Xingfu Mama’s ‘Pull Up A Seat Challenge ‘ is now in its 45th week and I’m still finding photos to share, mostly from our holiday files.
Here are hubby and I resting our weary legs after walking around all the ruins that Athens has to offer.
Our son Jeff, also a bit travel-weary, sat himself down with a slightly more interesting view in the background.
We always seem to be sitting down. Here we are in Central Park NYC. It’s a wonder we ever get anywhere.
Here are Jeff and his dad sitting down in Tombstone Arizona at the bar in Big Nose Kate’s Saloon, the best cowboy bar in the West, dating back to 1880.
And talking of bars and alcohol, here is Bubba our verbose guide at the Jack Daniel’s distillery in Tennessee. He was telling us at great length of how Jack was injured one morning, when in a fit of temper he kicked the door of his safe after he forgot the combination and couldn’t get it open. The injury to his toe spread to his whole foot and turned gangrenous. After having his leg amputated, he died of complications at the young age of sixty-one.
On that sad note, I’ll wish you all a very pleasant rest of the week. Keep calm and live longer.
Great photos!
Glad you enjoyed them.
Love the chairs.. how sad on Jack Daniel..
Thanks Lisa. Not a good way to end one’s career. π¦
Is it me or are public seats hard to come by in European countries?
I think it depends on whether you grab one when you see it empty. π
Goodness, best not to lose your temper with a safe!
Yes, the motto of the sad story. π
You’ve relaxed in so many great places on your travels. Love the backdrop in that photo with Jeff. I wanted by those benches in Central Park for many years. I wonder if I wandered past you when you were sitting there, I was not aware of the story of Jack Daniels’ demise. I will think of it whenever I forget to ‘keep calm’.
Thanks, Lisa. A story with a moral. π
I really love your content. Keep going. I also have just started blogging and I would be very happy if you follow me http://rushonline.blog/

Thank you for hosting. π
Very interesting seats and stories.
Thank you. π
What a dreadful way to kick the bucket! Pardon the pun. π
π€£π Good one, Carol.
lovely photos and captions, Sylvia! my favorite is the two beautiful lovebirds taken in Athens! π π
How sweet of you to say so, Lola. π
Traveling around to some very interesting places, garbing a seat and photo for memory, now this is a happy life (and the reason why you’re always wearing a smile!)
Thanks so much, Eddie. I think youβve hit the nail on the head. π
Way to meet the challenge! After all, linking Tombstone, AZ and Athens, Greece is a challenge in itself! Thanks for a touch of Athens because I haven’t been there yet.
Thanks so much, Frank. I try my best. π
The photo of you and hubby having a rest after walking around the ruins of Athens is exactly the way Paul and I felt today when we were out and about on a really hot day…wears you out!
Interesting story about Jack Daniels..it seems as if he lost his temper once too often!
Thanks, Gerrie. Yes, being out in the heat is very exhausting. Thankfully it’s cooled down quite a lot here, which is lovely. Poor Jack really should have kept his cool. π¦
I love the places where you can sit for a while and take in the details of your surroundings!
Me too, Aletta. Benches are always a welcome sight. π
π
Wonderful seating settings from around the world! No wonder your legs are so weary!! π
Thanks, Donna. You have no idea. π Iβve ruined many pairs of sandals on my travels. My toes like to be free so I rarely wear sensible shoes.
That must’ve been one helluva kick, old Jack! Eina!
Iβll say. π³ Maybe he only had his socks on. π
Great sitting places! π
Thanks, Lynette. π
A see a lovely and loving couple in the first picture π
I can relate to the story well although it is not exactly the same that I hurt myself because I got angry with something but mostly I carelessly did something and then injured myself. π¦
Thank you. We are indeed very loving. π I know what itβs like to sustain an injury from carelessness or maybe it was rather too much haste. π³
Voor ieder een zitje waar dan ook
Dit is waar, Marylou. π

Thanks so much, Rebecca. What a lovely quote. π xx
