The Photo Tag Game/Jelly Donut



A new (to me) and fun tag game, the requirement is to choose the 6th folder and the 6th picture. Thanks for the hit Kimberly. Check out her blog and her Etsy shop, she is one talented tagger!

My picture is entitled Jelly Donut. Jelly Donut is located on Virginia Street, a main road in Reno, NV. It's the long stretch of Virginia between the regular casino section (downtown?) and the Atlantis/Peppermill section. In the 3 or 4 days we usually spend in Reno each visit, we drive this stretch countless times. Jelly Donut is one of those retro doughnut shops that have absolutely no decor, no charm, no warmth. But they do have pretty darn good doughnuts. I would prefer if it was called Baked Donut (I don't like jellies nor am I fond of putting food in my body that has been plunged into a vat of oil.) Anthony would prefer if it was called Jelly Donut & Pizza ('nuff said.)

The picure reminds me of the enjoyable time we always have when we go to Reno. We'd gone every year since we met but last year I couldn't because I was in a new job with no paid time off yet (no Anthony, I cannot affor to take time off without pay, neither financially nor mentally.) Maybe on our next visit (hopefully Spring) I'll finally take a picture of the Asian restaurant with the sign that reads, "Have a Rice Day."

Thanks for joining me on this short trip down memory lane. I wish you all a rice day!

Now the rules of the game:

1) Go to your picture folder, or wherever you store your photos on your computer
2) Go to the sixth folder and pick the sixth picture
3) Post it on your blog and tell the story that goes along with the picture
4) Tag five friends to do the same thing, and leave a message on their blog that they have been tagged~


I hereby TAG:

1. Jamee Jonara Blu Maui
2. Marjorie Marjorie's Cracked Plate Jewelry
3. Michelle Michivision
4. Willow Simply Willow
5. Wezz The World of Wezz

NOTE: IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY I WILL FORGIVE YOU...eventually.

  1. What a fun tag game..thanks for including me :) I miss going to the donut shop...haven't done that in years..just grab one at Foodland on 'very rare' occasions when we are out and want coffee at the adjoining Starbucks. But there is something about going to the old donut shop that makes the experience authentic.

    I don't like jelly donuts either..I like those old fashioned ones in chocolate :P

  2. Sorry it took me so long to respond - I'm lagging a bit behind in everything these days! Now this is certainly a different type of tag game. Sounds fun! I'll get on it as soon as I can. I agree with you about jelly donuts too sweet. Jamee - you picked my favorite donut - old fashioned with chocolate! Now I'm longing for a donut! lol
