(THE NINETEENTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES)
- the Letter "S" Prompts are:
(A) Starts with the Letter "S"; (B) A Favorite;
(C) "S" for '"S"ingle' (Tom's choice); and (D) Reflections
(A.1) Starts with "S". Surprise starts with "S". When I was about a half mile down the road I was very surprised to see this fellow, a Gecko obviously from our front flower bed, clinging to the hood of my car.
Gecko -- Wikipedia
It wouldn't get off until I finally shooed it off after I had stopped for gas. Far from its home it started a new one in a pretty flower bed beside the gas station.

(A.2) Starts with "S". Strawberry starts with "S". I like my Strawberries best sliced and in it's own juice, started flowing with a bit of sugar, over Blue Bell Lite Homemade Vanilla ice cream. Next best to me is
Strawberry Preserves spread over a slice of a warm from the oven homemade flour biscuit.
(B) A Favorite: The letter opener tells it all. This kind of Navy Seals is in the 'unsealing business.'
It was in the goodie bag that my SIL received at a golf tournament. He tied for First place but was awarded the trophy for Second place as he lost to the other fellow in a "score card playoff."

(C) "S" for '"S"ingle' (Tom's choice): Single bananas at the grocery store produce isle.

My Two Questions (you can answer just one if you'd like):
1. What has been your experience with Geckos? .We have been overrun by them. Don't leave a door open for long or some will come inside.
2. What do you use to open letters? I use an old thing butcher knife that Mrs. Jim was throwing away. It has a wooden handle, real wood.
Bonus Questions:
1. What is your favorite "S" word? Samballat, he was a rabble rouser in the Bible when they were trying to rebuild the walls that had been destroyed. (click here, Reference link)
2. What is your take on Strawberries? I like my Stawberries out of the patch better than the two I wrote about above.

1. What has been your experience with Geckos? I love them and consider them lucky. We find them indoors now and then and hubby gently puts them back outside.
ReplyDelete2. What do you use to open letters? My fingers. I know I have a letter opener somewhere, but I don't know quite where.
Bonus Questions:
1. What is your favorite "S" word? Simple. It's the best say to go on almost anything.
2. What is your take on Strawberries? I love all things strawberries. My favorite jam or jelly, love strawberry shortcake and just eating strawberries.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Jim. 😎
...the only Geckos that I see are in Maui, it must be too cold in New York for them. And who doesn't love Strawberry jam? Count me in. I like 'Navy Seals are in the unsealing business!' It must be lonely to be a single banana. Thanks Jim for stopping by, I hope that you will have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen geckos! Strawberries are my favorites too and the banana slogan is hilarious :))
ReplyDeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteGeckos are something we only see when we are travelling in Mexico or Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteOpen letters with my finger. John will take a kitchen knife (drives me nuts) so I recently found our collection of letter openers for him to use.
Love your S word. My favourite? SUNSHINE on this gloomy day.
Strawberries - prefer them fresh to any other way.
I would be surprised with the Gecko on my car too - probably would have cooked if left on too long.
ReplyDeleteMy niece had them in Hawaii when stationed there.
I have an opener like that, but I don't use it - I need to do that.
Favorite s word - Sandie - lol.
Love strawberries.
Stay Warm. It is cold here.
Love, sandie
Cute little gecko! We used to see them a lot when we lived in Arizona. I also like to dip fresh strawberries in chocolate! YUM! Have a nice week, Jim.
