- the Letter "A" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with the Letter "A"; (B) A Favorite;
(C) "A" Architecture (Tom's choice); and (D) Reflection(s).
(A) Starts with the Letter "A": Apple starts with the Letter "A".
This is our youngest granddaughter, KP. She is doing the YMCA song "A" with the Apples. I think she will be guest on the fruit and vegetable lettered words, at least up through the "D".
The YMCA song: (by the Village People)
(B) A Favorite: The Volunteer Fire Department's Ladder Truck was my favorite entry in the Friendswood, Texas, Independent Day parade. I think most boys like fire engines.
Our vantage spot was inside the local MacDonald's. Of course it was air-conditioned to protect us from the sun and the hot.

That was in Friendswood, Texas, where we lived for 23 years. Would you believe that it had 33 inches water inside with the flood of July 1979?
(D) Reflection(s): As seen on N B C T V, The Macy's Light and Freedom, NYC, 4th of July Celebration. There was also the Washington, DC, National Independence Day Celebration on P B S T V but the firework viewed here was much better here from the cameras across the River. And they lasted longer.

Love the pic of your granddaughter. Cute! Our fireworks are tonight. I'm hoping they aren't as loud here as they were at my house in Illinois. Gus (our dog) is terrified of the noise.
ReplyDeleteKP is getting so big. They grow up so very fast.
ReplyDeleteI would have been in the McDonald's too. Way better than out in the hot.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Jim. ♪♫♪♫
...I expect to see KP and the produce department in the weeks ahead.
ReplyDelete...all boys like fire engines.
...isn't watching the parade from McDonalds cheating.
...'R'anches are the 'R'age in the south.
...with 33" of 'R'ain, you would need a boat!
Thank Jim for stopping by, stay cool.
Loved the video of the YMCA song Jim and a lovely photograph of your granddaughter. Lovely reflection shot. HAve a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would have been in McDonald's too, hate crowds.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great nostalgic truck - I very like those things.
ReplyDeleteYou've asked about the angel: I found it at a cemetery in Quedlinburg, Germany. Don't know nothing more about it. I earlier times (1880-1920) there were catalogues with grave statues and I think, it's not the onliest, maybe at other cemeteries in German cities you can found a few same angels.
Greetings from Germany :)
