Blue Monday: Laughs and Lust

Time for Blue Monday again, hosted by Smiling Sally. Click on the image to the right for more information on how to join and to see who else is playing along and posting bluesy greetings.

Yesterday I wrote about my recent girlfriends getaway in Vermilion Ohio. I saved a few pictures for today and am calling them laughs and lust.

One evening we ate at Quaker Steak and Lube. How's that for an unusual restaurant name? This is a chain of restaurants that we don't have in Michigan. One of their locations was very near to where my friends and I were staying. The homeowner had recommended the restaurant, and she was right. All four of us enjoyed our meal there. Outside of the restaurant was this photo opportunity board:

The four of us have been together at other locations that offered similar photo ops. There is a chicken in Frankenmuth MI, for example, where we stuck our heads through the sign and smiled for pictures.

One of my friends and I walked behind the sign to pose, but she got a crazy idea. She was laughing so hard, she had trouble explaining to me what she thought we should do.

She finally got the words out which caused me to collapse into giggles too. Soon we were able to take a deep breath and pose for our other friends who were waiting with their cameras.

I guess we were just a couple of boobs from Michigan. Here we are wearing blue. And laughing. A lot.

Now despite the anatomical parts displayed in that photo, the lust I mentioned had nothing to do with s-e-x. When I mention lust, it is probably fabric or yarn or ice cream in my thoughts, or in this case, Polish Stoneware. One of the shops we visited had more Polish Stoneware on display than I've ever seen at one time.

Hard to believe, but I didn't buy anything. I have a few pieces at home that I really enjoy, but I am running out of storage and display space. It sure was fun to look at all though. These are the pieces I own:
Happy Blue Monday everyone. May all your blues be beautiful and may you always have friends and family that you can be silly with. Laughter is wonderful.
