SKYWATCH--the pot bearer



There were several of these statues in Kirkland, Washington, and I found them really attractive.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"O" is for "Oh, my gosh!"


"Oh, my gosh!" is exactly what I said upon spying these remakes of a vintage plaid lunchbox I carried in grades three, four, and five.  I think a new one each year, since either the fastener loosened and my lunch fell out or else the (smaller than the big one shown) thermos cracked.

I dearly loved these lunchboxes....I can still smell the Lebanon bologna sandwiches with French's mustard (all on white  bread, of course....) that my grandmother packed for me.

If you want to see the originals, have a look at this lady's blog.

Twinsicle


Ah, Twinsicles...the summer treat of  my youth. Twinsicles left their color on your tongue, and on your friend's tongue,  if you were generous enough to split it.

This large Twinsicle stands on Seattle's 3rd Avenue.....summer may be just around the corner, but so far, it's been cold enough to keep this big boy frozen or almost.  ;)

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--no such tartan


I actually made a Google search to see if this wild tartan existed, but could find no such clan that wore this plaid.

This fellow seems happy in it, though.

THEME DAY: SOFT

These traditional Serbian plum dumplings are indeed soft and flavorful. Grandma made them from scratch, but I fell for the frozen ones that ...
