FFO In Space and Smiles

 
I got this inflatable keyholder-fella, with whom I join Nicole´s FFO, and who hangs right here at my PC I got some 20 whopping years ago from the Space Center Bremen. 
There was loads of advertisement,and we went. It was not really ready yet, but some things were open to public and we thought they were GREAT!!!!
 

Star Trek Voyager in 4-D, for example, weee, perfect for a jumpy person like me!
When the aliens shot at you the seat in front of you did that, too - with air,of course!
 
You had a tour on the ISS with 3-D-glasses and a soft roller coaster 3-D-ride through space.
Star Troopers (well, dressed humans) were there,too, we were... WOW! 

Yet,7 months after opening only 350.000 visitors had come in and in the end they had to close - so sad.

BUT!!! We´re here for Smiles, right (and the memory of the Center makes me smile still,I am thankful we went!).

So, for Annie´s Smiles, one very fresh one from yesterday, a warm evening:


As you can see the glass is empty so... nothing for Elizabeth´s T ;-)


Usually I am the slowest "drinker" but this really is Ingo´s glass - on the glass you see Alte Waage, they use it for Alt-beer.
I had CRABBS (CRaft Beer BraunSchweig). The glass has a happy Crab as sybol:


Yes,Ingo is that crazy. Despite he has the clumsiest woman he buys those glasses...
The beer, btw even gets delivered to your home, usually by bike!
 
As Ingo had fresh hot chicken I had nothing to eat (I can´t have a whole Bratwurst) but I had this again at home for lunch with which I join Gillena´s Lunch Break:
 

 ... tilsit cheese, thin slices of chicken breast and horse radish, YUM!

Some funnies?



Also ours is red and happy:

Have the day off again, it´s sunny and it will become a warm Summer´s day. So... hope you have a great Friday, too!
 
And this is for Lisca, who found a similar one and reminded me I have this in the archive since ages:
 
To weekend-Kingdom!

Lisca said...

Oh you got me giggling with that last photo. Thanks Iris.
And tenants, heehee.
I love that Crabbs glass. I'm also clumsy, but as I got older I'm breaking less glasses. Are you finding that?
Is summer arriving at last? Enjoy the sunshine!
Lisca

Folk should learn to check their background before taking a photo, (or perhaps it was intentional!).
It was good you got to the Space expo before it closed, and were able to make some happy memories. Kate x

Iris Flavia said...

Gillena, thank you for hosting - and remembering that yummy dish (need to buy horse-radish again!)

Lisca, well, 24C. But sunny!!! And so humid!
So there is hope with my clumsiness? Good... Ingo will be happy (and me, also)...

Iris Flavia said...

Kate, I have no idea,maybe the pic was on purpose - I hope!
I can´t understand why the center had to close. They could´ve started a second round. It really was great! But you are right - glad we didn´t miss x

Gene Black said...

Oh, that last photo!
I have small keepsake items from trips also. I rarely see keepsake keychains. But those are a quite practical way to save a memory.

My name is Erika. said...

That squirrel in your funnies is probably invading my bird feeder and already eaten all the food. He's waiting for more and its not coming fast enough-ha ha. That sounds like a cool place to visit. Too bad it closed. I would like it there I think. And nice glasses too. I've never heard of home beer delivery. That is such an awesome idea. :) OK, enough babble from me. Have a super start to your weekend. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Gene, I never dared to publish this but I just followed Lisca with the pic :-)
Yes, I have some memory keepsakes :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, yes, that squirrel looks real pis#ed!
So sad, really, about the Space Center and yes. There are other companies delivering also softdrinks, water, groceries... great when you had an accident or are too old and weak to carry the stuff home.
To a great Friday, Saturday.... yippeee, weekend! In summer!

RedPat said...

Love the funnies especially the one about hanging up the phone, Iris.

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Iris sorry I'm a bit late, walked dogs and then went to the hairdressers but I'm back now. It's so sad when interesting places have to close but I think at the moment the cost of keeping them open is becoming a problem. It's interesting that your bread looks quite different from what we have. Enjoyed the funnies too. Sending hugs Angela xXx

Barbara Rogers said...

Sorry to hear the fun attraction closed so soon. I appreciate your fun photos, especially the last!

Christine said...

Fun art! Thanks for the smiles!

gigi-hawaii said...

Going to tell David that cute "tenants" joke this morning.

DVArtist said...

Your post just makes me smile. Fabulous art, wonderful stories, a great photo in Ingo and I really like the funny with the grated cheese. Made my morning. Thank you for joining FFO and have a grate weekend. LOL

Cloudia said...

Thanks for this amusing post. Iris, Aloha!

Iris Flavia said...

RedPat,indeed I always check if the teams call is off before I mumble (I never say asshole, though).

Angela, I think if back then everything´d been ready they would still be open!
They promised so much in the Science Center that was just not available yet (and never).
Germany is bread-country" :-)
You´re welcome to pop by, hugs xXx

Barbara, yep,sad with Bremen but yay to funnies!

Christine, you´re welcome :-)

gigi, hope you don´t have tenants like that ;-)

Nicole, to a grate weekend and loads of smiles :-) I got more aliens today!

Bill said...

I just finished laughing. Thanks for sharing the humor. :)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Bill, that made me laugh :-)

Granny Sue said...

Love that last one, Iris!
I am not a trekkie or a Star Wars fan, but that expo sounded amazing. I would have enjoyed that.
Larry says he would like to try that beer! It was so funny when we were in England to see Bud Lite on the imports shelf at the pubs!

CJ Kennedy said...

When you said you had crabs I thought you meant 🦀and not craft beer. Good for a laugh!

Iris Flavia said...

Sue, yes, the Science Center was great in my eyes! You felt like you really were on the ISS!
And the beer at Jürgen´s is really yummy!

____

CJ, that´s why I put in the pic :-)
When I heard the name for the first time, I though... YUCK!

hi Iris, LeeAnna

It's a shame the Science Centre had to close. The funnies are very funny.
