I am not doing project 365 this year--didnt finish it last year I ended up with project 185.5. but I really did enjoy it. but I will be posting some photos occasionally.

I took this one in the last summer. I had to go to the Post Office--not something I do often. While there I was struck by the old post office boxes still in use. They are pretty cool

3.18.09 Dinner at the lake

Today was a beautiful day- sunny and warm. Tonight Mark and i took our take out Mickey D's to the lake for dinner. We ate a picnic table in the sun and the wind and the outdoors. These were our dinner companions. we enjoyed them so much. it was a lot of fun even taking pictures of the lake and the sun and the birds. ---now the fish sandwich i had left a lot to desire...it was not near as good as i remembered. The picture with the big stacks is the TVA fossil plant looming over Roane County High School. In reality there is a lot of distance between them... i just had never paid attention to it from this angle before.

Our other dining companion was this loan sail boarder out in the lake.... he really looked like he was having a good time. Apparently the wind was perfect for what he was doing because he was out there for as long as we were and still there when we left for church

Memories of Handee Burger

my POTD is fraught with memories--- the sign that says Handee Burger is the POTD-- the menu sign is just as supporting player.
Handee Burger is a little burger place in Kingston. I can see by the sign that they now sell all kinds of other things---but my memory is tied to the little Handee Burger. They are/were the same size and shape as a Krystal burger and taste pretty much the same.
I swear that when Katie was little Handee Burgers are the only thing that kept her alive. When she wouldn't eat anything else--and she was a picky eater she would eat a Handee Burger. We didn't have a Krystal anywhere near here at the time---nearest was probably about 30 miles away.
At the time we could get 3 Handee Burger's for $1 and sometimes that is all I had. She would get a little burger or two as a treat when she got out of school sometimes, or when she was getting ready to go to piano or something.
Anyway-- Handee Burger's have played a big part in our lives for one thing or another.... and they were yummy as a bonus.

Sadiey

Sadiey is some better today. I stopped on the way home and bought some soft canned food for her. She seemed to enjoy eating it and ate about 1/2 can and kept it inside. We went to water aerobics again tonight and I am really really tired. Came home through town and that is the POTD ---good ole Kingston in the dark.
