Ruby Tuesday Too - Local Cabernet

Ruby Tuesday Too appears mere hours from whwn Patti and I visited a small winery that is only 2.1 miles from our home - Sevino Vineyards in Woodbridge Connecticut. Being so close, Patti and I have finally paid the small winery and tasting room, and found a ruby that should work well - a 2013 Cabernet Franc (Patti's choice, I had the Bianco di Casa). So it was a nice autumnal day amidst the vines and changing foliage - with a ruby red meme subject as well...

Whimsical Windows - Old factory with possibilities

Toby hosts the architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. My subject today is the old Farrel Corporation Process Lab building in our domicile of Ansonia CT. This is the back, taken from Main Street. I am taken by the large windows and vines growing on the fire escape.

I like the style of the unused factory, and see many possibilities for. A developer has purchased this building with an eye toward redeveloping into lofts with nearly ceiling to floor lofts and retail. Being such a sold building, we taxpayers hope for its reuse...

Shadow Shot Sunday - Ohio Valley Collegiate Shadows

For Shadow Shot Sunday 2, I again look at decades past and places with a hint of shadow - and memories. 

I have been looking at many a digitized print that take me to my alma mater Franciscan University in Ohio.I haven't been there in 15 years (and Patti is still amazed that she agreed to take that 1999 drive with me to that mythical place called Steubenville :) 

Recently, I was contacted by a classmate who also graduated with me back then - and this prompted me to peruse tho my photo archives from back in the day. At the top, I receive my diploma; in 1999, the campus here prompting shadowy memories then - and now...

Pics, L-R: I receive my diploma, 8 May 1977; US-22 Gateway to Steubenville. August 1999, Chapel, 1999; Student Center, 1999; Patti with bookstore bruin, 1999

Wordless Wednesday - Beginning and Ending Pink

Pink arches brighten up the rainy day 5K - at Pounding the Pavement for Pink last Saturday. My spectacular survivor spouse Patti and her support group team were part of that sea of pink - from start to finish...

Whimsical Windows - Harvest Fest

Toby's fun meme, Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors, arrives a scant six days before the event of the autumnal season event of the year (in our domicile of Ansonia CT, at least :), that being the Harvest Festival. This is the main event of the Ansonia Cultural Commission, of which I am a member compiling the metrics and designing the program book - as of today, there are 101 vendors. We hope for sun...The windows and doors are of our city hall all dressed up for previous Harvest Festival, awash in mums and pumpkins. I, for one, am ready!
