ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " C "



Last Friday was National CHEESECAKE Day.
Being the patriotic COUPLE that we are,
we did our CIVIC duty and went to the CHEESECAKE Factory restaurant and indulged.
Dave had Banana CREAM CHEESECAKE.
I had Fudgey CARAMEL Pecan yumminess.
I know the CALORIES COMSUMED were many
but I'm not COMPLAINING. It was so good!!



Dave and I love and have many COLLECTIBLES and antiques.
This guy is from my Royal COPLEY CERAMIC COLLECTION.
Jose is from the 1940's and still in great CONDITION.
He is actually a planter but I would hate to see leaves sprouting from his head.



When my Hubby and I feel COMPELLED to get away
we always CONSIDER Lake Tahoe.
CHIPMUNKS running around the CRACKS and CREVICES
of the granite boulders give us a welcome break
and a CHANCE to look at the nature there.
Isn't he CUTE?



I am CONFIDENT that if you would CONSIDER this for a while,
You'd figure out this picture.
You are looking down the CANNON barrel of a huge CANNON
that protected the entrance to the Golden Gate and San Francisco in the late 1800's.
Please make a CONSCIOUS effort to see what others have COMMUNICATED for ABC Wednesday by going to Mrs. Nesbitts link on my sidebar.

You're a clever and charming Cheesecake eater. I love cheesecake!!! All your photos arewonderful!

Beverly said...

How wonderful. If I had known it was National Cheesecake Day, I would have made an effort to do my civic duty too. I love your photos.

I'm in Virginia for the big number 4. I still am not up to par. I told David I felt like I had lost the last six months. At my age, I don't need to be losing any!

Anna said...

A cool post. Sounds as if you made a considerable sacrifice consuming those cheesecakes :)

Unknown said...

You pulled me in with that very first picture!! How could you not celebrate? You are a great citizen! Love the pictures this week. They are exquisite.

Wanda said...

I'm so glad you did your civic duty and went to the Cheesecake Factory. My only question, why wasn't I invited..((ha ha ha))

Love all your "C" contributions!!!!


I'll be posting mine in a few minutes.

Carol said...

A wonderful collection of Cs. You are indeed clever. Pass the cheesecake, please.

Cheryl said...

Why didn't you let me know about Nat'l Cheesecake Day? Why or why?

Besides feeling completely bereft of cheesecake, I love all your photo offerings this week.

Linda said...

Who knew about National Cheesecake Day? Wonderful collection of C words.

Paula said...

Great collection of photos, but I must admit it's the cheesecake that drew me in. Delicious shot!

Annelie said...

The cheesecake looks painfully good!

Hilary said...

I know there are a few more wonderful shots here (like that fantastice cannon view) but I'm still drooling over that first one.

Gayle said...

Well, thanks a lot - I just gained five pounds salivating at your cheesecake photos. :-)

MedaM said...

This is great collection of “C” words. Your photos are beautiful and interesting. The cake looks so yummy, the ceramic guy made me smile and a chipmunk is so cute.

MaR said...

An impressive and delightful collection for C! love the delicious introduction :)
ABC Wednesday: C

Dave said...

Mmmm, that cheesecake looked appetising. I also liked your other photos Sue - specially the cannon one. It looks great enlarged. - Dave

Mara said...

National cheesecake day! What a brilliant find. I might have to introduce something like that in my home...

MadSnapper said...

that cheese cake looks to die for yummy! i like the view down the cannon hole. of course cheese cake wins out over cannon holes

Gattina said...

What a nice choice of C's ! The cheesecake looks very yummy !

LisaF said...

Cheesecake? Did someone say Cheesecake? :-D Possibly my all time favorite dessert. Now I'm craving turtle cheesecake and it's 2 hours before lunch. I really like the canon shot. Very imaginative.

Joy said...

Banana cheesecake with, what else, bananas, yummy. However my favourite has to be the cute chipmunk, bet he would like some cheesecake.

Tumblewords: said...

I knew it was cheesecake day and did nothing. Missed my big chance. Great read and photos for the letter C - I think you're doing Jose a huge favor by not planting in his head!

Unknown said...

A lot of great C-words here! Wonderful post! Yummy cheese cakes! Wish I had some now! Love the chipmunks! And a nice tie-in with all the words and pictures.
Best wishes,
Anna
P.S. I've just made myself a follower of your blog. And I will try to put you on my special blogroll for 'Closet Swedes'! I have not forgotten!

Jay said...

Fun post! I love the puzzle at the end. I thought it might be a chimney, but it's a cannon!! I'd never have guessed.

The chipmunk is cute - and there's a crack in that rock!

Elaine Yim said...

Wow, so many Cs and what a delicious cake!

Carol said...

Great photos! Cheesecake is absolutely my favorite dessert, so how could I have missed National Cheesecake Day? I'm depressed.

Dani said...
