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.

    I can really relate to that last photo! The one for suffrage was a great historic photo.

    The age of automobiles with running boards produced a lot of great photos, but so did the 1950s-60s era when side-vent windows were the only way to keep cool. I like the child peeking out of the corner.

    I would love to see automobiles return to the idea of the 1950s where cars were easily identifiable by make because of their unique designs - especially the two-tone idea. I wonder if car makers will ever go back to the ideas of that era? Not the size of those cars. I like the smaller sizes of todays automobiles. But the uniqueness. Today's cars look so much alike it's like everyone's driving the same car. Same shape and design, just different whole colors. Boring.

    My favourite has to be the one with the women suffrage supporters.

  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.

Weekend Coffee Share

  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.
