Blue Monday - Out for Lunch

It's Blue Monday! To participate:

1. Post about something blue on your blog. It can be pretty, ugly, funny, old, or new as long as it's blue. Leave a link to this blog on your post.

2. Place the Blue Monday button on the top of your post so that people can easily spot it. Place another Blue Monday button on the sidebar of your blog.

3. Mr. Linky will be up after midnight. Return here and link in with Mr. Linky by leaving your name and the Permalink to your post. To create a Permalink, click on your Blue Monday post title and copy all the stuff in the http window. It is a longer address so that people can find your post even later in the week--whenever they get a chance to visit.

4. Leave me a comment. I promise that I will visit you and leave you a commet. Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links. Make someone's day; leave a comment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Johnny and I went to lunch last Saturday at The Beverly Hills Cafe, a local restaurant that specializes in sandwiches and salads. Here's a copy of the front of their menu. Notice the blue star with their name in the lower right hand corner.



They have artwork on the walls, and I took some pictures. I'll show some more on Saturday, but today, I have some blue to share. See the blue moon?


Here's a bit closer shot so that you can fully appreciate the blues in the picture.

This picture is on a back wall. Once again, the blue moon. Maybe they should rename their place to Blue Moon.

    I like those paintings because they are modern, yet still have that old Hollywood vibe, like the restaurant's name.

    Good morning Sally, I'm up early to try and visit before we are off on another photo shoot.

    I would love to eat at the Beverly Hill's Cafe. The art is interesting and the blue moon is odd but fits the feeling of the art. I know you enjoyed a date with your hubby.

    Just wanted to say thanks for hosting.
    I did do a post, but decided not to link here as it is of a serious nature, and most of the time these are supposed to be fun.

    Come by and visit if you like, and I'll try to post some fun things next week.
