The Letter "D" ~~ Weekend Roundup and Reflections

The 30th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year... (THE FOURTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES)
- the Letter "D" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with the Letter "D"; (B) A Favorite; (C) "D" for Dark (Tom's choice); and (D) Reflection(s). 

 

(A) Starts with the Letter "D": "Dried Fruit" starts with "D". Here is KP one more time doing the YMCA song letter for "D".  We were at The Sprouts Grocery Store and they have about the best Bulk Dried Fruit, and also their Candied Fruit is super.  I like Dark Chocolate Covered Dried Cranberries best.

I have hopes for her to lend us her hands for more. If you'd like you could give her a hand of encouragement, perhaps she will.

AND I'd appreciate if you would suggest an "E" fruit besides the "Eggplants" that came to my mind, but which KP thinks are GROSS..

The kids are animating to help learn their memory verse

Pictured here three of our six adults and the two high school student helpers

 

 Four tables set for twelve . . . . Ms. Nan, Leader of our crew -- Our Island

The yellow Paper chain is a Prayer Chain.  Only a part shows here.

 

A few of the kids had to leave early so their picture and porthole have gone

home with them.  The small boat pulls us workers, seven adults and two

high school students (boys).  Amongst other duties, I was class photographer.

Again this year, Captain Longbeard was leader for the school.

(B) A Favorite:  Probably the bottom boat picture is MY Favorite, but these are all Favorites for this week.  They were taken at our church in our VBS (Vacation Bible School) Classroom where we had 49 third grade students.  We had eight (8) third grade classes, most had a similar or larger number of kids.

(C) "D" for Dark (Tom's choice): Here at right is the picture of THE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE that I took from the flight attendants' window on our way home from Sydney, Australia.  It was at night, Dark, and my camera did not pick up a good photo. (Read more here...) (Oh yes, the attendants had the exact time that we would be crossing so finding it was now problem, right below.  Dah.)

(D) Reflection(s):  This is in the Foyer/Atrium of our church, Second Baptist Church Houston, 1463 Campus (# 6 of Seven).

What you see are the Reflections of Globe Lights and a lot of Balloons hung for VBS (Vacation Bible School)

Now for my  Friday Two Questions.
When I was doing this post for Teresa I would have this section.  It is new here for Tom.  I will see if it is liked, let me know.  And please PARTICIPATE.  Thank you a lot, I like to be humored.

My last post last week was about my Toy Cars.  I should have started there by asking about your Toys.  If you'd like to tell so, you can do that here even if I didn't ask. 

Crossing the International Date Line during our flight was going to be a big thing for me but I can say it was like the song, "Is that all there is to love," sung by .   

I was able to take a picture out the cabin attendants' window of that line.  Unfortunately it was dark outside so the picture leaves a lot to the imagination. I will enjoy reading about your kind feelings towards these words.

My Two Questions for this week (you can answer just one if you wish):.

1. Did you attend VBS when you were small?
I did not.  I think we did not go to church or Sunday School until I was finished with 5th grade.
.2
2. What favorite fruit or vegetable would you like for me to photograph, with price showing I hope?  You can tell me anytime, I will line them up.
Unless I change, My favorite will be Rhubarb. Best in pie, sauce, or jams.

Bonus Question: What is your favorite "D" word?
