#AlphabetHunt letter S- and who are the winners of the lucky draw for the #R week.. [ENG-FR]

This week I'm in search of the alphabet letter "S". I didn't have to search hard to find items to fit this category.

Esta semana estoy buscando la letra "S" del alfabeto. No tuve que buscar mucho para encontrar artículos que encajen en esta categoría.

SEAWALL IN GALVESTON, TX

I love the beach and being near the water. The closest one to me is in Galveston, Texas. It's actually known as Galveston Island. It's located at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico. During the summer, this small town is a tourist haven. People come from near and far just to visit the several beaches.

Galveston is also known for its Seawall that was built in 1900 as a result of the Island being destroyed by the "Great Storm of 1900." Thousands of islanders lost their lives. The island suffered massive property damage because for 1900, that amount of destruction was catastrophic. This devastation is considered the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

In it's rebuilding efforts, the city constructed the 10 ft. long Seawall. With this upgrade the elevation of the city was raised. Since that time, the Seawall has become a flurry of family fun activities, including bicycle and golf cart rentals where you can peddle down the 10 mile stretch.

Now, tourists can have fun visiting museums nearby, taking advantage of piers for fishing and fun for children at Pleasure Pier just off the Seawall. There are shops and eateries just across the Seawall Blvd. on the opposite side. You can park near the Seawall and look out over the incoming waves and at the beachgoers.

Me encanta la playa y estar cerca del agua. La más cercana a mí está en Galveston, Texas. En realidad se conoce como la isla de Galveston. Está situada en la boca del Golfo de México. Durante el verano, este pequeño pueblo es un paraíso turístico. La gente viene de cerca y de lejos sólo para visitar las diversas playas.

Galveston también es conocida por su malecón que fue construido en 1900 como resultado de la destrucción de la isla por la "Gran Tormenta de 1900". Miles de isleños perdieron la vida. La isla sufrió enormes daños materiales porque para 1900, esa cantidad de destrucción fue catastrófica. Esta devastación es considerada el desastre natural más mortal de la historia de los Estados Unidos.

En sus esfuerzos de reconstrucción, la ciudad construyó el dique de 3 metros de largo. Con esta mejora se elevó la elevación de la ciudad. Desde entonces, el Dique se ha convertido en una oleada de actividades familiares divertidas, incluyendo el alquiler de bicicletas y de carritos de golf donde se puede pedalear por el tramo de 10 millas.

Ahora, los turistas pueden divertirse visitando los museos cercanos, aprovechando los muelles para la pesca y la diversión de los niños en el muelle del Placer, justo al lado del Dique. Hay tiendas y restaurantes justo al otro lado del bulevar del Dique, en el lado opuesto. Puedes aparcar cerca del malecón y mirar las olas que vienen y a los visitantes de la playa.

SEAGULLS

Of course, you can't go to Galveston beaches without capturing those beautiful flocks of seagulls lining the seawall. I have numerous photos of them from my visits these past years. These gray birds are known to inhabit the area.

The gulls have a wide wingspan and follow behind fishing boats patiently waiting for any unwanted items the fishermen may return to the sea.

When no boats are traveling through, they gather on the seawall waiting for visitors to pay attention and reward them for their friendly attitude. I love sitting outside my RV just watching them and their antics as they line up in formation.

Por supuesto, no puedes ir a las playas de Galveston sin capturar esas hermosas bandadas de gaviotas que bordean el malecón. Tengo numerosas fotos de ellas de mis visitas de los últimos años. Se sabe que estas aves grises habitan el área.

Las gaviotas tienen una amplia envergadura y siguen detrás de los barcos de pesca esperando pacientemente por cualquier cosa no deseada que los pescadores puedan devolver al mar.

Cuando no hay botes viajando, se reúnen en el malecón esperando que los visitantes presten atención y les recompensen por su actitud amistosa. Me encanta sentarme fuera de mi caravana para verlos a ellos y sus payasadas mientras se alinean en formación.

SOUP, SANDWICH, SALAD, & SNAPPLE

I love soup and sandwich for lunch. It's a quick, no-fuss meal. Not only do I eat it for lunch, I've eaten it for dinner when I'm not in the mood to cook.

My choice of soup is from the canned organic brand of soups made by Amy. I'll fix a half sandwich of cheddar cheese, smoked turkey and ham. To round out my meal, I grab a Diet Peach Tea Snapple to drink. Sometimes I'll add Baked chips.

On days I feel like something different, I create a beautiful salad from any items I have handy to accompany my salad greens.

Me encanta la sopa y el sándwich para el almuerzo. Es una comida rápida y sin complicaciones. No sólo la como en el almuerzo, sino que también la ceno cuando no estoy de humor para cocinar.

Mi elección de sopa es de la marca de sopas orgánicas enlatadas hechas por Amy. Prepararé medio sándwich de queso cheddar, pavo ahumado y jamón. Para completar mi comida, tomo un té de melocotón dietético para beber. A veces añado patatas fritas al horno.

En los días en que me siento como algo diferente, creo una hermosa ensalada con cualquier cosa que tenga a mano para acompañar mis ensaladas.

SILLY GAMES (SIMON AND SKEEBALL)

I didn't grow up lots of games. Our fun was had outdoors playing with nature and our friends. Now, children have numerous board and electronic games, as well as online gaming activities. For some old fashioned fun found in arcade style gaming rooms for kids, the games I found below are played.

Simon was a popular game for memorization. The person who can memorize a certain pattern and repeat it without fail wins the most points. Another game found in the arcade gaming rooms is Skeeball. The object of the game is to roll a small ball into the round holes. The more difficult the angle of the hole, the more points you score. I've played both games with my children both at home and at the gaming rooms.

No crecí con muchos juegos. Nos divertíamos al aire libre jugando con la naturaleza y nuestros amigos. Ahora, los niños tienen numerosos juegos de mesa y electrónicos, así como actividades de juegos en línea. Para un poco de diversión a la antigua, que se encuentra en salas de juego estilo arcade para niños, se juegan los juegos que encontré a continuación.

Simon era un juego popular para memorizar. La persona que puede memorizar un cierto patrón y repetirlo sin falta gana la mayoría de los puntos.

Otro juego que se encuentra en las salas de juego de los arcos es el Skeeball. El objetivo del juego es hacer rodar una pequeña bola en los agujeros redondos. Cuanto más difícil sea el ángulo del hoyo, más puntos obtendrás. He jugado a ambos juegos con mis hijos tanto en casa como en las salas de juego.

SOCKS

Where would the world be without socks? It's an essential commodity. You know those wonderful garments you put on your feet for whatever reason. Those wonderful garments that are the favorite snack dryers love to consume. Those wonderful garments that are a staple on your clothes shopping list.

Socks come in various sizes, shapes, and colors. We can't do without them. My granddaughter has a special pair of socks required by the indoor trampoline facility that she had to purchase in order to gain access to the play area. Also, specialty socks are designed for and utilized in numerous sporting activities.

In other aspects of our lives, socks are utilized in the medical field to accommodate specialized needs. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and specialty socks were recommended for my feet due to the coldness I experience frequently.

I love my socks. I even wear them to sleep. Socks are my preferred gifts for numerous occasions.

¿Dónde estaría el mundo sin calcetines? Es una mercancía esencial. Conoces esas maravillosas prendas que te pones en los pies por cualquier razón. Esas maravillosas prendas que son las favoritas de los secadores de bocadillos que les encanta consumir. Esas maravillosas prendas que son un elemento básico en tu lista de compras de ropa.

Los calcetines vienen en varios tamaños, formas y colores. No podemos prescindir de ellos. Mi nieta tiene un par de calcetines especiales requeridos por la instalación de trampolín interior que tuvo que comprar para poder acceder al área de juego. Además, los calcetines especiales son diseñados y utilizados en numerosas actividades deportivas.

En otros aspectos de nuestras vidas, los calcetines se utilizan en el campo de la medicina para acomodarse a las necesidades especializadas. Tengo diabetes tipo 2, y los calcetines especiales fueron recomendados para mis pies debido al frío que experimento frecuentemente.

Me encantan mis calcetines. Incluso me los pongo para dormir. Los calcetines son mis regalos preferidos en numerosas ocasiones.

SUNDAY SPORTS

Well, today is Sunday. And for millions of households, someone is watching sports. This year, sports has had to adjust to the pandemic just like everyone else.

I love Football. The National Football League (the "NFL) decided to have a season this year. Normally, my family would be in the stadium cheering them on. However, this year, we were skeptical, so we decided to forego our season tickets and sit out until next season.

Good decision I feel. Anyway, my team, the Houston Texans, are having a pitiful start. No wins and 2 losses so far. Their off season move as far as their star receiver I feel were not in the best interst of the team. I can understand a player not living up to his potential.

But the way management handled this player had nothing to do with his performance. It was personal animosity towards the player from the coach. Once the trade was complete, the only conclusion one can make came straight from the mouth of the coach. I wouldn't want to play for a any team under those circumstances. However, I feel the coach's days are numbered.

Now, I love my team; but the direction they're headed is not positive. But hey, they sent me 2 MASKS with the team logo on them to wear. I have to remember. It's a business after all.

Bueno, hoy es domingo. Y para millones de hogares, alguien está viendo deportes. Este año, los deportes han tenido que adaptarse a la pandemia como todos los demás.

Me encanta el fútbol. La Liga Nacional de Fútbol (la "NFL") decidió tener una temporada este año. Normalmente, mi familia estaría en el estadio animándolos. Sin embargo, este año, éramos escépticos, así que decidimos renunciar a nuestros abonos de temporada y sentarnos hasta la próxima temporada.

Me parece una buena decisión. De todos modos, mi equipo, los texanos de Houston, están teniendo un comienzo lamentable. Sin victorias y 2 derrotas hasta ahora. Su movimiento fuera de temporada hasta su receptor estrella no fue el mejor interés del equipo. Puedo entender que un jugador no esté a la altura de su potencial.

Pero la forma en que la gerencia manejó a este jugador no tuvo nada que ver con su desempeño. Fue una animosidad personal del entrenador hacia el jugador. Una vez que el intercambio se completó, la única conclusión que se puede hacer vino directamente de la boca del entrenador. No querría jugar en ningún equipo bajo esas circunstancias. Sin embargo, siento que los días del entrenador están contados.

Ahora, amo a mi equipo; pero la dirección que están tomando no es positiva. Pero oye, me enviaron dos máscaras con el logo del equipo para que las use. Tengo que recordar. Es un negocio después de todo.

Thanks for walking through my "S" letter for items found in my home.

Gracias por leer mi letra "S" para los artículos encontrados en mi casa.

Thanks,
@justclickindiva

Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing my alphabet letters for the "S". So glad you liked my sandwich. It was good too, lol. Yes, I love my socks, 24/7, 365 days. I'm never caught without them, and never leave home without a pair in my purse, no matter the occasion.

Have a great rest of your week. Hope you are doing well also.

Are you very active on Hive right now?

So you did share some food but a load of other good stuff as well, socks is one thing that often ends up losing its mate! I have a small growing pile of sad socks without partners;) Where they go to, I have no idea!
Nice S hunt @justclickindiva!

Thank you so much. Yes, sadly, socks can't remarry, so they end up alone the rest of their lives. Lonely situation all around. Is there a Singles Club for Socks somewhere they can meet and mingle. May be able to find if not an exact match, a close companion :)

They can meet on the social platform Hive. They can send in photos and profiles. No NSFW allowed, i.e. holes. What a riot! I wish I could think of this stuff before I click the "publish" button. Maybe my posts would be more livlier!

Have a great rest of your week.
