The Weekend Roundup 'S'

It's Friday and so it is time again for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. I like this week's letter and since I was not here last week, my week's favorite pic was from the event I attended last weekend. Onward we go...

My first 'S' is Steeple. Here is the classic New England steeple on the First Congregational Church in Derby CT. If you look closely, you will see the cell phone relays located on the steeple.
Another 'S' is a fun blast from the past - Skating on ice at a rink in St. Paul Minnesota, my dad and his sister and my big sister Michele with her NHL aspirations. The date stamp on the pics is Jan. 1959, and this day, Snowless in St. Paul...
Finally, how about young Ralph in 1964 in front of Captain Starn's Yacht Bar in Atlantic City. This was long before the glitzy casinos of today. In fact, this place looks like it was as seaworthy as the S.S. Minnow...
My Favorite. Last week we celebrated the always lovely Patti's one year anniversary of her kidney transplant in May 2017. We had a pizza party for family and friends at Rosa Mina, our favorite restaurant in Ansonia. Of course, there was cake - and Kidneyversary was the perfect description for a day to celebrate!

  1. One year post kidney is certainly a good reason for a celebratory cake! Love all your S's.

  2. ...GFEAT 'S's Ralph! I live 'S'teeples and this one is gorgeous. 'S'kating is 'S'omething in my past. Back in the '50s I went to Atlantic City and remember Captain 'S'tarn's! Kidneyversary is perfect. Thanks for 'S'haring, enjoy your week.

  3. Great multi-level steeple shots. I especially like the skating rink shots - reminds me of my childhood too. Happy kidneyvarsary to Patti!

  4. I'd celebrate my new kidney, sounds like it took real good. I missed her having it done. Congratulations to her. That hockey stick was bigger than you. I'm wondering if you remembered that day,
