The Weekend Roundup 'N'

Spring may be here, but not the sunshine on this cold rainy Friday - a perfect time for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. There are lots of ways to showcase the letter 'N', and here are my choices...

Here is New York City and this is Grandpa on Times Square. I believe this is New Year's Eve, either 1963 or 1964. Some readers probably remember the B.O.A.C. reference... 

Our furry, friendly, family feline Linus McDonald is a Nice fellow.

Back to New York City and a great picture taken by Allegra last summer of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge crossing the East River.

This is Night in NYC. I am driving and my passenger captured this view along the BQE (I-278) in Brooklyn.

A Favorite was taken by Patti this morning. It seems that these sparrows are posing for the photographer - and rather winsome at that. Have a great weekend all!

The Weekend Roundup 'R'

A blog can be fun - if the hosting service allows, that is. I hope this latest version of Blogger works okay so I can blog again! So I am back again for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. The letter 'R' is featured today, so given my name, I'll start there...

Here are the three Ralphs (Ralves?) on the New Jersey shore in the Summer of 1964. L_R is Grandpa (Ralph I), myself (Ralph III) and Dad (Ralph II). A trio, tribune or trifecta of namesakes beginning with 'R'!

Another 'R' is Ramp. The following is the operational sequence of the wheelchair ramp on my Dodge Grand Caravan. It does draw attention!

A Favorite. We've not had a hard frost yet this year in Southern CT, so the foliage has not been very colorful as a whole, only occasional bold colors appear. And one of those places is on a maple tree in our back yard. So at least we won't have to drive to Vermont for autumnal hues!
