It's Friday Fragments Day!

Welcome to Friday Fragments!  This is the place where we're able to put little snippets of fun or interesting things together without having to stretch that idea into an entire blog post.

Mrs. 4444 is our lovely host and I am so grateful for her continued hosting of this fun carnival.  For more Friday Fragment finds, please head on over to Half-Past Kissin' Time.  Thanks!

I found a piece of paper that I cut out in 2008 about Benny's Sandwich Shop and Gifts in downtown Jacksonville.  The one paragraph mentions that it's been open for over 20 years without a street level sign.  You see this restaurant is in an underground tunnel.  I thought it was cool enough 3 years ago, but my memory is short and my organizational skills are so lacking that I have never gone.  Now I have the cutout on my fridge.  Let's hope I get there soon!

In Feb the Car Show came to town and I fell head over heels for Jeep Patriot.  I had a Jeep Cherokee that I loved dearly and I ran that poor vehicle into the scrapyard.  I have a Hyundai Santa Fe right now and I love it, too, but it's got 94K miles on it and if it goes over the magic 100K number the resale falls off dramatically.  I mentioned to my husband tonight at dinner that I was thinking about renting a car for my upcoming road trip in July and he immediately said, "Maybe it's time to go buy a car.  Do you want to run over to the Jeep dealer while we are out and about?"

So we spent several hours at the Jeep dealer.  They have a real hard time letting people go when they know that a sale is going to go do a local dealer - and they of course want me to buy from them!

Funny thing.  If they had had a Patriot in a fun color I would have shaken their hands and signed on the dotted line.  The only colors they had available were black, red, white, gray and silver.

I just may buy another car from another manufacturer because of the color of the car.

I do know that I could just get the car painted, but it's just not the same.

How long should I cook this?
15 min
Did they tell you at the restaurant how long to cook it?
No
Then how did you know?
It just looks like it would take 15 minutes.
Well, I'm cooking it for 12.
*12 minutes goes by*
It's still not hot, I'll cook it for 3 more minutes.
*I smiled*
*a few minuts goes by and he's had a bite or two*
Is  it hot?
Of course it is, I baked it for 15 minutes.

The photos are the various stages of the Agapanthus flower, aka Lily of the Nile.  The Photo of the Day (POTD) yesterday was this flower in bloom.

As seen on Facebook...
After visiting several antique stores and flea markets today, I think I came to a realization. Seeing as how all the pieces I really liked weren't for sale since they were for displaying stuff on, my personal style must be "flea market booth space".

Thanks so much for joining me!  It's been a joy having you.
