Weekend Roundup with "L"; Little, Long, and Last

 
The 12th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
 - the Letter "L" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with "L"; (B) A Favorite; (C) Long; and (D) Reflection(s).

 

(A) Starts with "L": Little Boys starts with "L".  What does this picture remind you of?  Need a hint?  Think STATUE.  Read about it here or view a ScreenPrint copy (that I made from the previous link) here.


(B) A Favorite, (also Long) today:   This is KP, our youngest (of four) granddaughters.  She has just finished making a batch of SLIME at our house and was checking it out.  I was FINE, really stretching LONG.


(C) Long: This is the U.S. Highway 90 Long Bridge over the Achaffalia (flood) Resevoir coming from Baton Rouge.  Last week I posted from a McDonald's there.  The bridge is miles and miles long, there is a modern bridge south a few miles on Interstate 10. 

A Link to Louisiana's Long Bridges, click here.  Note, I traveled this bridge when I came to Texas to stay (from prior living in New Hampshire, via El Paso and Nebraska first).

 
This is my second Louisiana picture today, it is what we see after leaving the U.S. Hwy 90 Long Bridge, a Long stretch of Oak Trees.
 

(D) Reflection(s): I took this nice Reflection picture Last Saturday morning. I had just purchased a dozen donut holes for KP (youngest grandchild) and was parked in front of the Kolache place. I know, last week's Friday word needed to start with the Kolache "K".

(E) Last:  Just for viewing, this picture was taken of Calcasieu Lake south of Lake Charles, Louisiana.   We took a little side trip (link, we followed State Highway 27) going around Lake Charles, along the Louisiana Gulf of Mexico shores, up through Cameron and back to the I-10 Highway.

The lake was full, on level with our road after a big rain bringing some flooding. [click on picture for larger viewing]


We did stop at Cameron for a very nice Shrimp Poboy sandwich.  It was about the best I've had, ever.  It had over a dozen nice sized shrimp.  I've eaten half of it.


We bought it here.  Seating was ground level in the Little building, pictured in the forefront but we ate in our car.  We ordered and they cooked in an elevated room in the darkened area behind.  The steps you see at the left lead to this comes-in-handy restroom.  Grading the restroom, I would be generous and give it a seven out of ten.

My Week — Six Word Saturday — Family


I've had blogging blahs this week
.
This is my first posting since last Saturday.


The answer to last weeks quiz was correctly answered by Jenn of "You know... that Blog?" (link):
"It's an i-fish - my daughter has one. It's an interactive speaker for an iPod :D They have a bunch of different ones, and you can link them all up and watch them move and light up to the music."

This cloud was leading my way last Saturday. Had I stayed home doing my blogging thing I would have missed a not nice cold and hard rain.

Things are a little better now that I've found some help as Jack-in-the-Box has their fish sandwiches for $1.50.

Dino held a two hour benefit concert on Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church, Rosenburg, Texas. All proceeds went to help four children. Their father had killed their mother and grandmother but was found thanks to the TV program, "America's Most Wanted."

Monday was not quite so good as I found out my kidneys are getting old. I am hoping that I will outlast them.

Tuesday was another up day, I played golf with the guys.

Wednesday was okay too, we had Southern fried catfish for supper at church.

Thursday was son Tim's birthday, we had supper out at a nice Mexican restaurant. From left to right: granddaughter Jenna, Tim, James (friend of Megan), granddaughter Megan, myself, and Mrs. Jim.


Friday night granddaughter KP (link) began spending the weekend with us. Her mom and dad were attending Sweet Sixteen basketball games being held in Houston.

She couldn't come eat with her cousins on Thursday night.

And our new Big Lots store is now open for business. Horray!
