Oh, I LOVE the Cafe Blues!!! Gosh, it's not even 5 a.m. and I'm starving after lookin at all that scrumptious food! And, I swear, blue, red or pink with purple polka dots, Durmot Mulroney is gorgeous!!!! He could lift my blues any day! Great post, BJ!
ReplyDeleteDiane
You always find the cutest pictures, BJ. "Blue Plate Special" cafes are my favorite kind, and I enjoyed seeing all of those.
ReplyDeleteI hope your sick ones feel better soon.
Sincerely,
Janie
P.S. ... I LUV Dermot, too!
Good morning BJ...I was just happily reading along on your blog until I came to a screeching halt about your dad's cafe in PLAINVIEW!
ReplyDeleteI went to Ash Elementary in Plainview in 5th & 6th grades... I lived with an aunt & uncle at Halfway, Tx. ...were you old enough to remember any of this?
;-) Bo
I love the name Blue Moon Cafe. And, I would love to go to a diner for a nice breakfast this morning, but instead, it's off to work for me.
ReplyDeleteI liked that movie, too.
I hope everyone feels much better very soon. Now, don't you go be getting sick.
When we go on vacation, we look for all the local cafes to eat at. One of our rules is that we cannot eat at a chain restaurant that we have in our hometown!
ReplyDeleteI just loved all the blue cafe!
ReplyDeleteGinger
What precious blues! Loved them! Happy Blue Monday to you!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to the Blue Bonnet 'cause they had the PIE HAPPY HOUR! Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteLook at all of those Blue Cafes! They all look like such fun. I loved hot roast beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy....yummm!

Now I'm hungr for meatloaf and mashed potatoes! Don't you just love food like that?
ReplyDeleteHope your family is all better very soon. There is a lot of crud going around. I'm still passing out penicilling from strep last week.
I wonder what it is about blue and barbecue? We have a place here called Red Hot & Blue that specializes in Memphis style BBQ. And where did the term "Blue Plate Special" come from I wonder...
ReplyDeleteHope all the sick are healed soon!
Great Blue Monday post, BJ! I love those little cafe's and so does J. We always try to find these little places.
ReplyDeleteThat's a favorite movie too. Love Mr Mulroney!
Hi BJ...May I call you friend? Thank you so much for following my blog, again it means so much! I love all your blue plate pictures. And your hunk....well, bingo you did it again, Love him too! Enjoyed your post today! No surprise there!
ReplyDeleteHi BJ,
ReplyDeleteLove all the blue. Your blue plate specials really made me hungry! Yum...Amy
Morning BJ...great post girl....I love cafes!!! They really do have some of the best next to homecooked meals...and I also loved that Movie! Hope the family gets to feeling better soon..some of my sweet ones had that 'bug' last week...so you working on taking down wallpaper too huh? lol I finaly got all mine down and repainted and now I am in the process of re "Cracker Barreling" my walls! lol I gotta have my stuff! lol Can't wait to see what you are up to with your rooms! Have a great week sweetie.
ReplyDeleteDermot!! One of my faves. Have you seen Wedding Date? It's fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThose cafes are places I'd love to visit! And I'll have Durmot Mulroney to go!! ;>)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the cafe that features pie for happy hour! My kind of place! LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Carol
I love cafes. I would have to pass on the meatloaf. I just can't eat meatloaf...now those potatoes are another story!
ReplyDeleteWoW! Just like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. And Dermot in The Wedding Date. I don't even want to tell how many times I have watched him...oops it!
ReplyDeleteRoberta Anne
BJ... thanks for making me hungry this morning... fortunately it's almost lunch time! great post.. .those little diners are so great. wish more of them were still in business1 Dixie
ReplyDeleteJean, I'd forgotten all about PV's Bluebonnet Cafe! You do bring so many good memories back, Girl. I didn't know there were so many blue cafes. Hope Stacy and her family feel better today. Do hope you don't get it. You surely got a good exposure. If you get it take a couple of teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Don't laugh! It really does work! An RN friend of mine told me about it and I tried it when that antibiotic made me so sick and lo and behold it stopped it right in it's tracks. Neat post today, lady.
ReplyDeleteLove,Martha
Love your cafe blues!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Susan
Love your blue plate specials and the cafes that serve them, BJ! This was such a cute post, and I talked a little about BPS too, but it was my own plate. LOL! ;-)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Hello there BJ! Loved your creativity with this post! Your blog looks ready for Valentine Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog while I was away. I'm back now and trying to catch up!
Have a wonderful day!
Hi BJ. Thanks for visiting my blog and for the sweet comment. Oh my goodness, as a photographer I love finding those old cafe signs. Looks like I need to come to your neck of the woods. And they look like the food would be so good.
ReplyDeleteBJ - Your post is just great!! I love the blue plate specials and the neat restaurants. I don't know how you come up with your great ideas. Also, I love your page header (in case I didn't already tell you). I hope that your precious daughter feels better soon. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sweetie
Hey there's The Bluebird Cafe by me in Logan Utah! It has THEE best chocolates!
ReplyDeleteStop by and enter my GIVE AWAY!!!♥
I'm thinking a "pie happy hour" would be pretty darn HAPPY!!!! Love the old cafes...I wish there were still more of them around.
ReplyDeleteHi sweet BJness! Oh, I'm so sorry your family is sick! Hope they'll be up and feeling better really soon.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your little Blue Cafes! Now, that vegie one doesn't do much for me. I like the meat stuff!!
Yes, and you've picked a cutie for us to gaze at today. He seems like such a nice young man.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Oh MY BJ, I seriously need meatloaf and mashed taters now! I am going to have to go start some dinner for sure!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Dena
BJ,
ReplyDeleteGreat Blue Monday Post. I love diner food (comfort, sigh)! Did you take all those pictures yourself?? If so you must be like one of those tornado followers!!
The good 'ol stuff is going around here too, I've been spared so far! Sending prayers your way.
xoxo
Jane
I love cafes and hometown diners, too!
ReplyDeleteHi BJ,
ReplyDeleteOh my - what a fun post on the Cafe Blues- your music is just perfect for the cafes. Diners have the best food - we always look for a Diner when traveling in my home state of North Carolina - seems like they all serve the best food and home made pies and yummy coconut cake.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments. For me, the joy of creating is being able to share my art and little garden and I would be delighted if you want to share my blog with your readers.
Thank you.
Blessings,
Erin
Mmmm! I need a blue plate special now. You found a lot of cute little places - even The Blue Bonnet cafe! Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday BJ
ReplyDeleteI love your cafes. How did you manage to get so many pictures of cafes? I love a good cafe too. The blue plate specials looked good...I especially thought the meatloaf dinner was delish looking...and the steak...mmmhmmmm..yum!!
Thank you for sharing...and I hope you've had a great day!

Judi
