The Weekend Roundup - 'O'

Tom's always fun meme, The Weekend Roundup, is back with the fourth vowel featured. So the archives were searched and examples of that letter (a bit peripherally perhaps :) have been found...

Ohio begins with 'O' and the city of Steubenville is found therein. I found this folded up correspondence in a box of photos and had to scan it. Apparently this was the ticket to avoid the ticket - carry this in your wallet, present it to the officer and you are on your way. Grandpa, at age 23 showed that it paid to be friends with the Chief...(who looks like he typed it himself given the typing quality :)

More Ohio includes this 1999 entry to the city of Steubenville.

'O' stands for Onion. These beauties were found at a farmers market in neighboring Seymour, CT a few summers ago. I await locally grown produce!

Here is Open Water. This summer view was captured by the always lovely Patti on the Housatonic River in August 2017. Nice neighborhood!

 A Favorite. Patti caught this Cardinal strutting in our back yard. Have a great week all!

My heritage actually began in 1952

I recently started a subscription to Newspapers.com to find the variety of newspaper articles in his role as a news reporter (1960-1962). I found my parent's wedding announcement in The Daily Times of New Philadelphia, Ohio dated Oct. 9 1952. 

Mom looks so lovely I think Dad wrote this wedding announcement. They don't write so descriptively these days it seems. What a find!
