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.
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!
...Ralph, another nice look back in the family photo album. This weekend's storm will lengthen the wait to see green. Thanks for stopping by, please come again.

Love the picture of the family with the old style hotel - reminds me of a few places we stayed in my childhood. The shot of the ocean and the cattail reeds is beautiful - I tried really hard to ignore the snow and focus on the blue skies and "whitecaps" instead! I, too, am longing for warmer, green days!
