The Weekend Roundup - 'P'

Ah, since it's Friday, it is time for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. This week's letter prompt is 'Perfect" :) Thanks Tom!

Begins with 'P'. First is our daughter Allegra in a Playpen. I guess at about 10 months old in 1989. And I see a hint of Purple on the label on her overalls...
Here is Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton CT. Opened in 1894, it is a beautiful building.
How about a Pony in a Parade? This is along Main St. Ansonia's Memorial Day Parade in 2015.
It has been another cool Spring in CT. However, our Patio looked inviting in Summer 2017...
A Favorite. This is a Soldiers' Monument featuring a Union soldier from the Civil War on the Derby CT Green. Plaques on two sides of the recently-renovated monument list local soldiers who had fallen in four Civil War battles: Atlanta, Chancellorsville (VA), New Bern (N.C.), and Gettysburg.

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.21

The weekend is here, so time again for a favorite meme, Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa. Here are my look at today's clues.

Starts with 'V'. Well, the easiest 'V' in this case is my last name Villers. So I am taking a look at family pics from decades past for my pics of a variety of Villers...
1947, My Father, Ralph I Villers II, Steubenville, Ohio; behind Grandpa's 1946 Dodge 
1955, Grandpa, Ralph Villers, Steubenville, Ohio; his work vehicle, a 1955 Plymouth. Nicely dressed!
1962, Grandma, Agnes Villers, somewhere in Florida; Most people drove south back then, they in a 1962 Chrysler Newport
1977, myself, Ralph I. Villers III. In front of the defunct Marco Polo restaurant, E.Hartford, CT. Grandpa loved this place when he visited! 
Week's Favorite. On the Derby CT Green, a Civil War monument is undergoing renovation. Constructed in two stages by 18884, I like the flag and flower wreaths laid around it on Memorial Day. I wrote a brief history about it in today's Valley-Voice newsletter (another 'V' :)
Thanks Teresa for this fun meme!
