the empty chair "was taken". But it remained empty the whole half hour show. She wouldn't look my way, I had found a lessor place and took this picture half way through the show. [from our October cruise on the Regal Princess, 12 days, from Ft. Lauderdale to Galveston, Texas. I was running away during my BIG birthday on October 30--that's why no posts for a couple of weeks.]

A Favorite: Sidewalk Walking Information.
The Bride and Groom
She is my love, I carry her picture
For forty-eight (now fifty) years the Lord has been true
That day so long ago I made my vow
To have and to hold, to cherish and love
She was naïve, tender, and oh so sweet
She loved me too, she'd love, honor, obey
We've kept those vows--our love has grown still more
I'd do it again, I know she would too

Letter "P" --- Friday's Weekend Roundup 10 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures
- Tom's "0" Week's Prompts, Starts with "P." A Favorite. "P"ink.
- James' Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures.
_ _ _
Starts with "P": This is my toy car, a 1:18 scale cast iron model of the 1955 Ford Crestline hardtop. I bought it way back from the farm store in Tekamah, Nebraska, from them after Christmas sale for half price.
Starts with "P": The machine on the rail is in the Peppa Pig Amusement Park in the U.K, just north of Southampton. KP, Mrs. Jim, and a SIL are riding it.
This car, next to the bottom, is another 1955 Ford, on a NAPA calendar, part of that collection. It might be red but I think it is a dark pink. Ford made more pink ones than red in 1955. The other may have been at the Peppa Pig Place, not sure.
You can see more of my scale model toys and toy cars here,
and some of my Toys in general here, a lot are cars,

The Pink Panther movie had all of us laughing most of the night, it was hilarious. I would recommend going to it. Rated at 'PG', it could have been rated 'G' except for a couple innuendoes and a crotch burning scene. And those weren't nearly as funny as the rest.
Now, I laugh out loud, LOL, I really do. With my mouth open too. I wasn't the only one laughing, everyone was. And I didn't go to sleep once--except during the commercials before it started.
A Favorite: Play day is over. Three Red Shirted Fellows and eight of us others will now go on to Incredible Pizza who is having 'all you can eat' senior lunch for $4.50 plus tax for the 19th hole eating and that four-fifty includes pizza, other entree foods, salad, drinks, and desert. Alcohol is not served there.
These fellows are all in Mrs. Jim's Sunday Bible Class but they let me play with them because our fellows don't Play golf. This course was Private and the owner has gone out of business, there was no buyer for it so it is now closed.
A Langiappe: Beyonce Knowles as Xania in MGM/Columbia Pictures' The Pink Panther - 2006 [Beyonce is a Houston, Texas, girl made good in the flicks]
James' Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures: (Note, this is a repeat of last weeks.) Adi, our now deceased Beagle dog, from our former Montgomery County (TX) found this pretty place on our walk. We spotted it one morning on Our walk around and along the golf course.

Letter "B" - Friday's Weekend Roundup 10 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures
- Tom's Requests: Starts with "B"; A Favorite; and Tom's suggestion, "Big".
- James' request, Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures.
_ _ _ _
Starts with "B": Beautiful and Beauty begin with the letter "B". In humans, women, especially most models, are Beautiful while men are called with the label, Handsome. The word Beauty is normally associated with innate objects, plants, and the like. Like the Beautiful Spaghetti and Meat Balls with Red Sause dish that I made/cooked for our noon lunch.
"I will always like the 1949 Ford Pickup., it is one of my favorite old trucks. One like this is what I drove to high school in town for my last two years (the first two years I did not attend a town school, but rather a 10 grade two room country school). This one is on the August 2009 NAPA calendar that I have in my collection. Here is a link to read about me and that truck." [Collected from my previous Weekend Roundup May 25, 2018 post,

A Lagniappe #2: From my Old Iron News, January 10 email, county fairs generally have a row of them on display. From reading this I learned a lot more about the small gasoline engines, they fascinate me. Some also about these folks' family Business.

Weekend Roundup -- 05-18 (for letter "E")
Weekend Roundup, this week's prompts;
Starts with "E"; A Favorite; and Evening
(1) Starts with "E": Elephant starts with "E". This is KP's school room. Originally it was a "secret room" with access made by pushing towards the wall on a bookcase. KP has pretty well taken over there. Other than school, remaining are a few communications distribution equipment on one wall. KP is our eight-year-old granddaughter. She's in the third grade.
Teacher's desk. Pretty neat (both definitions)!
(2) A Favorite: First week in February, a new month, calls again for my NAPA Calendar. On display below is a pretty 1956 Austin-Healy sports car. They came out just before I was drafted, I remember visiting the dealer showroom in Lincoln Nebraska. At the moment I wanted one but instead I bought a New 1956 Ford Sunliner Convertible.
(3) Evening: It snowed all day but this is all that lingered on until Evening when the snowfall stopped. Some places in town had more, others had less.
4.a. Lagniappe: Elfin Sports cars. These cars are made in Australia. I first heard of them when preparing for this Weekend Roundup post. (Link 1)(Link 2)

Weekend Roundup -- 02-18 (for letter "B")
Weekend Roundup:
Starts with "B." Weeks favorite. New Beginning.
(1) Starts with "B" "B" is for Bellaire, a Red 1957 Chevy Bellaire Convertible. It is the First month's picture for my 2018 NAPA Calendar. BTW, I had a very good friend who had one of these new. Both he and the Chevy Bellaire were consumed in a Gas Station Fire. Someone lit a cigarette, my friend was working at the station.
The specs: Either a 265 c.i.d. or a 283 c.i.d. engine. My flathead Hot Rodded 1952 Ford 2-Door** would outrun or keep even with all the overhead valve 1955-6-7 Chevy's
(2) Weeks favorite: Mood helpers:
Hopeful Promise (Rainbow after Rain):
(3) New Beginning: My Chevy Bellaire is also a New Beginning as it is to be found on my NAPA Auto Parts Classic Car Calendar, New for January 2018.
As I have mentioned before, I have them from the second to this one. These NAPA Auto Parts Calendar had their beginnings in the 1970's.
** Note:
My 1952 Ford 2-door, hot rodded, had a Mercury Flathead valve V-8 engine that I built, bored and stroked, ported and relieved, with a "Street cam". It had an automatic transmission, looked stock, except for upgraded seats. We calculated it to be 297 c.i.d.
It was a very pretty green, I bought it two years old. I don't know how fast it would go but the speedometer only went to 100 and I drove it so fast you could look down into the instrument and not be able to see the needle. Those were my 'fast days'.
found at http://www.car-logos.net/
4.2. Lagniappe: Braunschweiger (starts with "B") Snack that I take with my Tri-glyceride Meds (take with food" directions). I buy them at our New (beginnings) Aldi's Grocery Store for $1.99 for a one pound package. My other name brand had gone up to $3.99 for eight ounces at our name brand store.
BTW, you may call this treat "liverwurst".
