Letter "G" -- Weekend Roundup and Reflections
The sixth issue this week of my 2021 WEEKEND ROUNDUP postings and ... (THE SEVENTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES) - the Letter "G" Prompts are: (A) Starts with the Letter "G"; (B) "Green" (Tom's Choice); (C) A Favorite; (D) Reflections; and (E) A Lagniappe.
_ _ _ _
(E.1) A Lagniappe first: Granddaughter in Green and Mrs. Jim fitting nicely in the Mrs.'s "Big Chair".
(A) Starts with the Letter "G": Golf starts with "G". Every late winter, early February for our part of Texas, we start talking about playing Golf again. It's been five years since we moved away from our Golf Course home and we haven't played since.
But we probably won't play at the course above because it is in Phoenix, Arizona.
Mom didn't trust the automatic transmission in the car Dad had purchased as she couldn't tell what gear it was in and was afraid it might be choosing the wrong gear at times. This Mustang II and a hot rod Ford Torino were the only Fords that year with standard transmission. She said, "Yes, get it for me" of the little down-sized Mustang. That was the first year of downsizing for it. It was built on a Ford Pinto chassis (we had a yellow 1972 model Pinto for our driver car--it was lost in our 1979 flood along with two other cars and a motorcycle.). (Copied from my 2017 post, http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2017/09/fridays-hunt-v411-k-is-for.html )
(B) "Green" (Tom's Choice): You may have seen my Green 1974 Mustang II Ghia, I was the original owner, buying it as a Ford employee lease car turn in. I bought it for my mom and she and my father immediately (two weeks later) came to Texas after it.
Mom died in 1999 and when Dad also died in 2007 the little Mustang II was returned to me. I promptly drove it back to Texas. It has a V6 engine, air conditioning, a manual opening top, and an eight track AM-FM radio.
Oh yes, original paint, new Whitehall tires, always was garaged, not driven in snow, and has 67,xxx miles mostly driven by a little old lady (a LOL).
(C) A Favorite: A giant's sling shot ready tree trunk. It is outside one of the Houston Methodist West facility where I got my second COVID-19 vaccine jab Tuesday this week. Down the road a few blocks yesterday I had cataract surgery.
(D) Reflections: Hard to tell but the Grass was Green around the pond in the background. This was taken last week during our walk, here was across the road from our home.
_ _ _ _
(2) What is your favorite Word starting with "G"? Mine today will be "Grandkids". We have six grandchildren, four greatgrandmom, and two great-greats so far.
(3) Anything else you were reminded of here that you would like to tell about?

Letter "F" -- Weekend Roundup and Reflections
The sixth issue this week of my 2021 WEEKEND ROUNDUP postings and ... (THE SIXTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES) - the Letter "F" Prompts are: (A) Starts with the Letter "F"; (B) "Full" (Tom's Choice); (C) A Favorite; (D) Reflections; and (E) A Lagniappe.
(A) Starts with the Letter "F": Winter Flowers at the crossing. No Marigolds or Pansies as they will attract rabbits.
(B) "Full" (Tom's Choice): A February Full Moon, named a Wolf Moon
(C) A Favorite: Fireworks in Washington D.C. Washington Monument is showing at the end of the Mall area.
(D) Reflections: From the parking garage, a glassed in pedestrian bridge, to the Vaccine Center. Yes, we had our first COVID-19 shots two weeks ago at our local Houston Methodist Hospital Facility. Pardon my partial Selfie showing.
(E) A Lagniappe: A Driving Picture
(2) What is your favorite Word starting with "F"? Mine today will be "Fingers" as they are the chief "get things done" appendages of your body. Wear a doubled pair of mittens for a morning and you'll get the idea real quick. BTW, my hands are ambidextrous and multitask adapted, even at the same time, for that I say "Multidextrous".

Letter "E" -- Weekend Roundup and Reflections
(1) Tell a bit about your experience or feelings about getting your first Driving License. I don't remember much about getting it as I had a 'School and Work Driving License' since I was 14. I do remember going to the Lincoln, Nebraska, DMV Office to get it in exchange for my 14-year-old's license.
(2) What is your favorite Word starting with "E"? Mine today will be "Ear Rings" and how they make your ear growing action faster. I blogged (click here) about the ear growing bit quite some time ago. One finding is that the heavier Ear Ring the faster the Ear Length will grow.

Letter "D" -- Weekend Roundup and Reflections
(1) Tell a bit about your experience or feelings about
having a puppy. Adi, our Beagle Dog, belonged, and probably still does, to our younger daughter. It was purchased as a pup, a purebred, but cheaper without papers.
Two problems came up real quick, first, they lived in a third floor apartment and that meant carrying a puppy up and down two flights of stairs for potty training and any outings. Also Adi didn't like being left alone and began to eat the walls iin the utility room where her bed was.
So Adi soon came to live with us. Adi died in 2012.

(2) What is your favorite Word starting with "D"? Mine today will be "Daughter" , I have two, younger one working at home for COVID-19 period, and the other picking up the pieces after her husband died two weeks ago, of a combination COVID-19 and heart problems. Both are precious in our family.
