The Weekend Roundup - 'G'

A missed week of Tom's meme The Weekend Roundup is not what I prefer. However, I am back for today's prompts, which means the seventh letter of the alphabet.

Graduate starts with 'G', and I have a few memories here. Top, dad graduated from Ohio's Bowling Green State University. As a bonus, he is with Grandma & Grandpa too!

I am a Graduate of Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. Aside me is my Dad, 27 years later...

I like the rainbow that showed up for daughter Allegra's Graduation from Ansonia HS, 2006. I imagine she's had lots of Good Luck since then!

Our son Graduated from the University of Hartford in 2012. Allegra also graduated from the U of H (2010).

The George Washington Bridge is another. Known locally as the GWB, it appears to the right. I love looking at that 1931 beauty (but not necessarily being involved in its traffic :) Photo is from 2000 from the Henry Hudson Parkway.

Green is best represented (IMO) by this immaculate 1960 Plymouth Valiant. It is a lovely teal-green paint. Not pretty to be sure, but my favorite choice on the ballot at that show. It must have been the color...Have a great week all!

The Weekend Roundup 'V'

It is Friday on the last day of May, thus time again for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. We're nearing the end of the alphabet and I found a few...

Starting with 'V' is this Plymouth Valiant V-200.  The styling is odd, but this is a perfect specimen of an old Mopar in a stunning teal and white two-tone paint scheme. Taken three years ago,  it was my favorite at a car show (and I wrote about it for our newsletter back then, see it HERE, Page 2)

Here is a Veterans memorial in West Haven Connecticut. This monument notes those who served in Vietnam...

'V' also stands for Volleyball, this faded print taken at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984.

A Favorite. In Ansonia's Memorial Day parade, the featured honoree, Jay Murphy. The 99 year old veteran marched in kilt for many years, but now lives with his family in the Twin Cities. Our small city of Ansonia paid to fly him east to march in the parade. A gentleman who fought in WWII, he inspires all of us - at any age. Have a great week all!
