Weekend Roundup -- 08-18(b) (for letter "H")

The 34th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
The week's prompts:
(1) Starts with "H"; (2) A Favorite; and (3) Horse
(4) Pictures on the bottom are for "Reflections"
 
[a couple of Half Birthday Cakes for two young ladies with Half Birthdays]
[Half a Birthday, in-between day, so kids can celebrate summer BDays at school]
(1) Starts with "H": "Half" starts with "H".  Here are several "Half Pictures."  (There is another at the bottom for my "Reflections" photo, I call it "Half Dark".)
Half a BOGO* order of MacDonald's Egg McMuffins

Seems that this truck was half gone/destroyed and had been replaced

(1.a)  Correction:  Last week's lovely Garden Salad was not from a restaurant.   Our daughter Karen made it for us.   She made it for Granddaughter KP's pool party, four of us with KP swimming.  It was for main course with all the pretty vegatables and then burrata  cheese for protein and dairy.  Summer late afternoon had just set in. Perfect for swimming. 

(2) A Favorite:  "Handy Man Puppet."  This came on the side of a MacDonald's Happy Meal carton.  Something for the kids to cut out.  I have fun with mine, it stays where I can find it.

Can you guess where that is?
Answer:  In my Bible . (highlight the empty area)



(3) Horse: This Ceramic Horse and the Bronz Horse originally belonged to my Grandpa H.  He had a large collection of figurine and toy horses, somehow my dad obtained these two when my Grandfather had to leave his Home.  And now I claim them. 

The toy animals I really like are the figures that are made to go along with the toy barns.  But I will not pay full price for them, probably spending birthday or Christmas gift money at years end when they are on a really nice sale would be just right.  But then what would I do with them?  Probably wish I had a barn.

Did you know that I rode my horse, Minnie,
to a country high school for my first two years? 
Every morning I was met by two neighbor girls
who rode their horses.  Our barn held eight horses.
(4) Begins with "H" for "Reflections":  I call it "Half Dark".  It is the little stream and lake in the first of our Flood Control waterways.
 
 
This is a "PrintScreen" photo that I snapped a few minutes ago.  Wish I were there.

  1. Jim, I love that figurine/toy horse, looks like one of a kind ♥ Sort of like a finger puppet, my favorite, too. The cakes look yummy, especially the one with strawberries! The sunset reflection is very pretty!
    Have a good week.

  2. ...half birthdays are new to me, perhaps we have them, but I'm with all that stuff. McDonald's, I try to stay clear of the place. What, you have your own Handy Man Puppet? I'm not too good at guessing. You are right, those toy animals are too expensive. And did you horse around with those two girls? Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your week.
