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.

The first photo in this set was processed in April 1969 and shows a cake (or at least part of one). It looks like it was for a 25th anniversary celebration.

The next two photos were processed in January 1969 and look like they were taken at a New Year's Eve party so they were probably taken on December 31st, 1968 or possibly January 1st, 1969.

The last photo, like the first, was processed in April 1969 and shows the couple seen throughout most of the photos in this batch. I suspect that the 25th anniversary celebration was for them and at least a few pictures from the celebration itself have shown up in previous sets.
