Scavenger Hunt Sunday – What are you having for Easter Dinner next week edition

Neglected

I found the remains of several rides from a carnival in a vacant lot in a residential area just south of downtown Tulsa. I have no idea what the story is but I doubt they will ever work again.

 Signs of Spring

Redbuds

I love tulips and daffodils but to me Spring is when the redbuds bloom.

 Last Thing You Bought

The world’s greatest MIL, Nana, gave me a smoker for my birthday. Of course, I got to go pick it out, bring it home and put it together. I got to do that twice this year. The first smoker I brought home from Lowe’s was all whopperjawed ( That’s a technical term that us engineers use, especially us Okie engineers.) So I pissanted it back to Lowe’s (another engineering term). Exchanged it for another one and pissanted it back home and put it together. Then I took the propane tank that I bought from Lowe’s and find out that the valve stem was twisted off, so back to Lowe’s and they gave me another tank. So I test fired it and burned off all the metal finishing chemicals (they stink big time.) I tell you what about Lowe’s they may sell crappy merchandise, but they cheerfully exchange the shoddy stuff for good stuff with no hassle.

So now we are discussing what should I smoke for Easter next weekend.

Well, my suggestion wasn’t well received so I guess we’ll do chicken quarters. I love chicken quarters but you know, something else would have been good also. And seriously, I like Lowe’s.

Shadow

At Son’s last Improv performance there were a couple segments with shadow puppets. I love shadow puppets. 

 Four Things

I used this photograph recently but hey, I’m in dire need of a Four Things photo so here it is. We had a family and friends celebration last weekend in western Oklahoma where we celebrated three birthdays and a military promotion. So we had three cakes and a pie. Of course, I’m special since I get 59 days of birthday this year.

    Your first picture is fly-tipping on a ginormous scale – wonder why the powers that be haven’t removed this rubbish? Love your story of the smoker, although I haven’t a clue why one needs something so big! I immediately thought it was a fancy pencil-sharpener with an extremely large container for the shavings.
    The traditional meal over here is lamb at Easter but when I attended the early family dinner last Friday we had lasagne and salad – which was just as good. No hard and fast rule re. what should, and should not, be consumed as long as it’s tasty and cooked by someone else.
    My most favourite picture is the shadow shot, followed by the birthday cakes. At your grand age, quite right that you should have 59 celebrations. It’s not often you “young’uns” can teach we oldies a thing or two but I’m happy to concede to your greater knowledge in all things age-concerned. I shall definitely insist on 80 celebratory days in November 🙂

    Love the old carnival equipment!
    Lamb would be good for Easter, we have no fixed rules but I’m thinking ham and lamb but need to come up with something for the vegetarians.
    Shadow puppets remind me of Xian in China where I first saw them
    Great choices!

    Funny and NOT so funny story of your ‘adventure’ at Lowes. Chuckling here. We’ve all experienced that frustration. Fuk it!

    Great shot for Neglected. It does make one wonder what happened and why the stuff was just dumped there.
    Oh my that is one big smoker and please say that sweet little lamb isn’t Easter dinner!
    Cool Shadow shot.
    Happy Birthday (albeit belated) but hope you have a great year. The cakes/pie look yummy.
