My wife and I celebrated our 33rd last night.
We are not "fancy people", our evening consisted of dinner at one of our local BBQ restaurants and going to a local high school football game. My wife is a high-up-muckety-muck in the school district, so we go to a lot of school events together in the evenings. But of course the football season is my favorite! But since it was such an occasion, I had a 'fancy' knife on me to celebrate in style...

Congratulations to you and the missus John, that sounds like a grand evening out my friend

Textile Cone & Tiger Cowrie. Modoc ED thanks for the idea.
@Bugs57 - I was stationed at NAVSECGRUDEPT/NAVCOMSTA Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean from April 1974 through April 1975 and did quite a bit of shelling. Here is one box of many boxes of shells that I have.

Since Diego Garcia had seen very little shelling, when I returned to NAVSECSTA in Washington, D.C., I took a sampling of 50 various shells to the Smithsonian, Museum of Natural History and gave them to the museum. They were happy to get them and I had an interesting talk with a couple of the curators there.
Great pics fellers


Good morning, Guardians!

Started the day with some spice. Also, Whataburger sausage and garlic cheese grits.
Looks like a good start to the day Vince

Lovely oldie Harvey, and a cool pic


Hope everyone is having a great day





There was a food festival on, and I picked up some nice bread, including a couple of types of focaccia, though it was actually made in Leeds
