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 Weekend Roundup - 'Z'

It's been a busy holiday week so it's time to slow down for Tom's always fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The 26th letter seems like it offers a challenge - usually. However. I found a few examples...

My aunt captured the entrance to Zion National Park in Utah, 1978 with a couple on nieces hiding in the shadows. My brother lives near Salt Lake City so perhaps I can visit both someday.

Closer to home is Zion AME Church in Ansonia.

In this faded print scene from 1982, my sister was in the USAF and they had an air base outside the charming (then) West German town of Zweibrücken. Here is the Parkbrau brewery...

Here is a look at Zois Pizza in neighboring Seymour.

A favorite. All four of us were here together on Christmas. Our daughter captured the look of the simple tree with gifts unopened. The best kind of holiday! Happy New Year to all!

The Weekend Roundup - 'T'

Saturday is a perfect time for Tom's Fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. Todays leter and prompts takes me back in time...

Begins with 'T' includes an oft-used subject, the long gone from the famed Atlantic City boardwalk, the Traymore Hotel. And if one is good, Two must be betterI don't know Grandpa's fascination, but prior to the casinos and glitz today, this ornate inn must have been the finest hotel on this wooden way. On the top is Grandpa in 1949 and twenty years later in 1969 with Aunt Terry. Now, it was certainly fading but looking as stately as ever even as it was demolished in 1972. Whatever the reason, he loved to have his picture taken in front of it!

Tractor is another and fine 'T'. Taken at Bomba's farm in Seymour CT, this old Farmall still works, plows and hauls. The patina of faded red paint wears perfectly on this old workhorse!

A Favorite. I'd heard of, but have never seen a white squirrel. However, the always lovely Patti captured sight of one last week at the Osborne homestead and Museum in neighboring Derby, CT. What makes a white one different than a gray one is unknown to me - they both behave the same:) Have a great week all!
