"Tell Me What You See" (Digital Hoarding XVI)

Image
 I will admit, that my digital hoarding has become such that I cannot remember any more the details of each photo I have stashed away on my hard drive. At my age, my data storage (aka brain) is deleting things to make room for new things. So let me go through another group of photos, not taken by me but either sent to me, scanned from a hard copy, or just pulled off the internet including from Facebook. Here we go, let us start with a few personal photos I have saved. Personal I actually found this photo in my sister Pat's yearbook and scanned it in. This was the Junior Miss pageant held at Middlebury Union High School. Patsy is sitting second from right, next to neighbor and friend Trudy. Well, I'll be damned, this is a photo I took. My friend Mac Monroe is pulling out some wine. His children rented a house for Thanksgiving and invited me over for the festivities. This would be the last time I see Mac as he passed within a year of this photo. My friend Nancy went to Korea with...

"Glass Onion"

 Being Thanksgiving, I thought it appropriate to indulge myself with food. I have been to four more new restaurants in the last few months to keep pace with twelve for the year 2025. Part of my bucket list for the year was to visit 12 new restaurants and go to 52 different places (weekly). Here is where I currently stand.

 The fourth cycle of my life was very busy for multiple reasons. I had split the BLOG posts into the six years before I retired and I expected to write a second post about the next eleven years. But as I started to gather photos, my folder was getting very crowded and I was only up to 2018. The years 2020 and beyond of course are the COVID and post COVID era. I then realized after retirement, I had a lot more time to take pictures and do things. So here are the photos I collected before stopping in early 2018. I also realized that many of the photos have appeared in this BLOG which I started when I retired. If you get a chance, you can hit the "Archive" button on the left side of my BLOG and visit more stories about these photos. So this is the middle of the fourth 17 year cycle of my life... Cruises I went on a few cruises in my fourth cycle. Here I am with my old boss from ENSCO, John Pitkethly, and his two sons David and Scott. We are at a Margaritaville in Falmouth Jamaic...
