Shadow Shot Sunday - Vintage Seaside Shadows

Winter in New England can be stylish (see: freshly fallen snow), yet cold and when a seasonal 'warm' day might be 40°F (4.5°C) it is still a cold day. So for warmth, Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is graced with a pic from over 47 years ago for a complete Villers family shoot along the New Jersey barrier island shore town of Brigantine. Subtle shadows exist all around and take a look at the styles from 1969 (note my gold blazer and turtleneck sans a chain). Retro, stylish and shadowy, it looks warm at least...

Friday Hunt 2016-2.22

It is Friday, and time for the next installment of Friday Hunt, Teresa's fun clue meme. Here are mine for the week:

Starts with 'V'. Of course, the obvious for me is Villers. This pic was taken at a family vacation on the Jersey Shore barrier island of Brigantine, July 1969. It is the entire Villers clan at the time, from Ralph and Agnes (lower right), my father (center) and his sister, our Aunt Terry (holding baby). For my grandparents, they had only two children they had 13 grandkids (Terry's sixth was born in 1971). Cool pic and like a few weeks ago, the late '60s style is seen. I'm wearing the gold blazer - where's the chain?

Week's Favorite: Patti wrote an article for Tuesday's Valley-Voice newsletter about local sports aficionado Rich Marazzi was hosting a talk about his book about the Historic Yale Bowl. This is my fave today as we see the screen, we barely see Mr. Marazzi and we see the laptop image of the slide. I like the layered look of this presentation...

Thanks: I am very thankful for our family, the four of us together. On the left is the first day of school in 1996. Third and first grades, always good kids. Alas, they do grow up, but we were all together for Thanksgiving yesterday. Thanks to Teresa for hosting this meme too :)
