See the previous post in this series here.
I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.
None of the photos in this set are dated but like all the other ones from this batch they would have been taken some time in the mid to late 1960s. The first two feature the outdoors in the winter. These may be the first shots from this batch that I've seen with snow. More common are beach shots but that appears to be from vacations to Florida. These people appear to live somewhere in the Northeast. Previous clues have indicated New Jersey but that's far from certain.
The last two pictures look like preparations for a special dinner. I think those are plastic Easter eggs next to the plates and you can see chocolate rabbits in the background of the last photo so I'm guessing this is probably Easter.
