Enjoy! I would. We didn't buy Easter eggs.

One week today since we have been out, just pleased I love the woman ime locked in with, bet its a bit stressful for some couples.

Not a problem for us. We are used to snapping at each other

Still finding things to do.

She edged me out in two handed Canasta this morning. And wer're finishing up a 500 piece puzzle..

[Garry]

What other puzzle would people living in Vermont choose ?

Good to see your keeping yourselves occupied.

Hmmm.. Never played Canasta.

Back to slide scanning. I wish I could get better quality scans but the originals weren't all that good. I ran across these two shots yesterday. I took them in the late 70s with an Argus C3, You can probably guess who the woman is. She and my step-mother used to play cards. Apologies if I've already posted this.

Unfortunately, I do not recognise the woman. But I do recognise a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Nice car.

Wouldn't worry too much about the quality of the images. They are authentic. I enjoy seeing them.

Several years ago I purchased a slide digitally copy machine but found that the quality was far from good. So I made a cardboard slide holder and taped it to a window. Set camera on small desktop stand close to it. Results were very much better. See below one of my copied slides.

My wife with Flying Scotsman engine.

That's the Baroness Maria von Trapp. She and her family settled in Stowe Vermont after the war.

Wow! Now I know who she is. Famed for The Von Trapp Family singers and " The Sound of Music. "

Thanks for the information.

Still scanning the slides. Somehow I acquired about a dozen of my father's slides from Japan. We lived in Nagoya from 1947-49. Here's one of them from more than seventy years ago.

[Garry]

Such serious little faces, and yet so colourful.

Very worrying. Like you, Mike. I like him. I do hope he pulls through.

[Thai-Mike]

All I can do is pray for him, and this I will do

My daughter sent me this. It's our granddaughter saying, "Six feet. Not a step closer!"
