The Weekend Roundup, 'F'

Good Friday afternoon! It's again time to participate in Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The sixth letter is featured and my past beckons...Starts with "F." "F"ull. A Favorite.

Begins with 'F' includes Family, and it looks like a Fun Family Full of love! The date is 22 Aug. 1976 where we were in town for the 50th wedding anniversary weekend of my grandparents, Ralph and Agnes. This is at the Holiday Inn in Steubenville Ohio. The Families were of my Father from East Hartford, CT and his sister, my Aunt Terry from Fargo North Dakota. It was a Fun time!

How about a photo from 23 Dec. 1980, Flying from Jacksonville to West Palm Beach Florida we have an early morning look ar the Rolls-Royce RB211 jet engine, this type of engine referred to as a Fanjet or Turbo Fan (really :)

President Ford, the 38th President of the US, has a city park named for him in Omaha, Nebraska. Although he was a House Representative member for Grand Rapids, Michigan from 1949-1973, he was actually born in a house at 32nd & Woolworth in Omaha. 

Here is a 1955 Ford Fairlane (another 'F' could be Fifty-Five...)

A Favorite. Just a recent look at the center of Ansonia Connecticut at the corner of Bridge and Main Streets. Ths long Southerly sun offers a a soft leafless tree shadow. Have a great week all!

The Weekend Roundup - 'O'

Friday arrives for the week, so it is now time for Tom's Fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The featured letter, the fourth vowel, offers a lot of intriguing opportunities...

Begins with 'O' takes me back to Grandma Agnes and Ralph Villers, my grandparents. This fills the bill as they lived at 1645 Oregon Avenue in Steubenville, Ohio from 1926 until their passing in 1981. We visited on occasion and i went to college nearby. that front porch is such a reminder of years and decades past!

Aunt Terry, 1959.

The Villers  of Connecticut, 1967. Yes, I'm on the lower left...

The Villers from North Dakota (w/Grandpa), 1976.            

Grandpa, 1645 Oregon Avenue, 1947

Orange begins with 'O'. This sunset has quite a bit of orange in it.

The wheels on this 1890's Boneshaker bicycle look like the letter 'O' I'd say they roll over continuously (as long as the rider pedals that is :). It's a cool design although I cannot imagine it rides smoothly on its iron wheels!

A Favorite. Nothing fancy, this photo from yesterday just showcases how slowly the foliage is changing color this year - very similar to 2011. But a pleasant view nonetheless. Have a great week all!
