1. Starts with "O."  "Oklahoma" starts with the letter "O".  My Alma Mater team, the University of Houston, is playing football this morning at Oklahoma State College today.  We are now ahead, 24 to 10.

2. A Favorite.  " My "Old Car" is my Favotite car, it is 27 Years Old.  My regular car, fairly old, 2001, is broken beyond sensible repair.

3. O"ne -- 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States, "one" nation . . . 

And for your reading you could find my Beagle dog named "Adi" by searching her name.  Adi died in 2012. We were a registered Texas Pet Therapy Pair for many years, Alzheiimer's residents in the near assisted living facility were her favorite for visiting.

.  . .

Click on Photos for larger viewing size 

1. Starts with "M." -- Moneky starts with "M".  This Moneky was one of my childhood toys, he taught me the Multiplication Table before I could be taught in school. 

My father's aunt gave it to me.  Later my son gave me another that he found in an antique store. I didn't ask how much he paid. Oh yes, it is made of a painted metal that we call "Tin".

2. A Favorite.  Adi was my Favorite Mut. She and I were a registered Pet Therapy Pair and would help tutoring children to read, hence besides visiting Alzheimers residents at the local assisted living facility she became a reading dog. 

A comment from a blog carrying her walk with me:  

"I LOVE these photos of Adi especially that first one. What a cutie! I had a feeling she's a therapy dog. I first learned of them for helping those with hearing loss (instead of only the visually impaired) when I was obtaining my degrees in those fields. Go Adi!"   The blog:

3. Multiple -- We had Multiple Toadstools in our front yard.  I sacked them up for trash one evening when it wasn't so hot.  Not in the Mood for Mushroom soup then.
