Monday /Tuesday post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine went by too quickly. I went out for a meal with Heike - in Pizzeria Roma again - and as usual, it was delicious. And the weather was on our side, too, and we were able to sit outside, which is always especially good for people watching!  And as a bonus, my portion was so large that I could take half of it home to enjoy today!

Today I have another piece for Halle's challenge at AJJ:


And a few funnies, David Zinn's and photos:

Who has a good caption for this one?


Have a great week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  6. As for the caption for the Bee-eaters, how about, “If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times and you still don’t listen.” You told us that you had enough food to take home from the restaurant but you didn’t tell us what it was. Since you ate at a pizzeria I am assuming that it was pizza, but what were the toppings? I bet that Heike had the deluxe supreme, with triple cheese, now that her renown is spreading around the world, having had a bird named after here. She is a star, a bona fide celebrity. The paparazzi will be chasing her, seeking pictures, hanging on her every word. Be sure to tell her to wear appropriate clothes. No high fashion stuff, camouflage pants, sturdy boots and safari hats - that kind of thing. And she would do well to become vegetarian too to make a statement. In any event, it’s good to see the two of you and about again, living the good life along the Rhine. Hugs and kisses - David

    1. It's called a Pizzeria, but they do all Italian food, and it's always delicious! Heike hat a huge anti pasta plateful and I had lovely gnocchi with spinach and cheese sauce. I think neither of us will be wearing boots or camouflage clothes, but we got our cappuccino on the house.....we are special people.....yes, it's good that we can get out and about again! Have a lovely week, hugs!xxxxxxxx

  21. I've gotten behind, so I apologize for being a day late. Those are great dress forms, and you used them well to make a great page for Halle's challenge. I'm glad you had a yummy meal out too. I had to laugh at the messy house meme. That must mean I'm really really smart-ha ha. I'm off to read your next post, and I hope you had a great Monday and Tuesday. hugs-Erika

  22. Love this entry for AJJ this week. I love dress forms and these are some of the best I have seen, all put together to make a pleasing picture. Great colour choice too, it really works well
    Lovely selection of photos and great thinkies and funnies- the tree is a bit creepy.
    "If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times, Get out of my hair and off my branch!" - oh I bet there are lots of ideas for the two birds. Brilliant picture.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    1. Yes, that could be what that bird is saying. It reminds me of my auntie when she was flattening her husband with a string of hard words! Hugs!
