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!

Friday Hunt 2017.2.5

Friday returns and it is time again for the fun photo meme Friday Hunt, hosted by Teresa. The prompts this edition are great and I am ready...

Starts with 'E'. The first is a town I grew up in suburban East Hartford, CT. The house on Wickham was the Villers abode, and I have two from 1963, around Christmastime, before and after a snowfall. I was aged 9 (Grade 3, O'Connell School) on the bicycle. See the kids jumping rope - TV was only only electronic device and mom made us go outside "to get some air"...

Drops. Here is in 2003, along I-195 as I am driving the family is on our way to a Cape Cod. It rained on the way, and who wants rain at the beach? As I recall, the plentiful rain drops ended before we arrived in Hyannis. 

Happy. The first day pf school, August 30.1995. Our son Cameron starting Kindergarten, our daughter Allegra (much more experienced going into second grade :) posing with genuine smiles as they await school to begin. Happy indeed!
