Thursday Portrait.......

I had a hankerin for some Home-Baked Bread today.

It tasted great, and the house smelled Grand.

But I think I should have kneaded it longer..

Oh well, practice makes perfect...

Peace...!!!

Retro-Wednesday........

In my opinion, the greatest 2 person card game is Cribbage!

I have a 1951 Drueke double trip Cribbage Board, I've had this as long as I can remember.

I also own a 1967 Pacific Game Company continuous track single trip board.

The top 2 pics were taken off of E-Bay. Some of the Drueke boards sell for as much as 299.00 Dollars. Of course mine are in the original box...And will NEVER be sold..

Fifteen-Two, Fifteen-Four, Fifteen-Six, a Pair is Eight, and Nibs makes Nine!!!

God I love this game...

Peace...!!!

What a Difference a Day Makes.....

Remember yesterday's post when it was just snow flurrying a bit?

The top pic is what I woke up to this morning.

I had dreaded coming into work today because our lot guy has gone deer-hunting for a week and that means that us burly sales staff sales people must go out and scrape and clean off all of the cars. But much to my glee, the town of Fenton where I work is only 20 miles south of Flint, and they were spared any accumilation!! Yay!!!!

It is a Happy Monday....

Peace...!!!

Doo Doo Doo, Lookin' Out my, Back Door.....

I don't feel much like being too thought provoking today, so here's a shot out my Back Door, and A shot out my Front Door...Either way it's Brrrrrrrrrrr Time.

I hope you all have a Great Week...

Peace...!!!

Friday Flash 55........

Pink or White, Yellow or Red.
Given in celebration, laid on the dead.
But You!!
My cold and lonely sentinel.
Persevering majestically through the wind,
the rain, the heat, the frost.
Your thorny daggers staunchly defend at all cost.
You are beautifully alert, protecting your yard.
THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER...
Still standing guard!!!
.
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55, please come tell the G-Man. I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then Book!!! So from the most gracious host from coast to coast, Have a Great Week-End!!!!!
Peace...!!!
