Today I join my niece Rosy and her bros for
We have a plethora ($10 word for bunch) of photos mom has been stock piling
First and foremost Me. I'm quite observant. One day last weekend........
The photos below were taken at 3 different shopping centers:
Cameron Village, Logan's Trading Post and Crabtree Valley
Mom loved the sun coming thru this Elephant ear plant
OMCs this field of posies sprouted some stone pillars...aka yard art.
Look at the huge variety of ornamental peppers...
The peeps were walking over to Ace Hardware when this vintage beauty was parking.
Photos taken with Mom's Smart(er than her)phone. In hindsight she realized she should have
turned the phone horizontally for the 2nd photo
The Jeep FJ Fleetvan was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1975.[1] It was based on the DJ-3A Dispatcher, but equipped with the F-134 Hurricane engine. Two models were available, the FJ-3 and the longer FJ-3A. It came standard with the familiar Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual transmission. A Borg-Warner automatic was offered as an option. Right-hand-drive FJ-3s were made for the U. S. Postal Service. Most of these had horizontal grille slats in contrast to the seven vertical slats found on standard models.
An FJ-6 model (based on the CJ-6) was introduced in 1965 for postal use, which was ultimately replaced by the FJ-8 & FJ-9 introduced in 1975.

ReplyDeleteDid you get a new chair, Madi? Those ornamental peppers are very pretty, and Mom thinks she might be able to keep them alive, ha, ha, ha. Lucy
ReplyDeleteThat old truck looks kind of like the milk truck that used to come around twice a week to Oma's house when ghostwriter was growing up.

Beautiful flowers, Madi, and that is one very impressive Elephant Ear!!! We are beginning to see some hints of fall popping up in our house too. We hope those decorations can give a hint to Mother Nature that it is time to turn off the endless rain and bring on some sunny, cooler days.
