Of course, we had to enjoy a lobster dinner. Taken at one of the "lobster pounds" near Bar Harbor, Maine.

Maui, 2007, Chinese New Year. We joined a happy group at a local restaurant, had a great dinner, and then were entertained by some youth lion dancers. This woman is "feeding the lion", passing in money for good luck for the new year. The proceeds went to the youth organization.

Taken at our in-laws during a visit. We brought our big Costco bear, and the family supplied theirs. This was a "meeting" but no one kept notes, and there does not appear to have been an agenda. (The little guy was supposed to be the Secretary.) Image processed with GIMP.

We could view the work areas in the roundhouse at Steamtown, Scranton, Pennsylvania, but mostly from above on a catwalk. Below, there were areas of active restoration for historic locomotives and rolling stock. This work table stuck out, since it was crowded with tools, especially BIG ones for working on these large locomotives. Image processed with GIMP.

The public market at Parintins, Brazil. It was raining... Anyway, you can see the official, and less official tables in use to show off their wares. Image processed with GIMP.

T-shirt seller in Parintins, Brazil. He is also the artist, and we were very impressed with the images he created. We still wear these shirts, purchased in 2008. This enterprising man set up an impromptu table at the port of Parintins, and our cruise ship was happy to supply buyers. Image processed with GIMP.

During our South America cruise in 2008, the cruise line went out of their way to have "special" nights in the main dining room. Each time, all new decorations were put up. Certainly made for a festive evening. This table is decorated for "Oscars Night". We were at sea when Hollywood had its special night. Image processed with GIMP.

Rather than a dinner table, this is a WORK table. These volunteers are using blenders to crush up flower petals and other botanicals. For dinner? Nope, to use as float decoration for the Pasadena Rose Parade. The rules of the Parade competition require that all of the float decoration be natural plant products. During our visit to this float preparation facility, we helped glue pistachio shells to a small part of one float. The amount of manual work required is astounding! Should you happen to attend, or just watch the Rose Parade on TV, keep in mind the army of volunteers who do these types of jobs, usually in the last 48 hours before the Parade.

We attended the RV rally at the Winnebago factory for several years. The social and educational events took place under big tents, like this one. In this case, the people are getting ready to play Bingo (serious business!). Naturally, when playing Bingo, you need to have tables. This was our first Winnebago rally, 2010.

We enjoyed our visit to Brugge, Belgium. We stopped at Cambrinus, which is a major beer cafe. This is their "house beer". Certainly made our walk through town much easier. Happy Table Tuesday, adds this, along with Tilley hat and beer. Hopefully a very nice combination!

One of the public area inside the Opera House. The tables were part of a cafe located there. The sweep of the architectural design was quite interesting. It shows some "lines and planes" (at least the lines anyway, maybe a few planes) for the Sunday Challenge. This was taken with my (new in 2016) Panasonic GX85. Very happy with it.
