The Weekend Roundup, 'S'

Friday appears for the week, so it's time again for Tom's meme, The Weekend Roundup. Today's letter prompt is easy - what's not easy is choosing among the hundreds of photos that match the prompt :) Here we go...

My heritage begins in Steubenville Ohio, so here were! I believe the year is 1946, my dad, in the USAAF and Aunt Terry are by the Market Street Bridge over the Ohio River to West Virginia. Built in 1906, it still stands and has that Steel bridge deck that I, and most drivers it seems, do not like to drive over...    

Sunrise also begins with 'S'. I've used this before, but like it enough to use it gain :) This was an early morning flight Atlanta-Philadelphia on a Delta Airlines 727 on Jan. 2, 1981. I believe we were over South Carolina. Note the faint curvature of the earth below at about 6:45 a.m.

Stainless Steel is another 'S', these tanks at the Two Roads Brewing Co. in Stratford Connecticut. My daughter and I took a brewery tour on March 7, one week before the lockdown in the state...
The Strand Theater in neighboring Seymour Connecticut is rather alliterative. And the Sterling Lion Players performed this offbeat play a couple of years ago.

A Favorite. During these times of lockdowns, some have kept their Christmas holiday light on their houses. We have kept ours inside - love the LED lights, snow person and reindeer. this - and takeout meals - are methods of coping. Have a great week all!

The Weekly Roundup 'L'


It’s time for a favorite site, Tom’s fun meme The Weekend Roundup. The twelfth letter of the alphabet is featured, and I am taking a couple of liberties but do think the theme is maintained :)

Beginning with ‘L’ is the Latex Foam Products. Of greater importance was the fire and leveling of the Latex Foam Products facility on Ansonia’s West Main Street, May 14, 2001. We found these prints last year. Today, Latex Foam Products in a facility in nearby Shelton. The black smoke is seen over our hilltop home and seen as far as 15 miles / 24 Km away. (Publication links are live)

Another ‘L’ is Big Stony Lake near Park Rapids, Minnesota. This 1981 scanned print is my waterskiing cousin.

The third 'L' is HRH Linus, our fluffy family feline. Perhaps he is getting ready to destroy the village - but not really as he is a) Too lazy and b) actually likes sitting on the abrasive ‘snow’ instead. Good kitty! 


Finally, this is my favorite, a Lady Cardinal. Patti captured her yesterday after the left eggshells on a patio table for our avian friends. A few cardinals arrived to take part. Have a great week all!
