(A) Starts with the Letter "J":   Today my "J" is for all the "Jams" and "Jellies" of the world.  How many Jars might that be? 



My Jars of Jam are lined up for a taste test.  I know the result before we start, do you?  Left to right, Walmart, Aldi, and La Madeleine

(B) "Jewel" (Tom's Choice):   Do Quartz Watches have Jewels?  Dunno.  So I asked google.  Google said, "
Some quartz watches do have jewels in its movement to reduce friction. These watches are generally of a higher quality than watches without jewels and are designed to last longer which subsequently making it costing more money. The use of jewels in a quartz watch has its merits and advantages Jul 6, 2019"

(C) A FavoriteMy Favorite Jack-in-the-box restaurant.  This ] was our first breakfast after our marriage the day before, on February 1973.  We had honeymooned in San Antonio, Texas, and this Jack was across the street.  Note that there was no drive in service.  Our hotel was on the famed Riverwalk.  (Our honeymoon breakfast plus link) (San Antonio [Texas] Riverwalk link)

The Bride and Groom

She is my love, I carry her picture
For forty-eight years the Lord has been true

That day so long ago I made my vow
To have and to hold, to cherish and love 

She was naïve, tender, and oh so sweet
She loved me too, she'd love, honor, obey 

We've kept those vows--our love has grown still more
I'd do it again, I know she would too

  8. Great post! In February of 1973 I lived near a Jack in the Box in Orange, California but it looked very different. It was shaped like a box and had a clown head as a drive-thru speaker. I turned six that month so it was very impressive. :-)
