The Weekend Roundup, 'A'

It is Friday so time for another round of a favored meme, The Weekend Roundup, hosted by Tom. The alphabet begins anew this week and here is mine...

Beginning with 'A' is easy to start with as our firstborn is named Allegra. This was taken in 1991 when she was 2 years old and posing in her grandmother' sunglasses. Yes, she has grown up but we know she was little once...

Here is an Artist who was commissioned to paint a mural at Ansonia Middle School

And keeping with the civic theme, here is the Ansonia Public Library. Clad in Longmeadow freestone with its granite foundation from local quarries, it was completed in 1892.

Here is my take on this week's fruit, a fabulous Apple Tart at one of our favorite restaurants, Copper City Cafe also in Ansonia. Have 'A' great week!

The Weekend Roundup - 'V'

Friday is here, so it is time again for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup.  Given my surname (Villers), this week's letter fits very well!

Starts with 'V'. Here is my dad, Ralph Villers II, in March 1970 deplaning from an early 747 flight at JFK Airport. He is carrying Voluminous flight and souvenir bags too!

How about a Villers (me) on Vacation at Cape Cod. The town of Barnstable (including Hyannis) beach lifeguards are very nice, not only assisting me into the beach wheelchair, but pushing that wheelchair onto the beach with smiles. Here is Craigville Beach on Nantucket Sound.

On another Vacation on the Cape, this seagull caught our eye. I had a proper parking permit - did he?

Another 'V' is Volkswagen. This is the best car I ever owned (before my wheelchair vans), a 1982 VW Rabbit with a manual transmission. With good tires, it was a blast to drive!

A favorite. Patti captured this on Memorial Day, The Derby CT Public Library. Opened in 1902 and expanded in the same style in 2000, it is a favorite of mine.

Violet. Here is a violet sunset out of the back window of our Ansonia home last November. Another great set of prompts Tom!
