Old Fences in Old Pictures


I found an album dated "1946-1949" from "Selfridge Air Base" in with Dad's papers.

There were so many pictures I have never seen before ... from a time Dad tried to forget ... and struggled to remember at the same time.


These were apparently taken on an "R&R" trip to Boiling Springs PA from Carlisle Barracks PA (Dad went to MP School there in 1947).

These soldiers must be ready to go swimming in the pool behind the fence ... note the rolled up towels under their arms!

It's "Friday Fences" time!

Europe 1978, Part 2





I couldn't figure out why this picture was included amongst the beautiful travel photos in the "Europe 1978" albums I found at the Goodwill.

Then I saw the sign ... and realized this was a Bed and Breakfast that  "anonymous" apparently stayed at on their whirlwind trip through Europe (in the Ireland portion of their album).

And it's not often I find a photo that encompasses so many of the memes I love ...

There are "hearts" in the fence and gate if you look closely.
 There's the "fence" itself.
There's the B&B "sign".
That bottom window has interesting "reflections" ...
And this is definitely a "Vintage" photo!

Did I miss any?
