The Weekend Roundup, 'C'

The weekend is in full swing so now is the perfect time to post in Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The third letter of the alphabet is featured this week...

Here is a look at 1996 when our son Cameron was working on an early Pentium Computer. It must've left an impression as he is a software developer today... 

Here is one of Grandpa's last cars, an enormous 1971 Chrysler Three Hundred. This was a true land barge, huge, powerful and quiet. It was a handful for me to drive being used to much smaller vehicles. With is famous 440 RB engine, it was quite fast and passed everything in sight (except a gas /petrol station of course...)

This was taken on a beach on Cape Cod. We were stationed at Kalmus Beach on Hyannis Harbor.

A Favorite. This was on Wednesday with the peach hued clouds billowing up to the stratosphere it seemed. Have a great week all!

The Weekend Roundup, 'B'

The second letter of the alphabet is this week's prompt at Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. This letter brings me back to 1964 and a vacation at the New Jersey Shore...

The beach town here is Brigantine, the barrier island north of Atlantic City. I am the only boy in our Big family posing on the sandy Beach...

On vacation on the famous Boardwalk in Atlantic we could once rent and ride Bicycles early mornings 

In Atlantic City, Grandpa took our pictures at Captain Starns Yacht Bar. I believe my little sister is posing in front of this Boat bar. 1964 was in the times before the glitz of the casinos along the Boardwalk and charming watering holes like this were all over this old resort town...

And back to the Boardwalk is the family vacation photog, Grandpa

A Favorite. Okay back to the present. On Thursday, our daughter felt like someone was staring at her - and she was right :) This squirrel with its Bushy tail was! I cannot say I am a big fan of these but this one is very winsome...Have a great week all!

The Weekend Roundup, 'A'

The alphabet begins anew at Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The first letter is easy, and it's hard to decide with the many I have. So Away we go...

Starts with 'A' is our family's AMC Gremlin. Photos taken with a Polaroid SX-70 (remember them?) camera in 1978. It was a clunker, but the 232 six-cylinder engine was smooth with a lot of torque...

The next 'A' is Atlantic City NJ. Here is Grandpa by the famous Boardwalk, in front of one of his favorite places, the Traymore Hotel in Sept. 1956

Airborne in an Airplane. My dad, left rear, was writing an article about the new 747 when it was introduced. This photo is dated Feb. 1970 when he was invited to sit in the flight deck of an Pan Am 747...

A Favorite. The always lovely Patti captured this flicker on our patio a couple of days ago. Have a great week all!
