The Weekend Roundup - 'T'

It is Friday again, so is time again for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. Love the letter this week...

Starts with "T." I think Tennis fits, and someone doing it from a wheelchair is unique indeed.

Another is Three Saints Orthodox Church in Ansonia CT. Opened in 1955, it seems to blend old with new.

A delicious treat is Tirasimu

A Favorite is this capture of a squirrel  on our roof. I am unsure what he was carrying in his mouth. I guess it is dryer lint, but will take any suggestion :)

Truck. I saw this at a car show, a 1960 Mack. I've always loved the Mack bulldog. Nice prompts Tom!

The Weekend Roundup 'L'

It is a warm(ish) Saturday in March, so again time for Toms fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. My 'L' submittals are as follows...

This Lighthouse is at Five Mile Point on Long Island Sound entering the New Haven Harbor in Connecticut. Built in 1847, it is 80 ft (24 M) tall.

This reception at LuLu Pazzo Italiano restaurant. It was a Luscious array with Lots of fabulous eats including yummy (and hot) stuffed peppers, olives and mortadella. It was a Lovely event!

This old pic is from Luxembourg when I visited in 1982.

Long. This was one my Grandfather's last vehicles before he passed away in 1981. This is a true Land barge, a 1971 Chrysler  Three Hundred. It was really long at 224.7 inches (5,710 mm). I drove it a few times - it was had to keep tack of it...but with a big 440 V-8, it moved along nicely :)

Favorite. How about this squirrel perched upon a Firestone on my Grand Caravan. The squirrels in our yard 

are rather endearing!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.20

It is Friday so again, it is time for Teresa's fun meme Friday Hunt. The clues are here and I am ready!

Starts with 'U'. Years ago, the family visited the Submarine Force Museum in Groton, CT. Here the kids, much younger, are standing at the screw (prop) of the USS Nautilus, now permanently moored in the Thames River here on the US Navy Submarine Base. More fun is a word we learned, the German word for submarine: Unterseeboot 

And there is Unusual. Last week, I mentioned our Team McVillers has an unusual team logo, consisting of Bunnyducks. So, this is the iron-on design for our team. As our artist friend Rich DiCarlo, the designer, notes that flocks fly in a Vee formation - they likewise walk too in a Vee formation. Naturally :)

Week's Favorite. Patti captured this guy in the mulberry tree in our front yard. How winsome! This is not a stock photo as the white blur in the background is an old 1998 Ford Escort parked in a driveway. Not always a fan - however this bush-tailed suburban squirrel can easily make one a fan!

Family. I'll choose the Villers (my) family, the seven of us just after number seven child was born in 1964 and the last time all seven of us were captured in one frame at my sister Claudia's wedding in 1987. Note the outfit she wore: her formal Air Force officer attire as did her fiancé, a USAF officer and my brother, yet another active USAF Airman. Alas there are only five of us still here, so all seven in any pic is nice...
