Ruby Tuesday

It's been a while since I participated in any blog or photo memes so I thought I would try to ease back into it.  What a better one to start with than Ruby Tuesday.

Earlier this month on the 9th, I took a tour of the Polaris Experience Center in Roseau, MN.  It's basically a little tourist shop and museum of Polaris memorabilia.  The building was an old creamery that they converted into a couple different shops and restaurant.

BTW, I used to work for Polaris in both the manufacturing plant and plastic injection molding plant.  Great place to work and visit :) 

Below is the second machine Polaris manufactured in 1956 (model Sno-Cat)

This one was built in 1963 (model L60).

This was 1970 (model X2)  which was built to beat the record for speed on snow.

More next week...hopefully.

Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Teach over at Work of The Poet.  The basic premise is to post a picture (your own) with either a little red or a lot of red.


I thought I would jump back into posting on a few memes this week.  I recently though I was back in the zone for bloggind, but was sadly mistaken.  Hopefully, I get past the intention stage this time :)

Nothing fancy about the picture I choose this week.  My poor son had a terrible time last night during our Scrabble games.  He kept getting stuck with vowels.  Amazingly he still won 2 of the 3 games we played. 

It's funny.  I suggested playing Scrabble over a week ago.  My son balked and groaned.  Basically he behaved like a typical teenage boy who did not want to entertain his mother.  I said, "We will play soon."  I brought the game out, set it on the living room table, and basically forgot about it.  Tonight he cleared the table, set up the game and insisted on playing tonight. It was a fun 4 hours.  We even managed to cook dinner and make Kool-Aid with lots of laughter and fun throughout the night.

We have pulled out the Sequence game which is brand new.  We played it years ago at a friend's house, and she bought it for my son.  For some reason, it was never opened.  We sort of lost interest in games for a while.  We'll be playing that tomorrow later today or tomorrow.  I may even be able to get mom to join us. She won't play Scrabble. 

Now if I could just find the Skipbo cards.  They have gone missing which is weird as I tend to keep those things very handy :)

Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Teach over at Work of The Poet.  The basic premise is to post a picture (your own) with either a little red or a lot of red.  This week The Teach has requested we post a picture with a little red in it.

This is yet another flower picture from my visit to the Como Zoo and Conservatory this past June.  I truly loved visiting that place. If I had known it was so spectacular, I would have stopped every summer after my annual camping trip.  It's not like it's out of my way or expensive (free-will offering).

Ruby Tuesday

Every Tuesday, The Teach from Work of the Poet hosts Ruby Tuesday.  A fun meme that asks you to post a photo (your own) with a little red or a lot of red in it.

 

This is another photo that I took while visiting the Como Zoo and Conservatory last June.  Hope you enjoy it.  

Thank you for visiting!  If you leave a comment, I will try to visit your blog soon.  I am still playing catch-up after my bout with vertigo.

Please stop by Work of the Poet to find more participants.

Ruby Tuesday and Opening Doors

 

I am not sure if this is a city building or the caretaker's shed for the nearby cemetary.

Ruby Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Mary over at the Work of the Poet.

Opening Doors is a week long meme hosted by jientje over at Heaven in Belgium. 

Thank you for visiting.  Sorry I'm late in posting for today :)

Bridging the Gap #3 and Ruby Tuesday #4

Here's is another installment of Bridging The Gap hosted by I Was Born2Cree8 along with Ruby Tuesday which is hosted by Work of the Poet.

First is Bridging the Gap. I was hoping to use the same photos for each meme.  Problem is I later realized the bridge was brown not red.  BUMMER!

 

There are actually 2 bridges here.

  

  

    Now on to Ruby Tuesday.  

 These veteran memorials are both located in East Grand Forks, MN.  The first honors veterans from all wars and the second is in honor of those Missing In Action. 

  

  

  

 

  

Thank you for visiting.  Please be sure to stop by I Was Born2Cree8 and Work of the Poet for more participants in each meme.

Ruby Tuesday #3

I took these pictures at the Irvine Park Zoo down in Chippewa Falls, WI this summer. The pictures are take just a few seconds apart. I was squatting down and taking pictures through a chain link fence. Luckily, I was able to get back up :)

My mom thinks this is an UGLY rooster. I kinda like him.

Ruby Tuesday is hosted by Work of the Poet. Just post a picture with a little or a lot red in it, head on over there to see some other participants and let them know about your contribution. Lots of cool pictures are posted each week.

Ruby Tuesday #2

Cafesjian's Carousel is located at Como Park in St. Paul, MN.  I took these pictures last June while on vacation.  The carousel has 68 horses and was built in 1914.  It was rescued at auction in 1988 and restored.

Thank you for stopping by my second contribution.  Ruby Tuesday is hosted by Work of the Poet.  Stop by there to see more participants.

Ruby Tuesday #1

Ruby Tuesday is hosted by The Teach over at Work of the Poet.  I found out about it from Quilly at Quilly's Pacific...Paridise?  I thought it would be fun to try to do.  One simply has to post a picture with red in it.  From what I gather it doesn't have to be a lot of red, but it does have to be a picture taken by me.  

I'll start with a little red along with a beautiful butterfly.  This was taken at the Como Zoo in St. Paul, MN this past June.   The Butterfly tent was amazing.  I wish I had been able to stay longer.  

  

Here's one with a lot of red.  This was also taken at Como.  I was in the Sunken Garden at the Conservatory.  If you ever get a chance to go, do.  It's lovely :)

 

Thank you for stopping by and thank you to Work of the Poet for hosting :)
