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...

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.19

It is Friday and time again for Teresa's fun meme Friday Hunt.
It has been an interesting couple of weeks. The always lovely Patti had a kidney transplant on May 9 (where the process began when my sister Suzanne would be a live donor for Patti); after two visits this week to her transplant team at Yale-New Haven Hospital, all is progressing very well :) 

So it is time to get back into the fun Friday routine!

Begins with 'T'. How about our Team McVillers, resplendent in our pink bunnyduck team shirts ready for the Griffin Center for Cancer Care 5K

Tennis with players in wheelchairs on the courts at Eisenhower Park, Milford CT

Week's Favorite. Linus McDonald relaxes without a care in the world...

Food. Well wishers sent food when Patti got home. The upside down pizza and chicken fricassee were wonderful. However, the 2 Lbs box of local chocolates get the nod today - we can all celebrate now!
