Friday Hunt 2017.2.22

It is the first Friday of December - shorter and colder days perhaps, but like every Friday, time for the great meme, Friday Hunt, kindly hosted by Teresa. Onward to the prompts...

Starts with 'V'. That one is easy! My last name is Villers, the family and I owned Volkswagens and the Villers family went on Vacations in the distant past, so the vacations in today's post are today are Vintage.

A Vintage Villers Vacation in 1961 in the briny Atlantic low tide in Brigantine, New Jersey. Only five children watched over by Aunt Terry.

In Atlantic City, 1965. A great Vacation, and notice how mom picked matching plaid for the girls - and coordinating plaid for my shorts!

Here is an early slideshow of the 1965 vacation in Atlantic City

My brother at age 4 by the family 1964 VW Beetle. Our family also owned a 1968 VW Type 2 Microbus. Cool kid in '69, he's the sibling who lives in Utah.

This was my favorite vehicle, a 1982 VW Rabbit L, manual transmission and A/C, basic. But it was reliable and fun. I only sold it because we both owned 2-door VW's with a baby on the way and the older one had to leave the nest...

 

Festive. This was from a surprise 60th birthday party at our home in 1991. I think the Garfield balloon and streamers gifts give a festive air the day after.

Wood. Our kitchen was renovated awhile back. The cabinets and trim were made of wood. I think :)

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.17

It is yet another rainy and raw Friday in Southern New England, but no worries. It is time again for Teresa’s fun meme, Friday Hunt. Without further ado, here are my look at this week’s clues. 

Starts with ‘R’. I am choosing Renovation (and wreck would be perfect phonetically at least :). These pics were taken on 30 October 1996, and it was the beginning of a new wheelchair ramp. Which first required removing the front stoop and sidewalk. It was an amazing process handled by large workers and heavy equipment to remove the old before creating the new…

Week's Favorite. Every Spring, without fail, this lone tulip arises in the very spot in the side yard. It is a sure sign of Spring - it is pretty, but how about a few sunny warm days? 2017 has been way too cool so far

Window. What window is complete without furry family feline friend Linus McDonald? Not this one!
