Begins with 'T' includes an oft-used subject, the long gone from the famed Atlantic City boardwalk, the Traymore Hotel. And if one is good, Two must be betterI don't know Grandpa's fascination, but prior to the casinos and glitz today, this ornate inn must have been the finest hotel on this wooden way. On the top is Grandpa in 1949 and twenty years later in 1969 with Aunt Terry. Now, it was certainly fading but looking as stately as ever even as it was demolished in 1972. Whatever the reason, he loved to have his picture taken in front of it!
Tractor is another and fine 'T'. Taken at Bomba's farm in Seymour CT, this old Farmall still works, plows and hauls. The patina of faded red paint wears perfectly on this old workhorse!
A Favorite. I'd heard of, but have never seen a white squirrel. However, the always lovely Patti captured sight of one last week at the Osborne homestead and Museum in neighboring Derby, CT. What makes a white one different than a gray one is unknown to me - they both behave the same:) Have a great week all!
...Ralph, 'T'he nice part of your posts is 'T'hat 'T'hey always 'T'ake us back in 'T'ime. I was only in Atlantic City only in the mid '50s for a Shriners convention. It was magical when I was a little kid. 'T'he 'T'raymore looked better 'T'han the glitz 'T'hat replaced it. Change 'T'he oil and 'T'hose old 'T'ractors will run forever! I've NEVER seen a white squirrel, how neat. 'T'hanks Ralph for stopping by, you were missed!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are white squirrels in Olney, IL. I used to see them a lot when I was young, but now they are getting harder to find. Love the hotel!
ReplyDeleteI like your white squirrel, I knew of them but haven't everseen one. I'm liking the Farmall tractor also. My dad got himself a Farmall Model "M" the year I left home. I had driven a couple of the smaller Model "H's" of my uncles to haul grain wagons in. They were fun to drive.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a white squirrel, but I've seen black ones. I think they're beautiful. Great post of "T" photos, I like that old tractor, too! Have a good week, Ralph!
