Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Rain on and off today, but did get a quick trip to the park.   Todays photo

Beautiful, Jack, and fantastic job with the frame & text!  Is that your phone or Panasonic?  You still have a pocket one plus the one with long zoom?

jackwv

Shirley that was with the Panasonic 200.   Take it along in the car but usually just use the iPhone.

Mary Ann, in answer to your question about sinkholesâ€"-those particular sinkholes were about 8 miles from where we lived in Ocala.  However, a house about a block away from where we lived had to have their house foundation treated.  They bring in trucks of grout and insert it around the foundation.  A friend of mine also had that done when her house started to shift.  Later she also had a sinkhole open in her backyard.  Central Florida has limestone under the soil and it can collapse due to a lot of rain after a drought.  Thank goodness where we live now doesn’t seem prone to sinkholes.

Mary Ann

Thanks, Jean, I'll bet when sinkholes around Ocala are mentioned, you investigate right away.  We would drive past Ocala when we'd drive on I-75 to and from Norm's.  That's quite a process to fix the foundations.  I'm glad you don't have sinkholes near you now.

My son came back from a long week-end in Warsaw and sent me great pictures that I will share with you, so we can all continue to armchair-travel around the world.

Thanks Bubble, another spot with lots of history and  beauty.

Thank you Bubble and thank your son for sharing these photos with us! Poland and Warsaw have had such a sometimes, violent, very often sad history that it is nice to see peaceful, beautiful photos today.

FlaJean

Enjoyed the photos,  Bubbles.

Mary Ann

I enjoyed the pictures, Bubble.  We don't often see pictures of Poland.

Posted several short clips of Mimi in the slide show discussion.  I often will stop and ask those taking selfies, if they would like me to take a photo, with more background.   I did today and they wanted to take mine. I seldom keep, do not like photos of myself, but this one was ok.

That's a great picture, Jack, both of you look so happy!

MaryAnn and Gloria thanks, she keeps the smile on my face.

Joy

Jack, that is a great picture of you, and of course, you friend beside you.    Better than just "okay",   You need to make that your avatar !!!


Bubble, nice pictures of Poland !  Like Mary Ann said, don't get to see many pictures of places in Poland.   The picture of Marie Curie is especially different. 

Always some kind of interesting history can be found here.

BIG BOX

Joy I was watching hockey, sorry to say the Penguins lost.   Like your idea and now have a new avatar.

Shirley

I gotta say, Jack, you look younger in that avatar than the first you ever posted!  It shows that the girl next to you keeps you both smiling.

Bubble, do you have more than one son?  He really has a sense of "what is different" from what most of us see everyday.  Just what is that sign that looks like a squirrel riding a bike with small wheels?  I've never seen any like it in any photos ...anywhere. Thank him for bringing these places to life for us, please, a treat for me, for sure.

Don, long ago a neighbor was telling about raising a nest of crows that eventually were turned free to roam the neighborhood where they lived before.  She was a good story teller & had funny tales about the crows begging and visiting with everyone. They are very smart birds.  Some years ago we had lots of Canadian Geese wintering along the river & would come up behind our fence to beg.  I watched a crow pester the geese until they got disgusted & would fly off.  He would hop on a goose back & ride, get off & hop back on again until the goose would leave.  Then it would pick on another. Back in video camera days that didn't have zoom so no photos or video of it. Had one crow that sounded like it was gargling all the time.... same crow as far as I know, only here one winter.  Will you be going to that same spot again.... take some peanuts or something to see if it is tame.  Well, I would.....  :-[

Bedtime in Kansas.  Sweet dreams to all.........Shirley

The Polish writing says: 'Does not apply to municipal services and bicycles'.
But the sign is forbidding bicycles...

Shirley

Thanks, Bubble..... I'm afraid it would still confuse me!  Bicycles or not....... I do see a couple people on bicycles on the other side of the street, so maybe just the one side?  Don't suppose I'll ever be wanting to ride there but always curious.  ::)  I love how countries seem so close to each other that in my mind are not (as Israel to Poland), but miles & time to travel.... we have more distance between west & east coasts, I think.  All in how we think, huh?  Wish you were closer & not "over the water".... where I go the cats must go.

angelface555

Perhaps it is forbiding folks riding bicycles on the sidewalk but not on the road?

FlaJean

Love your new avatar, Jack.

Jack...
...that is a very natural and relaxed photo of the both of you..

Bubble...
... Warsaw, here I come, well once I get comfortable in my office chair... :thumbup:
...why is there a squirrel riding a bike? where it says..." No applies to city and bicycle services..."
" There is no present like the time "

jackwv

The squirrel sign reminded me of the woman complaining about the placement of deer crossing signs, believe she was serious.  Give a listen.

...guess that's the only spot where the Deer can actually read the sign... ;D

What I'd like to know is...How on earth did those radio people keep from laughing out loud?

...I am guessing, if the Deer can read, anything is possible... ;D

Finally got some photos of the fish, couldn't get all of them in the picture, at least a dozen show
but they keep moving so fast it's hard to focus & throw bread at the same time.  I talk to them
the whole time, they recognize the whistle & my voice, I think.
