The Weekend Roundup 'G'

Ah, the weekend is here and time for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup, this week featuring the letter 'G' which begins this week's post...

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.

Then there is Glassware on display at Country Cottage in Seymour, CT. They sell an eclectic array of home decor, estate jewelry, seasonal items, and more.

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!

Friday Hunt 2017.2.8

It has been a busy week, so it is nice to to relax and post is a great meme Friday Hunt, kindly hosted by Teresa. The prompts are interesting, so away we go...

Starts with 'H'. I found a few, although some explaining may be in order. On the top row, is a Horse, this from 1992. To the right is Grandpa, I guess in 1940, at a restaurant/hotel called the Kent House. I don't know where, perhaps in Ohio. And he often dressed up handsomely...

To the left, we are in 1999 with nine year old Cameron is sitting on his Grandmother's 1988 Honda Civic. To the right are Houses along the Housatonic River in Shelton CT. Patti captured this while on a friend's boat last week. Nice neighborhood!

Simple. I was unsure, but here is the simplicity I think. Captured by the always lovely Patti on last week's boat ride on the Housatonic. Simple, smooth water and peaceful...

Green. Here is some greenery at a local farmer's market. The Leaves and pickling cucumbers are a delicious shade of green. Thanks Teresa!
