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. 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 most 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.
There aren't any dates on any of the slides in this set but they all would have been taken in the mid to late 1960s. The first photo appears to be a continuation of the last set and features the same dinner/event. The second is a dinner for what is clear another event, this one much fancier...perhaps a wedding reception. The third photo is a birthday. I think it is the birthday of the man in the middle as opposed to either of the kids he is holding. I think the cake says "Happy Birthday Henry". Given the decor and preponderance of clover, it would seem to also be St. Patrick's day. The last phot shows a man and woman clearly dressed for some kind of formal event. Again, maybe a wedding but that's just a guess.
The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
