The Weekend Roundup, 'J'

Time again for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. 'J' is our prompt today; however, I'll be a bit creative today in my choices to meet the prompt accordingly...

Jump! Naturally in order to bounce one has to Jump first, the higher the jump is proportionate to the intensity of bounce of course...

A major international gateway in New York City is JFK Airport in Rockaway NY. Here is Dad exiting his flight in the then new Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, March 1970.

The New Jersey shore is a fine 'J'. (Top) Grandma Agnes sits on the seawall in Brigantine, NJ in July 1972 while Grandpa Ralph is along the famed Boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ in June 1961. 

A Favorite. We like squirrels in our yard (they and the birds get along fine, here at last :) yesterday. Have a great week all!

The Weekly Roundup 'M'

Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup returns for the week. I have searched the archives and this week's letter has lots of choices, so here's mine...

Starts with ’M’ begins with Manhattan in New York City, Easter Sunday 1961. Here is my dad and aunt Terry standing on a balcony showing the skyline. In the distance and I believe we see the construction of the iconic Pan Am (now Met Life) building, opened in 1963.

The restored Derby (CT) Civil War Monument looks resplendent in the cold yet beautiful Winter sky, taken this past January.

The restored Charles Morgan whaling ship is a main attraction at the Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT. It is a great attraction! Photo taken in 1986.

A Favorite. The always lovely Patti captured this wonderful scene on the Derby CT town green! I cannot explain what it is, but the berries, flags and deep blue sky is great! Have a great weekend all!
