T Stands For Neighbors

 

I'd like to begin by wishing all my Canadian friends a very happy, although nearly belated, Thanksgiving.

Some of you were here last Friday when I mentioned the entire city of Wichita had a break in one of the main water pipes on Thursday.  As a result, we were instructed to boil water for at least a minute during the preparation of food, drink, or even to brush our teeth.  Those of us with pets also had to boil their water, unless, like me, I had just filled the "boys'" gallon container the night before.   

Saturday we were given the "all clear," but were instructed to run our water for 10-15 minutes before drinking or using it in food prep.  Not one to allow water to run down the drain, I thoroughly soaked my herbs and veggies for 18 minutes.  I wanted to be absolutely certain the old water was flushed from the system and my plants didn't mind at all, especially when I finished in the "mist" position. 

Today, however, we are out and about for T time.

One Sunday while my friend Joseph was in town, I ordered take-out at Neighbors.

 

At first, I thought there might be a "real" mural on the other side, but I wasn't that fortunate.

 

I was there to pick up an order I had called in.  I had no idea the interior was sports themed.  It was low light and was supposed to have a bit of ambiance.  Good for customers, not good for my camera.

 

Every sport imaginable was represented.

 

I started snapping photos before they could call my name to pick up my to-go order.

 

That must have been a really old Wichita State banner!

Our mascot, a shock of wheat, looks pretty wimpy in that banner.

Since I wasn't staying, I decided the coke with the chicken salad sandwich could be my drink for the day.  Of course, if you prefer beer, you could have a Miller High Life.

 

I liked how they pointed to the restrooms.

If I'd had more time, 

I would have inspected the back area.

Maybe you would prefer a coke with a burger.  Or perhaps you would like a Schlitz beer. 

 

Note the drinks people are enjoying at their tables, too.

 

Note the old golf bag and the croquet (or could it be a polo?) mallet.

I admired the beautiful faux Tiffany lamps as I continued my way around the room.  Then my name was called and I picked up the order and was on my way.

It's now time to share your own drink inspired post this week.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.
