Letter "K" -- Weekend Roundup

THE ELEVENTH LETTER FOR THIS SERIES) - the Letter "K" Prompts are: (A) Starts with the Letter "Kooky"; (B) "Kooky" (Tom's Choice); (C) A Favorite; (D.1 & D.2) A Reflection/Street Scene and Lagniappe. 
  _ _ _ _  


[ The Blarney Stone is a part of the structure in the top passage inside this tower outside Killarney. ]

(A) Starts with the Letter "K":  Killarny, Ireland, starts with the letter "K".  I have Kissed the Blarney Stone on two different visits. (Read more)

Our nice B&B in Killarney, we stayed there three different years. (Read More)  I found a four leaf clover beside the sidewalk while walking down into the town.  

Remember to wear Green next Wednesday for St. Patrick's Day.

(Down pictures, Kooky town of Luckenbach, Texas).

  
.
First picture is the 'food to go' kitchen. Next is the inside of the men's room. Last on the right is the outside of this building. Mrs. Jim said the women's room had stalls with curtains for doors.


 

Here, at Luckenbach,  Texas (google link), the action is starting. We were there from about 6:00 PM to around 7:15 and this fellow was playing and singing on the stage the whole time.

Mrs. Jim was waiting for me to come back from the men's room. The last picture says the singer is taking a break and that 'all that's left is us chickens.' Happy picnicking with your food on those tables. Shoo the chickens off first.  at 
(B) "Kooky" (Tom's Choice):  Isn't Luckenbach a Kooky little town?  Fun to visit but don't stay, people don't live there.
Question, Which came first, the Kook or being Kooky?  Like which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Answer, if you believe the Bible is true, the chicken.  Genesis says that God created the fowls, it doesn't say that he made eggs.   He made chickens so that the chicken could make her eggs.

Now, also the Kook or Kooky as both being words.  Please see google's answer in "D" below. 


(C) A Favorite:   Keeping with Texas Spring Tradition, this Redbud Tree that we found on our Wednesday's walk decided to bloom.  Note the brown grass due to our recent cold, very cold.  But the Redbud Tree stood ready to bloom.

(D.1) A Lagniappe:  Kook or Kooky?  


Now you know.  


(D.2) Street Photo and another  Lagniappe:  Where I broke my Kneecap, at Powerscourt Garden, Ireland.  I fell on these steps going down the hill into the garden, the Young Lady sitting there and another fellow helped me get up.   They overcame my objections, I didn't want to get up, rather just lay there and misserate. (Read More)

Bonus Questions: 
 
(1)  Tell about your accident or other some other unusual experience away from home that you'd like to share.  Besides breaking my kneecap, I would tell about backing our rental SUV in Italy into a bruiser monster truck double parked behind me.  Several witnesses told me to hurry and leave before the owner came back.  Fearing an altercation by judging the frenzied motioning we did leave, quickly.  The rental people passed this damage on as I had noted previous damage there at the time we picked it up.  

(2) What is your favorite Word starting with "K"?  Mine today will be  "King", because at my age people have started treating me like a "King". 

(3) Anything else you were reminded of here that you  would like to tell about?

Nice photos!
Never been to Ireland but I may have passed through Luckenbach once.
It was before my time but you might remember "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb" :-)

...I never been to KILLARNEY, maybe someday.
...but I am been to KOOKY Luckenbach, it's been a while and I don't remember a lot about it. But it sure is small.
...Redbuds are beautiful, but we will have to wait to see them in bloom.
Thanks Jim for stopping by, take care and stay safe.

I've never been to Killarney, or Ireland, looks so pretty there. It would be a great place to visit, but I don't see myself traveling many places that require me to get aboard a plane, anytime soon. We are hoping that we will be able to do more traveling this summer by car, though. Hubby and I both, had our first vaccine, and the second one will be in a few weeks. Great "K" photos, Jim. Have a great weekend!

I collapsed in February on the North Pier and was hospitalised, home again under treatment adn more tests until they get to the bottom of things. K for KIND Everyone has been SO KIND to me as I am not allowed to drive for at least 6 months and with no family in this country, find this very challenging! Love the blossom tree Jim. I also have KISSED the Blarney s tone when I was about 17 years old! Have a great weekend and stay safe.

I was born in Ireland so have been there many times. I have never kissed the Blarney Stone but John has. One of those been there, done that moments.
Craziest accident was on the Big Island of Hawaii, when a tree came down and blocked the road so we got to stay overnight at the military base. The ranger who rescued us was the best!
