Weekend Roundup -- 24-18 (for letter "X")

The 24th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
The week's prompts:
(1) Starts with "X"; (2) A Favorite; and (3) My Choice 
 _ _ _ _ _
(1) Starts with "X": "X-MAS", short for "Christmas"  Here I have an couple of X-MAS Pickup Trucks.  One is cute, a decorative X-MAS toy, and the other is a real, Red 1952 or 1953 Ford hauling X-MAS Greenery.
 
 



(2) A Favorite: 
 
This is a lawn mower guy taking a lunch break at our local MacDonald's.

(3.a) My Choice: These girls are posted on my other normally active blog, Jim's Little Photo & Poem Place for yesterday and today.  The girl on our right is my youngest granddaughter, KP.

 (3.b) My Choice: A golfer is proud to be able to score his age or less in a round of golf.
 I won't ever be able to do that but already I can drive my age.  Or more. You've heard of old folk who get their keys taken away by some busy body relatives.  I hope this never happens to me.  My dad had a cousin who drove into her 100's.  So there is hope for me.  Dad lived to be 97.

This was a loner car that we took to Tennessee this summer, ours was in the shop.  It was a Cadillac SUV with just 572 miles.  When we brought it back it had almost 2000. There we visited Mrs. Jim's Brother and SIL for about a week (link).

  3. Love the Xmas Jolly Green Pickup truck. Grandchildren are the absolute best! You ask if my husband had a printer. D.C. doesn't have a printer, but he was a Pressman printer at the time he injured his hand, one of the huge printing presses for printing magazines.
