This week's visual prompt for Sepia Saturday is above. Here's what I found by searching The Digital Library of America. (Not sure why the citations formatted like they did.)

    Aww Arthur Godfrey! I remember watching him on tv although I don't really remember much about the show itself.

      I'm the same. I remember his name and face and that he was affable, but that's it.

    I love the Ukulele Club photo. I’m sure descendants of those pictured appreciated the captions handwritten below each club member. And the Arthur Godfrey video is priceless. I remember watching his show as a youngster.

      Yes! Captions make a difference. I'm trying to caption what we have from the pre-internet days for my family's descendants.

    Excellent on theme shots...and I also vaguely remember Author Godfrey, he must not have been my family's favorite, because I saw very few of his shows.

    Who knew Buzz Aldrin played ukulele? Enjoyed Arthur Godfrey too!

  Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to dig into the past and share photos based on a visual prompt. This week we have a smiling couple with a shiny, sleek car. With that in mind I found these at the Library of Congress. Women's Suffrage Scout Car, 1913 Harris & Ewing, photographer.  WOMAN SUFFRAGE. SCOUT CAR . United States Washington D.C.

  Sepia Saturday has challenged bloggers with a photo of a man playing solitaire. Playing cards, solo or with others, is a fine pastime. I fondly remember my grandmother teaching me and my siblings to shuffle cards and play gin. An aunt tried to teach us poker. Bridge is a game that seems to have ended with my mother's generation. She still plays, but I never learned. (I do have one friend from high school who joined the high school bridge club. Now I wish I had.) Here's what I found while searching the Library of Congress archives. Opper, Frederick Burr, Artist.  McKinley has almost all the chips; - but the game is young, yet / F.Opper . , 1894. N.Y.: Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, January 3. Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/2012648746/. Poker . , 1902.

  If we were having coffee, I'd have you over and offer you some honey citron tea that I got at an Asian grocery store. Give it a try. But if it's not your thing, I've got tea and coffee. You'd be able to see that it's been gray and rainy out, which is way I loved going to The Garfield Park Conservatory with my friend Patti. Timely - Peace for Ukraine It's so energizing to visit a greenhouse or conservatory when the weather's gloomy. On Thursday I made Chinese food for my parents, sister and sister-in-law. My sister was here on business from Utah so we got to see her. The food wasn't as good as the first Chinese dinner I made last month. I'm not quite sure why. I've started my taxes and am doing some spring cleaning to declutter. I want to get rid of the papers I don't need which seem to proliferate.
