Letter "K" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 12 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures
Letter "J" - This Week's Prompts: Starts with "K." A Favorite.
For Tom, "K"ing".
For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures.
_ _ _ _
Starts with "K": These cute little Kids were on TV, likely an article on the Today show of NBC stations. But I am not sure, only sure that the picture is of the TV screen, as is the one below.
Little Kids are always cute, older Kids are smart, and older kids are smart alics for a while. But at any age our kids are generally the most precious part of our lives. We have five kids, all grown with jobs or retired already.
For Tom, "King": The lady with these children is Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales. She is Prince William's wife. William is next in line for King of England.
A Favorite: The Royal family is one of Mrs. Jim's Favorite history in making item. She knows lineage of the past royalties and who marries to who. We have been to the Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the King and Queen. We have been to several of the ten royal palaces in London during our many visits there, over a dozen times. https://www.londonhut.com/p/10-royal-palaces-of-london

| This is the Japanese Garden at Powers Court, Ireland. |
For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: I will finish with another picture from Powerscourt in Ireland. https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/search?q=Powerscourt+in+Ireland
Steps to the garden were the ones that I fell on and broke my kneecap. I also was bloody from head to toe. I learned that that the ER, hospitals in Ireland, are free for seniors over 70.

Starts with "G": What does the word "Gras" stand for in 'Mardi Gras'? Answer: highlight the blank area below
Mardi is the French word for Tuesday, and gras means “fat.” In France, the day before Ash Wednesday came to be known as Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday.”

This year Mardi Gras was on February 13. Our younger daughter brought us these two small cakes as a Mardi Gras present.

A Favorite: My favorite today will be Green
Grasshopper. I have forgotten where I found this green guy grasshopper. Maybe in the Grocery store garden section?
Read more about him in my 2010 blog post, click here.
One of my reader commenters there said of this,
"that grasshopper is a good old green soul
and as Kermit has taught us - it's not easy being green
I think he needs a good home and a loving friend
and I think you fit the bill"
and as Kermit has taught us - it's not easy being green
I think he needs a good home and a loving friend
and I think you fit the bill"
Tom's choice, "Ground": In the move we've lost our meat grinder. No more ground baloney. I'll have to put my teeth in before I eat, or really chew hard. (directions for the above recipe, click here)
For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: She is supposed to be telling a joke. Her jokes sometimes are kind of corny. We have a second row seat, our pew.

The Letter "Q" -- Weekend Roundup and Reflections
The forty-third issue of Weekend Roundup for this year, 2020...
(A) Starts with the Letter "Q": "Quite" starts with "Q". Here we have "Mary, Mary Quite Contrary's" (of How does your Garden Grow?) new She Shed.
That She Shed is one step higher than a Man Cave. Why? Because it has more utility.
Or regular priced at $4.38 at our Neighborhood Walmart. It is Quite Brisk, if your grocer stocks it you should try some, it is our regular coffee. That said, we mix Dark Roast half and half with Decaf. That's because of my mineral and red cell counts getting too low with too much cafine in my diet.
(C) A Favorite (Good Reflections too): Leaving Istanbul through the Bosporus Strait and heading into the Black Sea for Bulgaria, Romania, and the Ukraine.
(D) Reflections: Sunrise in the Black Sea coming into Bulgaria.
_ _ _
Bonus Questions:
(1) Please tell us your Gardening Likes. My Thumb definitely is not Green and I dont like gardening. I do like to visit pretty Gardens.
(2) What are your favorite coffee tastes, habits, brewing, etc.? We have a 6-cup Dripolator, a broken Keurig, and an older Nespresso machine. I like the 6-cup the best but often use the other two for a single cup, generaly Decaf.
(3) What is your favorite "Q" Word? My favorite "Q" Word today will be "Quebec", really for "Quebec City". We've spent about a month total time, 1/4 each in Quebec City, Montreal, the East Township, and Other Places at large. All sleeping was done in the first three. I've blogged about some.
