Memory Monday is on a break today. I’ll see you again next week! In the meantime, here are a couple of re-scans of vintage commercial slides dating back to the 1950s. I’m still trying to figure out if I ever shared the re-scanned (i.e., improved) versions of these images, which I originally shared back in March and April 2018.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been eight months since I last made the drive out to Denio’s in Roseville! There were many, many weekends when I thought of going but never quite made it.

Due to some minor technical difficulties, Memory Monday is on a short break. I hope to be back with more vintage slides next week. In the meantime, I hope you have a good Monday!
