"S" ist fur..........



SPROUT !

I'd just bought a large bag of potatoes before the fever hit and they kinda got away from me. We go through quiet a lot of potatoes from just baked to boiled to those golden hashbrowns for breakfast.



You might recall I stuck a few potato "eyes' into a flower pot I had handy just for the heck of it and these are my sprouts thus far... as a "crop report."



"S" is also for Spain.. where a week is no where near long enough to take in all the beauty of it's beaches, resorts, museums, palaces, and cathedrals. Framed is a Spanish 2 pesetas banknote from the il-fated "Republic of Spain" of Ernest Hemingway's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls"

I am back to my Chauffeur Ronnie taking me to town. Having to use one of them motorized shopping carts is an embarrassment

Nice selection of pictures. I recall way back when I read Hemingway's book and enjoyed it so much. Those were the days!

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

They don't write books like that any more nor do authors take you away for new horizons.

I messed up and sold an old foreign money collection bought at auction along with a WW2 bayonet.
I often wish I had it all back, but it is too late now.
I still have a stamp collection that I have not looked at in years. This reminds me I should get it out and look through it again.

A double hit on my "S" ... I've already found my "T" too.

I kinda decorate the house with colorful old banknotes and coins.

I buy just a couple of potatoes at a time, and unfortunately I procrastinate using them until they are shriveled and sprouted.
