The Weekend Roundup 'G'

Ah, the weekend is here and time for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup, this week featuring the letter 'G' which begins this week's post...

I begin with my Grandparents, Ralph and Agnes Villers. To the left, they are at their 50th anniversary service on August 21, 1976 at St. Peter's Church in Steubenville, Ohio. The entire family went to this wonderful event. To the right, I believe this to be their wedding day in 1926. Can't be totally sure, but they do look happy :)

On the next day (Aug. 22, 1976) of that fun weekend, we also see Grandchildren, my Dad and Aunt Terry (their children), their spouses and 12 grandkids. Here is by the pool at the Steubenville Holiday Inn. I'm in the back row, third from the right.

Then there is Glassware on display at Country Cottage in Seymour, CT. They sell an eclectic array of home decor, estate jewelry, seasonal items, and more.

Favorite. I love this photo that the always lovely Patti. This view of Pickett’s Pond at Osbornedale State Park in Derby CT. I know it's Winter, but this may be illusory. Look closely, you might even think it’s summer instead. I see an azure sea with gentle whitecaps breaking at the shore. And I see the horizon with fair weather clouds above a calm sea. What do you see?  

Finally, there is Green. More specifically, the New Haven CT Green on a Spring day a few years ago. I'm looking forward to green leaves (and warm temps) in a couple of months!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.17

On the first really warm Friday since I don't remember when, it is time again for Teresa's fun Friday Hunt. And I am ready...

Begins with 'Q'. There are not many I can think of, but the first one that jumps to mind is the New York City borough of Queens, where I spent part of my youth. The elevated signs on the region's bridges and expressways allow for a capitol 'Q'. And if that is not quite enough, how about a Quintet of Quackers swimming in the Housatonic River in Shelton CT. 

Week's Favorite. Patti and went for a birthday dinner (mine, 62 :) at Lulu Pazzo Italiano in Ansonia. We attended the grand opening in February, so we knew the food was great (and it was). This week's favorite pic was desert, Zeppoles. Little fried dough pieces drizzled with caramel with Nutela as a dip. The nicest fried dough this side of New Orleans...

Evening. This is a view of New Haven Harbor in June 2003. The sky is changing from day to night over the urban waters and the little boats are tucked in for the night. Nice clues again this week!
