The Weekend Roundup 'W'

It is (finally) a warm weekend for us in Southern New England - so time for Tom's fun meme The Weekend Roundup. the 23rd letter is features and I have an eclectic group for the week

Begins with 'W' is this historic photo of my Aunt Terry on VJ Day, 16 August 1945 - WAR IS OVER! The paper is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the place is on Oregon Avenue in Steubenville, Ohio

And since I have a subscription to Newspapeers.com researching my dad's newspaper articles, I thought I'd share the actual head I was able to find:

Here my first Wheelchair van being Washed by daughter Allegra way back in 1997

Here is a Wedding from 2004.

Week's Favorite. This is a quiet pastel laden sunset taken yesterday, the end of a peaceful day. Have a great week all!

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!
