The Weekend Roundup, 'Y'

It is another lovely Friday in Southern Connecticut,, so it's time to be part of Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. This week's prompt is the 25th letter (and sometimes vowel :) of the alphabet, not that easy. But doable, at least in my photo archives, some from the distant past, some not, and one clue alone fulfills the prompt...

The main prompt is 'Y' and that means Yellow. This is a yellow 8-yard container (often AKA: dumpster). We were getting a new floor and needed to remove the old. This container was the cleanest I've ever seen and it was Yellow!

My big sister is resplendent in Yellow on Easter Sunday, 1968 at our East Hartford CT home. Note the late '60s hair...

My old friend Mike drove Chevrolet Vegas (the ones that didn't rust out completely that is!) and its cousin, this Yellow Chevy Monza. Photo taken in 1990 and the paint was a bit chalky but still Yellow...

Our daughter is wearing Yellow corduroy overalls, looking cute at about 22 months old...

This sunset has a lot of color, its brilliant Yellow a stunning contrast to the bold red hues - the sky looks as if it is on fire. Have a great week all!

The Weekend Roundup - 'V'

The day after Thanksgiving in the USA is...Friday! Thus time again for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The alphabet may be wearing down. However, I am ready!

Beginning with 'V' is Voices. Here, Ansonia High School Music Director Maria leads the school chorus in song at the Veteran's Day ceremony outside city hall on November 11. 

Like Tom, Volkswagens also begin with 'V'. Our family had a few of these as I was growing up, and these were two of them: top is a 1963 VW Microbus (15 window) with my Dad and grandparents standing beside December, 1963 East Hartford, CT.

The next is our 1964 VW Beetle also by our East Hartford Home. The year is 1969, it is easter Sunday and my little brother Chris looks both dapper and cute at almost 5.

Volume begins with 'V', and this is a glimpse of the food bags filled for 150 families in need at the Salvation Army Greater Valley on Tuesday. I am thankful that food insecurity has not visited us - and equally sad that food deprivation exists...

A Favorite. Mine this week was taken about three hours ago, the fiery sunset over Pershing Drive in Derby CT. The best sunsets always seem to occur in the cold of Winter. Have a great week all!
