The Weekend Roundup, 'M'

'Social distancing' is no impediment to participation in Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. 'M' is the prompt and I am ready...

This is a Favorite, this goose looking ready to conduct an orchestra, a Maestro! Taken before the 'stay at home'  at Colony Pond in Ansonia.

I'll see your Mack and raise you one Mack...


Here is a Nash Metropolitan, cute as a button in a local parade awhile back...

Finally, a divine 'M', the Derby Connecticut United Methodist Church, opened in 1895. Have a great week all!

The Weekend Roundup, 'L'

The weeks of 'social isolation' (or whatever it's called) have been uneventful, happily. So it's a perfect time or a favored meme, The Weekend Roundup, hosted by Tom. The letter 'L' is featured this week... 

I'll start with Luscious. This was dinner last night. Since we cannot be seated in a restaurant in Connecticut, takeout is the rule. And one of our favorites, Rosa Mina in Ansonia had a dinner for 4 deal for pickup for $45.00. We chose Chicken Francaise, Penne ala vodka, Caesar Salad and Bread. And dinner tonight. We are eager for restaurants to reopen again for our return to Rosa Mina!

Here is a Lovely look at Long Island Sound in West Haven.

Litchfield in the northwest corner of CT is somewhat upscale. This the Lovely Northfield Farm along Route 254... 

A Favorite. These days when we are more homebound, a neighbor of ours decided to mix things up. Jen has decorated her yard in a style usually see in December. It is becoming a trend, and our spirits Love it!

The Weekend Roundup, 'J'

Ah, Daylight Savings Time begins tomorrow, Spring and Summer are a bit nearer and being Saturday, time again for Tom's fun meme,The Weekend Roundup. This week's letter prompt is a tough one, so I'll go back to an oft remembered 'J', that being the New Jersey beaches, more specifically Brigantine, in July. This small hamlet is a barrier island just north of Atlantic City. These views are from the Seagull Cottages and Motel - So Jersey Shore it is!

Grandma Agnes sits ahead of high tide on the Atlantic, July 1961.

Grandpa looks Jolly (he always seemed to be :) in the photo of his six (at that time) grandkids, July 1964. I'm in plaid...

A still Jolly Grandpa sits on the seawall overlooking the Atlantic, July 1972.

Santa is always Jolly at the Ansonia Holiday Marketplace.

This week's Favorite is Monday's sunset on the Ansonia Hilltop. Rain was on its way, so the moisture laden clouds gave us vivid pastels with the remaining sliver of remaining sunlght. Have a great week all!
