Scavenger Hunt Sunday - Quirky


 Some of you may find this whole post a little on the "Quirky" side.  I prefer to think of it as thinking outside the box...maybe a little too far outside the box.

Make Mine A ...
Rose

Like many people, my favorite flower is a rose.  You get a beautiful flower and and a wonderful aroma all in the same package.  This salmon colored rose was my mother's favorite color.  My dad grew them especially for her.  This rose is grown from a cutting off of one of the plants that was in their flower bed in Tulsa.
 
Quirky 
 
A local farm and home store had these two banners displayed.  I found them to be a little quirky.  Really...who would sell "Dead Plants"?  Maybe Chick Days is for guys who couldn't get a date to the prom...that would be a little on the quirky side.
 
Morning Ritual 


 
My morning ritual almost always includes coffee from this mug.  I was at a business convention in Las Vegas in 2005 when I bought this mug as my souvenir.  I used it daily at the office until I retired last year.  It's become a bit of an icon associated with me.
 
What Were They Thinking... 




Recently a locally hardware store/lumber yard burned to the ground, in the middle of the night.  One has to wonder, what was the business owner thinking when they got that call at 2:00 a.m. telling them that their business was on fire.  By the time they arrived, the hardware store component of the business was already a lost cause.  It cannot be a good feeling.  They have vowed to rebuild.

What's in Your... 
Tackle Box
 
Fishing is one of my two favorite hobbies.  This is the contents of my "small" tackle box.  I use this when I am fishing for panfish (crappie, bluegill, perch).  I have a larger tackle bag with my bass lures in it and I have two or three other tackle bags with surplus equipment.  It's is bit of an obsession.  No, no, no, it's a hobby.  It's a serious hobby...seriously.
 
Well that's it for my Scavenger Hunt Sunday,  Quirky Edition.  Have a blessed week.
