Porker’s Barbeque – Snapshot of the Day, No. 243

One of our photographers has a birthday this week, so several of us (not these people) met at Porker’s Barbeque today for lunch to celebrate. I’m not much on barbecue, so I settled for a grilled chicken sandwich – which was delicious, by the way. Anyway, the interior has an old-world feel to it, soContinue reading “Porker’s Barbeque – Snapshot of the Day, No. 243”

Last Bite – Snapshot of the Day, No. 235

We at dinner at Big River again tonight with Joe’s parents. They had just gotten back in town from California, so they were tired and hungry. We all split this chocolate dessert, but Joe and I kept pushing the last bite back and forth: “You eat it!” “No, YOU eat it.” As if one moreContinue reading “Last Bite – Snapshot of the Day, No. 235”

Summer Peppers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 210

I got home late and it was raining, so I grabbed some of our peppers we grew this summer and shot them. We were pretty successful with our little garden: we had tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno  peppers, basil and other herbs. Oh, and our berry bushes. It was fun, and they tasted better than store-bought.

Not at Jack’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 209

This scene is actually not at Jack’s Army Store. It’s at Sticky Fingers. I guess it used to be Jack’s Army Store. But this IS in an area called Jacks’s Alley. Joe and I were walking through after our baseball-viewing plans got dashed when the game got – are you ready for this? Rained out.Continue reading “Not at Jack’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 209”

Champy’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 206

We had lunch at Champy’s today. Joe showed up at work and we drove the half block to the restaurant on the spur of the moment. We ran into a couple of his friends, so we all sat down and ate together. It rained all day – again. Man, we have been gypped out ofContinue reading “Champy’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 206”

Shirt Service – Snapshot of the Day, No. 200

I did a U-turn today to get this shot. The only problem was I did it right in front of a police officer. GREAT! Fortunately he did not seem to care, so my 34-year driving record remains ticket-free. At any rate, this illustration struck me as very interesting since she resembles me a bit. And IContinue reading “Shirt Service – Snapshot of the Day, No. 200”

Lunch counter – Snapshot of the Day, No. 199

My father and I had lunch together today in our usual spot – Nikki’s. It’s a greasy-spoon that serves burgers and bottled Cokes. Among other things. Oh, and they profess to serve the world’s best onion rings. If they’re not the best, they are pretty close.

Cherry Pickin’ – Snapshot of the Day, No. 197

I have a Cherry Tree in the front yard of my old house, and I picked all of these up off of the ground there yesterday. ( I still own the house, so I was not stealing) I brought these outside right after a thunderstorm today, and the bowl instantly fogged up due to theContinue reading “Cherry Pickin’ – Snapshot of the Day, No. 197”
