Ruby Tuesday - Cupcakes



Ruby Tuesday 2 reappears and sweet treats are depicted on the walls...Patti and fellow blogger Linda went to a bakery in East Haven CT called Sugar Bakery and Sweet Shop whose business is cakes and cupcakes (I liked the S'mores cupcake that I had :). The always lovely Patti reviewed it here, and okayed my use of the photo. Linda liked it too! The ruby Red indicates a reason for special sugary cupcakes (as if we really need a reason....

Whimsical Windows - Stuffy service


Toby hosts the fun weekly meme, Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. In this, we look at portals of style, elegance or maybe even mirth.

This is the pâtisserie  La Petite France on Cape Cod. At the door, there is the stereotypical and stuffy maître d’hôtel, nose in air.

Earlier in the day, few people are out and parking is available and a worker in the lift 'bucket' truck is supervising roof repairs; the Sterling Opera House on the left majestic as ever. And, shadows are all over, especially on and under the awning–although the shade is less important now but welcome relief on a hot summer day. Never let a shadow escape our digital grasp in any season…

Tina's Pic Story - Finally

Tina's Pic Story is back. We post the pictures, she provides the weekly theme, which today is 'finally'.

At a summer gathering, the day is hot and the boys would like some relief from the heat. The sprinkler is finally turned on and finally, a cooling treat for the boys...

Ruby Tuesday 2 - Startup

Ruby Tuesday 2 is back! My entry is of many colors, yet the brightest is red. I turn the electronic key to start and this is what I see. As long as the lights turn off right after the ignition start, I am safe. 

If they stay on much longer, I fear an expensive fix for the Dodge. I however choose to remain an optimist!
