A family of owls has taken over the local Loews. Couldn't get the others to look at me.
That one looks angry (lol) [emoji16]

The Toledo Torpedo in Canyon de Chelly.
Some times I take a picture and yawn.
Sometimes I just don’t get it right.
Then every so often I get one that I like so much I wish I could re-shoot, reframe, and shoot more shots.
This one of those.

I remember as a kid trying to sneak away when the old fizzarts broke out the home movies.
How I would like to hear the clickety whirr of an old Bell & Howell once again.
 
This lure started the day as new, and ended the day like this:

Caught over 30 black bass, 3 were 5lbs, and one was 8lbs (probably more like 7, but this is a fishing story)

Can you believe I did not have my camera or a scale, but it was the best fishing day of my life;)

Sounds like a GREAT day...That looks like a good rod for speckled trout.
 
WWII, On The Home Front

Found these war bond certificates purchased by my late father-in-law during a bond drive at the Brooklyn Navy yard, rolled up among his things. One was signed by eight Congressional Medal Of Honor recipients, the other signed by fifteen Purple Heart awardees.

He'd also saved these Ration Books.

My grandma saved ration books too. Her grocer would give her his butter and sugar stamps and she'd bake cookies that he'd sell at the store. There was a lot of that kind of barter she used to tell me of the war times. In the 60's we found a sealed tin of her cookies in the upper kitchen closet and against all advice I tasted a corner of one of them. It was still delicious after almost 20 years!

New Start In America

Found this immigration inspection of my husband's grandfather, traveling aboard the Zeeland out of Antwerp in 1913. He went on to become an electrician, building warships at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The photo with his younger sister and brother is the oldest photo of them we have.

He is the tallest in the back row in the 1924 Jr. HS class photo.

Here he is again, toward the end of his life, with his son and his son's son, my husband.
