Starts with "W": Write starts with a "W".
I write for my readers more than for myself.
For this reason, I still do the alphabet, but I'm thinking not after we reach the letter "Z" here.
Most of the four or so that respond to Tom don't return my comment left after reading theirs. I like comments from them. As I write this on Sunday night there have been NO COMMENTS left here on this blog for the last two weeks.
But most of my faithful readers are friends and relatives of whom I don't expect comments, not many at least. That said, I intend to keep on writing on weekends, kind of a report on the things that our family and I are doing. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH, you friends and relatives.
And Tom, I thank you very much too for supporting us faithful ones who respond. I may switch to another of your blogs.
A Favorite and Street/Candid Captures: Waiting for her ride, granddaughter.

James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: Seems I might have posted before. Not sure where is located but feel it's close to our home, southwest of our home. Sorry 'bout that.

.Adi is posing with her aunt and uncle for a goodbye picture. We enjoyed staying with Lois and Jim (my sister and bro-in-law). You have seen most of our local tours. From August 2, 2006 post,
Starts with "N": Now soon I need to see my sister, haven't seen or visited with her, other that messages on the cell phone for probably nine years when she came here. Next should be my turn.
But I may have waited too long, the ladies in my life think I am too old at 90 to drive that far anymore. Southwest is having a $39 per flight sale now close like Memphis, $80 to Iowa where Lois lives. But I wouldn't drive straight through all the way one, up or down, but would and stop and see/visit my cousin in Arkansas who is a couple of years later than my age.
A Favorite: New Driver of my latest Antique? Car that I got back in 2000 for my retirement present. I would retire in 2001. This is our younger granddaughter, now a high school freshman.

For Tom, "Nice": Nice to know information, especially for us along the Gulf of Mexico coast.

Letter "C" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 11 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures -- Corny, but there is a lot of Corn here today
- This Week's Prompts Starts with "C." A Favorite. Tom's Choice, "C"andy.
- James' request, "Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures." _ _ _

| Roasting Corn Ears ready for Cooking (boil until kernals are soft) |
.Starts with "C": Corn starts with "C". I can't eat corn anymore, doctor's order. Nor can I eat nuts and seeds. I cheat a little, could be Fake News, but I believe that Pecans are vegetables.
A Favorite: These are Corndogs that I cooked. Corndogs, sliced dill pickles, and Diet Cokes with corn chips on the table.
Picture courtesy of S T A T E . F A I R http://corndogs.com/
Corn Dogs are one of my favorite foods. I had my first one in California, on a pier near San Franscico in 1964.
Tom's Choice, "Candy": Candy Corn Day, October 31, is always on my birthday. So every year I buy a big bag of the Candy Corn for my namesake.
A Lagniappe No. 1: A Corn Plant. There are no ears or blossoms, ornamental only. They are very easy to grow though. Even forgiving if not watered a time or two.
A Lagniappe No. 2: Corn Field, this is me and youngest granddaughter a long time ago, peeking around out from the Corn Stalks. Click on this URL for the story behind the photo.

Letter "L" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 09 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures
- Tom's This "Week's Prompts, Starts with "L." A Favorite. - "L"ove.
- James' wishes for our Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures
_ _ _ _
Starts with "L": Lois starts with "L". This is my sister, Lois. We don't see her very often anymore; she lives in a faraway state, and we live down south in Texas.
Here, Lois 'baby' sits' dogs for her son and grandchildren. She has never said yes to my request for her to 'baby' sit Adi. Probably she thought I wasn't being serious. Adi, the Beagle Dog, was here because we were visiting Lois.
Find more of my posts having Lois, click this link.
A Favorite: "Last" will be my Favorite today. This is my Last garbage Can Liner out of the batch we inherited from Mema, Mrs. Jim's mother.
Where Mema lived a big roll of liners came, no extra charge, every two or three months. She didn't need that many but saved them for us, her son-in-laws. After she moved out of her house we collected six rolls of these, I think we found a few more and I took two more. They have lasted us for about twenty years, now we'll have to but them.
Oh yes, Last isn't always my favorite. Generally I hate being Last in many things. Standing in Lines and being Last, to shut off the lights, I hate being last to shut off the lights as I hate being in the dark. But being nice may be polite, Jesus said the first shall be last. Matthew 20, verse 16, Matthew 20, verse 16.
Tom's choice, "Love": I Love my grandchildren. I have six, none are favorites. That said the younger and those living close naturally get more attention.
This is our Last grandchild, the picture taken several years ago. She is a teenager now. Probably it will be the Last time I'll catch her with my camera pulling in the garbage can.
Lagniappe #1: I Love this quote, so does one of my Facebook friends who posted it.
Reflections and/or Street Photos/Candid Captures: I went out to get a picture, the one on the left, and noticed the Reflection in the window of the plant, a --- that is about to reach the eaves of our house. The Reflection is of that in the window of our back yard. So I took another that showed it better, and then one of Palmeira flower showing the living room back window's Reflection.
A Lagniappe #2: Tell about one of your experiences with peppers.
I have a recipe for "Quick and Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers."
Use precooked boudin, it consists of Cajun spiced sausage and rice, perfect for stuffing precooked (boiled) cut in halves Green Pepper. One link will make two stuffed half peppers, a package generally comes with two or more links.
Bake in the oven, probably about 350 degrees until nice and hot.
You can garnish the top with breadcrumbs or even put ketchup on the tops. Yum Yum.
