Quiz Photos

A.


B.

C.
 Oh, darn.  Wouldn't you know, Viewer Dear.  I lost the photo  (Stella  was a dog, yes).  So, you've got one free point!  I'll just give it to you, because, without a doubt, you are unable to determine  the proper photo to which the caption applies if no photo exits!  It just makes sense (unlike most of life)!

D. 











 
That's it:  Match number to letter.  Dear Reader-slash-Viewer, you are so intelligent [not to mention, it's so darn easy!])

Alas, there is no Grand Prize.  Only the satisfaction of continued quasi-entertaining posts.  Or not.

Viewer Dear, today was

such a beautiful day!  So warm!  So sunny!  So imperative that I go to the park and take a walk.  As I drove the short distance to the park, I pondered how many others would be taking advantage of the marvelous weather.   When I arrived, I could see there were quite a few!  There were enough to make the trips around the looping trail interesting.  So, I took photos.

And then, Dear Reader, I devised this little quiz for you.  Below are listed four captions. They are all actual words spoken.  Should you wish to play, please match them to the four photos (or sets of photos) that I post tomorrow.

1. "C'mon Stella!"

2. "Jonathan, put on your ears!"

3. "They're Kevin and Ruth.  If you quack, they will look at you!"

4. "Giddyup!"

It is not a difficult quiz, Viewer Dear.  Not in the least.  You are, in fact, likely to utter a small snort and comment on the ease with which  you can accomplish a total of four correct answers.  Would that all of life's quizzes could be figured out with such ease!

Up!

Dear Viewer, this activity at which the Little Actor is so adept is much more difficult than it looks!  I tried it myself and realized that with age comes (wisdom, yes, but also) utter lack of skill for such scampering up a door frame!

My Only Son is

now "over the hill"!  The chocolate cake at the birthday party bore those jarring words!

 

Fortunately for me, Dear Reader, there were lots of pleasing persons and delightful details of the party to ease my accompanying trip--my second trip "over the hill" as it were, tagging along with Only Son, my old bones creaking!

There was the party-thrower (Only Son's wife), and Matt, the friend who cooked up some terrific pulled pork, braised greens! There was Matt's wife, Alexis, who was faithful to the Big Lebowski theme of the party, and competently took care of many party details (she does it in real life, as a career [how handy is that?!]) 
There was deja vu, Reader Dear, seeing all those once-teen-aged friends of Only Son (now traveling "the hill" en masse!) with their ( naturally following) spouses and kiddos in tow!  It was such a highlight for me!


 
!There was much eating and drinking, lots of loud talking and laughing, many spills, and one little bout of singing.* Altogether, I had a marvelous time re-traipsing"the hill."
(I do believe, Reader Dear, it's gotten smaller!)
.....................................................................
*You know, that song they always sing at birthday parties.
There was the movie-watching, too.  But
that was hours after kiddos and
all the long-past-the-hill folk had left the party!
