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 :)
Thank you for sharing, Ralph. I too like VW's and had one, a 1961 white sedan with a sliding cloth top roof. After the BIG SPLIT it was my only car for a while. The Wagon, a newer Ford, when with the kids and their mom. I am thinking that all those sisters spoiled you a lot. It was 1961 when the ex and I and four kids moved up to New Hampshire. We stayed three years before my transfer to Houston at the Johnson Space Center. That 60th party must have been fun, I liked the large balloon. We've been gone for a bit and it's nice to be back visiting.
