PhotoHunt - Funny signs

I spotted these humorous signs in a window during my hunt for pictures on November 6. The one above reminded me of Bob Hope in the movie "Son of Paleface".

My World - First Saturday

On the first Saturday in December, the City of Frederick was decorated in festive lights.



The trolley was running for those who wanted a bit of nostalgia (or a quicker trip on this cold night)!

The shops are full of holiday decorations and gifts. And we are invited back for more on the next two Saturdays.

PhotoHunt - Hard to find

Have you ever needed to replace one of these and the trip lever inside the tank? A couple of months ago, our original lever (plastic) broke, meaning the toilet would not flush. I could not find an exact replacement, so I bought this one with a brass rod that I bent to fit. It works properly sometimes, but often will not let the flapper valve close so the water keeps on running. This week I have been on a mission to locate a hard to find replacement that works. Thought I had one Friday, but not quite a fit, so the search continues.

Sky Watch - South Carolina skies

The skies in South Carolina last Saturday were clear. The first two shots were shortly after sunrise. The next two were mid-morning, and the last as the sun set with a golden glow in the sky.
