"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"

 Digital Hoarding XI

More from my collection of images that make me laugh, feel good about the world, or just make me happy! I hope you like them too.

Historical

I like collecting old historical (or is it hysterical) pictures. I think this is from the 1950s. No arrows toward the Space Coast where I live.

I always love seeing old menus and the prices are just unbelievable.

I usually grab photos from hurricanes that hit near me in Florida. This is Hurricane Ian. It did pass over Melbourne but after the Florida Peninsula took away most of its destructibility.

I have shared a lot of photos from my over 20 years of Spring Training games at Space Coast Stadium. This is a photo of when it was still under construction in 1993.

Photographs

I love to grab photographs of beautiful things. This one is of the football field at Middlebury College.

This is just a beautiful shot of a switchback road in Norway.

The Northern Lights were extensive this past year and I just love this shot of Nubble Lighthouse in York Maine. What a picture!!

It is easy to grab photos from Caleb Kenna. This is Silver Lake and Lake Dunmore. The high point in the middle is Moosalamoo. Spent a lot of time hiking in this area as a kid.

Words

I can relate. I was in college at University of Vermont in 1978,




This is just interesting!!

In my retirement years I have spent more time doing crosswords. All these words are important!

I am getting ready to do a post on a soup I just made. I guess I was doing witchcraft.


This is funny!
coming a rarity

Not words directly but it represents one that was important in April. E-clips. Totally!

Comics

Although they are becoming a rarity, I still grab comics.

I still get the local paper which includes this strip, Pickles.

Photo Memory - BJ with others

Image
As I continue to scan in all the photos I have collected over the years, I have continually modified the way I am trying to organize the photos. I have created groups by individuals, and of course central to that are photos of me. I have shared some of the single photos of me on Facebook, and I would like to share here a few of photos of me with others. The first photo is me, not even four months old, being held by my Grandmother, Helen Rheaume Shackett. I know the photo was taking at our Weybridge Street house in Middlebury by the banister behind us. The stairs are steep in the Provoncha house, and many a drunk fell down those stairs into the cactus my mom kept at the bottom. Tom moved the bathroom from the second floor to the first when he purchased the house, so now only those spending the night get to go up those stairs. BJ with Grandma Shackett The next photo is when I turned one in the summer of 1958. I lived at the Weybridge St house all my life through high school. I am

"All You Need Is Love"

Image
Weddings! All you need is Love !  The other night I had a weird dream about attending a wedding. When I woke, I started thinking about the weddings I have attended in my life. I was not sure if I could remember them all. I know the list is long and I decided to al least get a record of the ones I have pictures from. Sometimes I was just an onlooker, and there were times I was lucky to be part of the wedding party. In actuality, I always participate in the wedding party! Here are some wedding photos from my archive. Family I did not attend this wedding. It was November 24 in 1946, my mom Stella united with my dad Harold at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Middlebury Vermont. Although I was not there in body, you could say my whole future depended upon this moment. My oldest sister Patsy got married out West and none of the family attended. Pat and Brent ended up moving to Hawaii where my niece Lori was born. Tom married Robin, but it was a very small gathering. Just after I graduated

"I Am the Walrus"

Image
 I use to be a Tiger and now I am the Walrus . Just recently I found out that my friend Randy Quesnel had passed away. Although it happened back in March, I just found out on Facebook. I had not kept in touch with Randy but I did have some fond memories of him. One connection we had was playing football together at MUHS. My Senior year, Randy was a Junior. I knew I had a photo of him but all I could find was this scan from the Addison Independent. Tigers of the Week ! This was 1974, 50 years ago. That is Randy on the left, and my classmate Bob Shaw on the right. Randy played fullback but he also spent time as defensive end. I was the defensive halfback on the same side of the field and Coach Wagner had a verbal call for me to let the DE know I was rushing and the DE had to contain. Whenever I made the call, Randy would give me a look, he liked to rush the backfield and I was messing him up. Of course, he knows the call was from either Hubie or Coach Chuck Martin or Coach K. But he was
