The first this week is Horse, and this horse's name is Huckleberry. What a majestic look!
Next is a fire truck from our closest firehouse in Ansonia, Hilltop Hose. The volunteer companies in Ansonia are very responsive...
Then there is Hair Salon. This is Invent Hair in our neighbor to the north, Seymour CT.
Our state capitol is Hartford CT. The view is from I-91 North. The onion dome is from the 1865 Colt Armory building undergoing renovation. Patti captured this from the passenger seat - gotta stay safe!
House. This is the family homestead, December 1975 in East Hartford, CT. Six of the seven Villers kids are here on a snowy day.
A fine loooking horse and a lovely red fire truck. I remember seeing you house and family in that shot before. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice horse, Ralph. We have a lot here this week as it time again for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The trail riders have come to town now. This morning they will participate in our Houston Rodeo Parade.

Great roundup Ralph! Great horse and what a fun flashback to the homestead!
ReplyDeleteWhat I remember most about Hartford, our trips to Constitution Plaza every year at Christmas to see the tiny white lights display, it was like none other! I also remember going to G Fox and Co. downtown, they actually had an elevator operator "1st floor, going up" and of course that mezzanine stop, too! Do you remember these? Good times :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Ralph!

I do remember the lights Constitution Plaza in the '60s! As well as G Fox (I think toys were on the 11th floor. It was magical going to downtown Hartford at Christmas - G.Fox, Sage Allen and Brown Thompson's all in a row and to b visted on a single day!
DeleteI just love that horse picture Ralph - but I think you know I have a soft spot for the animals! The blue dome is absolutely gorgeous. Is that some kind of tile on it, or is it just painted blue? In either case, it is very interesting.
