This is one of my beautiful red Hibiscus blossoms, which I have spotlighted, and like the effect. Isn't it pretty?
After I snapped the picture of the impatiens, Eileen and I went into the restaurant and were seated at our favorite table by a window. And lo and behold, what did I see right at the next table? Something bright red, just waiting for me to take a picture of! How lucky can one get?
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
PS. Just so no one thinks I am being disrespectful by calling our friends "geezers," it's all done in fun, and the "geezers" sometimes refer to us gals as "old biddies." So all is fair in friendly name calling. :-)
There is a nice, home style restaurant in town that we frequent once a week. Outside the restaurant are six huge containers of impatiens. This one had the most red impatiens, so I took a picture of it. Impatiens are always lovely, and they bloom from spring until late fall, and they can't be beat in a shady spot in the garden, or in containers.

See the two old geezers seated at this table? They are frequent visitors to the same restaurant as well. And they usually get their jollies by teasing and flirting with us. Of course, Eileen and I oblige them by flirting back. We get our amusements where we can! Tee Hee!
So the other day, when one of them was wearing a bright red T-shirt, I
grabbed my camera and hopped on over there, much to Eileen's dismay.
I told the geezers that if they let me take their picture, I would make them famous on the Internet. Ha ha ha. They agreed, although they are not into computers and have no idea what the Internet is. But that red shirt looks perfect for a Ruby Tuesday shot, don't you think? Ha! And my geezer friends were extremely nice to cooperate. Thanks, guys. :-)

Thank you for informing me about the award from Pia.
Both of you are so sweet.
(((HUGS)))
Ha Ha, very funny!
Nice Ruby Tuesday post.
xoxox
Funny story Renie. One of the old geezers also had a red glass. I have red hibiscus also, they are some of my favorites. I buy them every year. And impatiens also. The impatiens I got his year are still doing very well.
I especially enjoyed your story of you and Eileen flirting with the old geezers. Happy Tuesday!
I love seeing the touches of red you shared Renie. How fun to have some "old geezers" to be such good sports!
xo
Hey there Ruby,
I have an Aunt Jane who everyone outside the family always called Ruby. I never knew why until a few years ago when I found out her name was really Ruby Jane. Isn't that weird? Her husband, my uncle, was named David Leroy and we always called him Roy. Odd family I come from.
Also, I am planning on buying a red hibiscus and planting it in my front garden. Wish me luck.
As to the geezers - "You go girl".
~hippo hugs~
You are just too funny. Well at least you all still enjoy the flirting part. That's about the extent of it around here also. LOL
Have a great day. Time for me to start lunch.
Love the red hibiscus.
Hello, Done Renie!
Very nice posting. Nice photos and pretty picturs.
Have a nice day!

Thank you.

I'm partial to the hibiscus myself. Love how you lit it. I did a similar one a while back.
Nice work here!
Pretty red hybiscus!
"Your such a wonderful crack up! Ha Ha Ha and to think not once did you even mention that red glass too. Old Geezers! ha ha ha I haven't heard that term in ages...ha ha ha
You are so cute Rennie!! Flirting is about all I can do now days too!! Just need an ole geezer to flirt with!! Hugs Grams
You crack me up!!! I can see you slithering over to those men's table and laying on the flattery to get their picture. I bet you two really made their day!!! I didn't do RT today, but I'll be back next week.
Lovely photos, I too loved the old geezers. I too would jump up and take a photo, and Yes I have been called a flirt all my life. Not flirting though, I truly lvoe people. Love to see the smile you can bring to their face. Love to make them feel accepted.
Check out my Ruby Post.

hahaha-
Renie,
Maybe *I* should get out and take better pictures...:)
The flowers are beautiful - any kind of red flowers are my favorite.
Your Hibiscus and those Impatiens are beautiful!!! That is funny about the gentlemen friends of yours!!! They were nice to let you snap their picture!
Renie,
I love your red photos and those ol' geezers look like they would be a lot of fun. Teasing and joking can make life so much brighter. I'm glady you have such wonderful friends.
Take care and enjoy the season. Leaves are turning quickly here. Hopefully I can get some pictures but we're having a lot of rain here and it is extremely chilly.
Blessings,
Mary
Love your comments about the old geezers. They look good fun. We'd probably call them old gadgies here in the North East of England. Bet you all had a great time that day.
Like your photos too, lovely and summery. Summer, what's that? It's so long since we had one, I've forgotten!
Oh Renie, I love Hibiscus! (had a red one, too, when we lived in AZ); LOVE-LOVE Impatiens...now I'm sad of where I live...I can't have either of them here! *pouting..*
How fun to tease those two gentlemen (ooops, excuse me...old geezers...)Did they pay for your lunch since you promised to make them famous? ;)
Hope your week has been wonderful, Renie.
~Hugs~
Barb
LOL
Geezers huh??? you are a hoot...
Love your ruby Tuesday..
